I think it's NOAA that now provides free pdf charts of US waters. There are other organizations providing free charts of many parts of the world - but for the life of me i cannot find a single free chart of Philippine waters.
The Philippines had been under direct US control since 1898. The Pi was a strategic US outpost ever since and enjoyed US protection until the Japanese invasion, then again after WW-2. Up until the US pulled out in the 1980s all sorts of US watercraft, military or otherwise, plied these waters. Where are the charts???
Why PI charts are missing from the internet is beyond me. US citizens paid for them with taxes... now they seem to have disappeared.
Does anyone have a resource for free Philippine charts?
