The Philippine CCUS direction runs through the Philippine Energy Plan 2020-2040 with depleted-field storage (Malampaya foremost) as the anchor option — but the dedicated regulatory track is nascent and must be stated as such. No 2025 DOE CCUS circular could be verified (the 2025 circular trail covers petroleum data, hydrogen and service contracts; the standing call is a 2023 Senate inquiry urging guidelines). What exists: PEP integration of CCUS, ADB/IEA source-sink mapping (Luzon clusters, Malampaya-adjacent options), a 2023 Senate resolution demanding rules, and London Protocol contracting-party status (with PNG, the regional exception that eases future cross-border design). The honest record is framework-direction with guidelines pending — the Malampaya depletion clock, not a circular, drives urgency.
