MANILA, Philippines – Aboard a small boat and with knives in hand, personnel from the Philippine Coast Guard on Monday, September 25, carried out a “” to remove a floating barrier placed by the Chinese Coast Guard at the opening of Bajo de Masinloc or Panatag Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
China’s actions meant that Filipino fisherfolk – some 50 boats were just outside the shoal when the barrier was placed – “The barrier posed a hazard to navigation, a clear violation of international law. It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk in BDM, which is an integral part of the Philippine national territory. The 2016 Arbitral Award has affirmed that BDM is the traditional fishing ground of Filipino fishermen. Thus, any obstruction hindering the livelihoods of Filipino fisherfolk in the shoal violates the international law,” Tarriela said in the same post.
The BFAR and PCG personnel were bringing with them gas, food, and other provisions for the Filipino fisherfolk out at sea.
