The 87 million pesos (about $1.94 million) that the Philippines has been
asking from the United States as payment for the damage caused by its
Navy ship on a marine sanctuary is now on the "documentation stage," a
senior government official said Saturday.
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the 87 million pesos were the amount of compensation that the Philippine government sought from the US after USS Guardian, a minesweeper ship of America, ran aground on the south atoll of the Tubbataha Reefs off western Philippine province of Palawan in January 2013.
