In a section of Buliluyan Port in Palawan, a small Elf truck stopped, carrying boxes, food, and small furniture like wooden chairs, tables, as well as sacks of vegetables and other crops.Here, a man in his 40s wearing a gray hoodie and shades was busy unloading the items from the Elf truck onto the BRP Cabra, one of the vessels of the Philippine Coast Guard bound for Pag-asa Island.Pag-asa Island is located 277 kilometers away from mainland Palawan and part of the Kalayaan island group.
These vessels not only patrolled the waters but also deterred local fishermen like Asiado from fishing in certain areas.Asiado emphasized how the Chinese vessels would screen and drive them away when they attempted to fish in specific locations. He specifically shared that they used to fish in the waters surrounding Sandy Cays, but the presence of the Chinese militia and even the China Coast Guard prevented them from doing so.
