Former
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte terminated any ideas of joint exploration of the
West Philippine Sea with China.
A
change in the administration, successor President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
is now open to such an idea.
In a speaking engagement the President was quoted saying that oil
exploration is a "small thing" for China but something significant
for the Philippines.

"We'll have to find a way kasi kailangan na
natin eh (we really need it now). We already need, kung mahanap dyan kailangan
na talaga ng Pilipinas (whatever resources we could find because the
Philippines really need that now)," Marcos said.
The President said the constitutional problems
delaying the joint exploration must be resolved.
"Kasi kini-claim ng China kanila 'yun, eh atin
naman talaga iyan. So, sinasabi ng Pilipinas, basta't 'yung batas kailangan
masundan 'yung sa Pinas (China is claiming the [South China Sea] as its
property, but it's ours. For the Philippines' part, we have to follow the
law)," he said.
"Ang sinasabi naman ng Chinese, hindi, amin
iyan eh, kaya't kailangan masundan is Chinese. Kaya 'yun talaga ang roadblock
doon (The Chinese are saying that they own that, and they want their own terms
to be followed. That's the roadblock there)," he said.
