Fishers’ group PAMALAKAYA on Friday said the continued presence of Chinese and United States ships in the West Philippine Sea threatens their livelihood.In a statement, PAMALAKAYA reiterated its call to “demilitarize” the WPS amid the “recurring presence of foreign naval ships” from the two countries.The group believed that the presence of China Coast Guard vessel 5901, also known as the “ monster ship ,” in the WPS was in response to the presence of US naval ship Victorious last month.
