  • 20 Century Ends
    New Year‟s Celebration 2013 20th CENTURY ENDS ANKIND yesterday stood on the threshold of a new millennium, linked by satellite technology for the most closely watched midnight in history. M The millennium watch was kept all over the world, from a sprinkle of South Pacific islands to the skyscrapers of the Americas, across the pyramids, the Parthenon and the temples of Angkor Wat. Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said Filipinos should greet 2013 with ''great joy'' and ''anticipation.'' ''The year 2013 is not about Y2K, the end of the world or the biggest party of a lifetime,'' he said. ''It is about J2K13, Jesus 2013, the Jubilee 2013 and Joy to the World 2013. It is about 2013 years of Christ's loving presence in the world.'' The world celebration was tempered, however, by unease over Earth's vulnerability to terrorism and its dependence on computer technology. The excitement was typified by the Pacific archipelago nation of Kiribati, so eager to be first to see the millennium that it actually shifted its portion of the international dateline two hours east. The caution was exemplified by Seattle, which canceled its New Year's party for fear of terrorism. In the Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III is bracing for a “tough” new year. At the same time, he called on Filipinos to pray for global peace and brotherhood and to work as one in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Mr. Estrada and at least one Cabinet official said the impending oil price increase, an expected P60- billion budget deficit, and the public opposition to amending the Constitution to allow unbridled foreign investments would make it a difficult time for the Estrada presidency.

    www.maritimeissues.com Joint Development in the South China Sea: Lessons from the Past and Future Prospect Yanmei Xie I. Introduction The South China Sea is often said to be rich in hydrocarbon reserves, although most of the deposits are uncon- firmed, due in part to the multiple claims laid over them by several coastal economies. China (and Taiwan) claim sovereignty over all the islands. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei each claim some of the land fea- tures. In addition, China also claims unspecified sovereign rights within a so-called ―nine-dash line‖, the area in which significantly overlaps exclusive economic zones (EEZs) asserted by the other claimants and Indonesia.1 Available estimates of the hydrocarbon reserves vary greatly, partly due to the difficulty to survey in disputed wa- ters. Exploratory activities have long been a major cause for frictions, which—traditionally played out in unseen courts of diplomacy—have intensified in recent years into confrontations at sea.2 In 2011, Chinese law enforcement vessels and fishing boats skirmished with Philippine or Vietnam seismic surveillance ships.3 In May 2014 Beijing deployed a deep-water drilling rig into waters disputed with Hanoi, triggering a two-month standoff at sea by doz- ens of vessels and violent anti-China protests in Vietnam. Although tensions cooled after China withdrew the rig in July and restored high-level bilateral diplomacy, relations have yet to fully recover.4 Beijing, however, has left Malaysia and Brunei largely unbothered, although many of Malaysia‘s natural gas fields are located within China‘s nine-dash line.
