Carpio: PH Constitution prohibits joint development in EEZ

 

“You cannot enter into joint development within our EEZ [Exclusive Economic Zone]. That’s prohibited by the Constitution,” Senior Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said Thursday, July 14. Citing the ruling of the arbitral tribunal that favored the Philippines, Carpio said the West Philippine Sea “constitutes the EEZ of the Philippines” and “there is no overlapping EEZ from China”. Whatever development is undertaken in the area can only be done with companies, but not with a state like China.
