Seeing red over 'blue economy' lie

IN an interview last week, one Michael Raymond Aragon, who is chairman of something called the Offshore Mining Chamber of the Philippines Inc. (OMCPI), made this howler of a statement in connection with praising the government for finally ratifying the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP):

"The clean and green mining industry and the various companies under our new blue economy sector, beyond just fishing, may benefit from preferential tariff reductions for our imported industrial goods and equipment from abroad," Aragon said.
