I think Shell found some gas but in very deep water but maybe there is oil around too
Yes, a lot of gas, and then built the Malampaya platform and a 500km subsea pipeline to Batangas. A second platform is due to be installed next year.
For the OP, one of my FB friends flies for this outfit:
Lionair Incorporated - Private Jet, Executive Jets, AirCharter, Jet Charter with Guaranteed prices
He seems to spend his whole time flying Filipina celebrities in bikinis between beach resorts in Cebu, and then posting photos on FB of him with them!
