继近期在泉州举行菲中磋商后，菲律宾外交部表示，在讨论南海联合勘探事宜时，任何油气合作都将严格遵守菲律宾宪法，并确保国家主权的完整。
菲律宾外交部（DFA）于4月12日澄清称，有关与中国或其他国家进行油气合作的决策，将遵循菲律宾宪法、法律，以及该国对其专属经济区和大陆架资源享有的主权权利。
此项声明旨在回应关于重启南海联合勘探讨论的评论，这些讨论建立在3月27日至28日于中国泉州举行的第24次外交部磋商和第11次双边磋商机制会议期间的初步交流基础之上。
在费迪南德·马科斯总统宣布国家能源紧急状态的背景下，菲律宾外交部强调，在探索确保能源安全的合法方案时，将坚持国际法、和平解决争端，并维护菲律宾对其海洋权益的管辖权。
