MANILA, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Philippines President Rodrigo
Duterte has approved the Department of Energy's recommendation
to lift the suspension of petroleum activities and the
resumption of oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea,
his energy minister said.
Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said in a statement on
Thursday that a "resume to work" notice has been issued to
service contractors undertaking petroleum-related activities in
the area, which had been suspended from 2014 due to territorial
disputes.
China claims almost the entire South China Sea, believed to
be rich in energy reserves and marine resources. Brunei,
Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan also have claims.
