PBBM: MALAKING GULO YAN PAG GINULO NG CHINA | MARCOS PINAG BABANTAYAN ANG OIL AND GAS FIELD SA WPS

Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary and Palace press officer Claire Castro confirmed Marcos’ instructions to the PCG in a press briefing on Thursday. She said the decision to have the PCG guard the MAE-1 was to ensure and secure the Philippines’ energy resources. “Bilang tugon, binigyang-diin ng PCG sa pangunguna ni Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan ang planado at maingat na paglagay ng kanilang 97-meter offshore patrol vessel sa Malampaya East. Kasama ring ilalagay doon ang dalawang 44-meter patrol vessel at aerial assets ng PCG,” Castro said. The PCG said Marcos wanted 24/7 security and protection over MAE-1, given its importance in energy security and the national interest. #chinesecoastguard #philippinecoastguard #oilandgas #malampaya
