WPS civilian mission 'victorious' despite Chinese vessels presence

Atin Ito on Friday claimed "victory" in its civilian mission to the West Philippine Sea as it ended "generally peaceful" despite the presence of Chinese vessels in the area. The group made the statement after around 100 boats carrying the participants safely returned to the Subic fishport in Zamabales.

Meanwhile, the main convoy of the civilian mission no longer proceeded to Panatag Shoal because Chinese vessels already drove away the fishermen who were supposed to receive another round of supplies there."Our boat captains got report na wala na raw mga Pinoy na mangingisda sa Bajo de Masinloc ngayon kasi pinapaalis sila ng mga Chinese Coast Guard, militia, at iba pang mga marine vessels," one of the organizers, Emman Hizon, told GMA News Online in a phone interview.
