    Fish catch down 70%
    Cariaso, Bella; Macairan, Evelyn; Felipe, Cecille Suerte; Lee-Brago, Pia (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2023-09-19)
    Fish catch in the West Philippine Sea has gone down by 70 percent since 2020, and further decline is expected amid reports of massive poaching of corals by the Chinese, a militant fishers’ group warned yesterday. Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) national chairman Fernando Hicap raised the warning in a radio interview, in the wake of reports of plunder of corals in Rozul Reef, believed perpetrated by the Chinese. Corals are breeding grounds for marine life. Reports from fisherfolk – particularly from Zambales – have indicated 70 percent decline in fish catch “amid the illegal activities of Chinese fishing vessels,” Hicap said.

    The Philippines is seeking oil exploration partners in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with offers of attractive terms, incentives and viable service contracts with the government. The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Philippine embassy in Abu Dhabi have teamed up in promoting energy investment opportunities for emirati investors. The Philippines and China have agreed on a joint oil and gas exploration deal, one of 29 agreements signed during the state visit to the Philippines of Chinese President Xi Jinping in November 2018. The two countries have formed working groups to explore oil and gas agreements in the West Philippine Sea.
