00:00DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo is in doubt if China will get permission to conduct marine scientific research in the Philippine Ocean.
00:10In a hearing of the Senate Special Committee on Philippine Maritime and Admiralty Zones
00:17where a submersible drone was found in Masbate,
00:20Manalo said that the technical working group will first investigate
00:27the MSR requested by foreign scientists.
00:32It started in 1996 when only 68 MSRs were given by the Philippines to foreign scientists
00:40most of which were requested by Japan to study the ocean in Mindanao.
00:46In addition, the Philippine scientists need to cooperate with foreign scientists
00:50who want to conduct research in our ocean.
