DFA notes ‘daily bullying’ in SCS Complains Chinese harassment deprives PH rightful use of its EEZ Read more:
Regular harassment by Chinese in the disputed South China Sea has deprived the Philippines of the rightful use of its exclusive economic zone , Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo told a security conference in Munich, Germany over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of the Philippines said in a statement on Sunday that its troops are “always ready to provide a safer, more peaceful and progressive country.”The AFP said it “will always be resolute in ensuring the interest of Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea,” under the guidance of PresidentFerdinand Marcos Jr.’s vision laid out in his speech during the alumni homecoming at the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio City on Saturday.
As Manila asserts this decision, Manalo said the UN could further help by creating greater awareness on the importance of a rules-based maritime order. In the same panel discussion, Manalo clarified that the maritime row over the WPS would not be the sum total of Beijing and Manila relations. Escudero also noted that the administration, including the military, the Philippine Coast Guard and the DFA are more active in issuing separate statements compared to previous administrations.
