Pursuing joint explorations with China for resources will raise constitutional issues, Senator Risa Hontiveros said. | zacariansINQ
Hontiveros was referring to a recent Supreme Court decision which ultimately declared void and unconstitutional a 2005 agreement that allowed China and Vietnam to conduct a joint exploration with the Philippines for oil resources in areas under the country’s jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea.
“It moves the timetable back, for sure. But the constitutional provision that reserves the exploration, development, and utilization of natural resources to Filipino citizens, or corporations or associations at least sixty percent of whose capital is owned by such citizens is there to ensure that the government safeguards the patrimony of our people; that our country’s future well-being is not made subject to the expediencies of the present day,” said Hontiveros.
“As stated by the DOE, and I whole-heartedly agree with this, the development and optimal use of the country’s renewable energy resources is central to the Philippine’s sustainable energy agenda,” said Hontiveros.“Renewable energy is an essential part of the country’s low emissions development strategy and is vital to addressing the challenges of climate change, energy security, and access to energy,” she added.
