Zambales Fishermen,China,South China Sea

Masinloc fishermen stood firm that they will continue fishing in the West Philippine Sea despite China’s regulation of detaining foreign nationals “trespassing” in the South China Sea.

The New Masinloc Fishermen Association on Sunday stood firm that they will continue fishing in the West Philippine Sea despite China ’s regulation of detaining any foreign nationals “trespassing” in the South China Sea.Interviewed on Super Radyo dzBB, Leonardo Cuaresma, president of the Zambales-based association, condemned China 's threats to jail WPS trespassers, saying that Filipino fishermen know that they are only fishing in the Philippine territory.

China's expansive claims over most of the South China Sea overlap with the West Philippine Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal which is located 124 nautical miles west of Zambales and within the Philippines' 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone .Despite this, the New Masinloc Fishermen Association said they will continue doing their work and warned China to “get ready” if ever a Filipino fisherman gets arrested.
