The Department of Foreign Affairs has warned against those that will try to encroach the Philippine waters that it will “vigilantly” monitor any developments in the West Philippine Sea, especially after the recent in-person discussion between President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“The Department awaits the official reports from the military and our law enforcement agencies on the China Coast Guard’s actions to force Filipino fishermen in Ayungin Shoal to leave the area,” DFA spokesperson Ma. Teresita Daza said. DFA asserted the Philippines’ rights over the Ayungin Shoal, which is part of the country’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
“Filipino fishermen are free to exercise their rights and take whatever they are due under Philippine and international law, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) and the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award,” the agency said.
