Looking for methane hydrates.

Looking to get their foot further in the door

For the methane hydrates, hydrocarbons, fish.

If you read the article they mention the exploration drilling for “fire ice”. A massive source of energy. A source so humongous that some people are extremely worrried..

A lot of Pinoys think they are being sold out

I saw this in TV Patrol the other day!

This might help...

It’s worth checking on Google Earth. There is deep water in the South China Sea / West Philippine Sea region.



This is interesting...

See the dark blue to the west of Manila and Luzon. That is the zone of subduction. It’s pretty deep.

Google Earth is pretty good for bathymetry. I think the data is supplied by NOAA. You can clearly see the plate boundaries either side of the Philippines. The darker the blue the deeper the water. Note the trench running down the east side of the Archie Playgo.



“The Manila Trench is an oceanic trench in the Pacific Ocean, located west of the islands of Luzon and Mindoro in the Philippines. The trench reaches a depth of about 5,400 metres (17,700 ft), in contrast with the average depth of the South China Sea of about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft).”
