Asserting
what is ours.
The
Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) announced that it will install three out of the
planned 10 “state-of-the-art” lighted ocean buoys at the Philippine Rise as
part of efforts to mark and protect the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone
(EEZ).
In
their Facebook post, the PCG said three buoys - each having a length of 30 feet
-- are equipped with modern marine aids to navigation lanterns, specialized
mooring systems, and a remote monitoring system that uses satellite technology
to transmit data to the PCG National Headquarters in Port Area, Manila.

The ocean markers came from Valencia in Spain and were assembled
by the PCG Maritime Safety Services Command (MSSC) and M-NAV Solutions Inc.
(M-NAV).
“The Uni-Orient Pearl Ventures Inc. Shipyard where
the buoys were delivered also assisted during the assembling process,” the PCG
said.
It said PCG Commandant Admiral Geroge Ursabia Jr.,
along with M-NAV Marine Aids to Navigation Specialist Engr. Adrian Van Boven,
PCG Central Visayas Commander Rear Admiral William Isaga, and the Technical
Inspection Team of the PCG MSSC have inspected the buoys.
“[Ursabia] also checked the equipment and other
materials that will be used to install the ocean markers in the Philippine Rise
situated 250 kilometers east of the northern coastline of Aurora,” the PCG
said.
During the inspection, Ursabia said the buoys in
the Philippine Rise “will effectively communicate” that the vicinity waters are
considered “special protected zone,” hence mining and oil exploration are
strictly prohibited to preserve its natural resources.
The PCG said the ocean markers will also be used to
mark the designated food supply exclusive zone and ensure safe navigation in
the Philippine Rise.
