MESSAGE TO FISHERMEN. In this file photo, President Rodrigo Duterte discusses matters with Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana on the sidelines of the Joint Armed Forces of the Philippines-Philippine National Police Command Conference at the Malacañang Palace on June 18, 2019. Simeon Celi Jr.

"This was not to belittle anything. There was damage but luckily nobody died. This is a small matter for anybody to bring in the war, the gray ships," he said.Sorry kung ganun ang feeling nila, but alam naman nila na that area is claimed by both. Para sa kanila, sa China, it happened within their jurisdiction, sa atin within our jurisdiction,struck down China's claim to the West Philippine Sea, including Recto Bank.

Duterte doubted that Chinese would fish in Recto Bank, even if the Chinese embassy admitted the Chinese ship found in the area had been conducting light purse seine operations, a fishing method.His remarks take on the tone of his previous statements on the incident, where he downplayed it as aDuterte is yet to meet with the 22 fishermen or the owner of their boat F/B Gem-Ver – uncharacteristic, given his penchant for meeting with distressed Filipinos in headline-grabbing tragedies or calamities.

Instead, two Cabinet members, Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi and Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol, were dispatched to touch base with them and provide aid.that there was no violation of sovereignty in the Recto Bank. He failed, however, to assert the Philippines' exclusive rights to fish in the area.

Recto Bank is part of Philippine waters. The Philippines enjoys sovereign rights over the area though it has no sovereignty there. –

So that's it? IM SORRY...
