The Philippines on Wednesday said it would oppose what it termed as attempts by Beijing to formally assign Chinese names to undersea features on part of Manila’s continental shelf on its Pacific Ocean coast. The area, which the United Nations designated in 2012 as within the jurisdiction of the Philippines, is better known as Benham Rise. It is roughly the size of Greece and believed to be rich in biodiversity and tuna. A large part of Benham Rise, located 135 miles off Aurora, is part of the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The remaining part not under the country’s EEZ was granted by the United Nations as part the Philippines’ extended continental shelf (ECS). President Rodrigo Duterte said he will order the Philippine Navy to fire at those who try to exploit the country’s EEZ
