    Palace: No Du30-Xi fishing pact; Sino 'swarm' remains
    Salaverria, Leila B.; Ramos, Marlon; Cabalza, Dexter (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2021-04-24)
    Malacañang on Friday denied that there was a “verbal fishing agreement” between President Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping just days after Manila filed two more diplomatic protests against the continued presence of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea. The denial also comes after former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio pointed to a statement by Duterte himself that he had a “verbal agreement” with Xi in 2016 to allow the Chinese to fish in Philippine waters. “There is no truth to the speculation of a purported ‘verbal fishing agreement’ between President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and President Xi Jin Ping, nor that Chinese vessels were encouraged to stay in West Philippine Sea despite the diplomatic protests and strongly worded statements of Philippine government officials,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

    Zambales folk: Sino boats depleting our fish catch
    Aglibot, Joanna Rose; Cabalza, Dexter; Ocampo, Karl R. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2021-04-16)
    Fishermen on Friday said at least 20 Chinese vessels have been anchored about 111 kilometers off San Antonio town in Zambales province since January and they blamed the mysterious nocturnal activities of the ships for their dwindling catch. “When we’re fishing at night, we could hear a loud sound underneath the waters near the area where these foreign ships are staying. They are disturbing our fishing ground,” said Jefrey Melchor, one of the fishermen who complained about the diminishing amount of fish and squid they were able to haul in daily.

    PHL seeks oil exploration partners in UAE
    Lee-Brago, Pia (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2019-10-06)
    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.
