The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is making the protection of the newly discovered MAE-1 gas field its "topmost priority." Commodore Jay Tarriela announced that 97-meter vessels, 44-meter ships, and aircraft are being strategically deployed to secure the area.
Why this matters:
● Massive Scale: The field can power 5.7 million Filipinos or nearly 200,000 schools annually.
● Historic Milestone: Energy Secretary Sharon Garin calls this a "transformative" find, our first major gas discovery in 30 years.
● Proactive Defense: The PCG and AFP are working together to ensure this vital resource is protected despite security challenges in the West Philippine Sea. 🇵🇭⚓️
