MANILA — Any decision regarding oil exploration activities in the West Philippine Sea will be up to the next administration as far as President Rodrigo Duterte is concerned, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Wednesday.

“The President said we’ll just have to leave it to the next administration what it will do with that oil exploration,” Lorenzana told reporters at a defense exhibit in Pasay City. Duterte is stepping down on June 30.
