The Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement said Saturday that pursuing a blue economy in the country would not just boost economic growth but also address the issues related to the West Philippine Sea .In a statement, PRRM president Edicio dela Torre said that the country's land area is merely 300,000 square kilometers while the exclusive economic zone stretches across 2.2 million square kilometers.
"Sustainability will not be achieved if it doesn't also enhance the income and livelihood of people. We should transcend what may seem abstract, focusing not just on rights but also on livelihood—the source of life and sustenance for our citizens," said Dela Torre, who also serves as a co-convenor of Atin Ito.
