For the first time, the Philippines and China have made use of the newly-established communication mechanism to tackle the recent beaming of military-grade laser light by the Chinese Coast Guard to a Philippine Coast Guard vessel in Ayungin Shoal.Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Ma. Teresita Daza revealed that China has called the Philippines on Feb. 14 to talk about the “urgent” issue.
“Tumawag po sila, ginamit ho yung direct mechanism at ang nangyari po, as expected, ni-narrate nila yung position nila. Sa atin naman, ni-narrate din po natin na anong nangyari at how we considered the incident as aggressive, and also as threatening. So we hope that this does not actually continue,” Daza said.
According to Daza, it is also a part of the Philippine-China memorandum of understanding on strengthening cooperation in 2017. “Pero kapag po ang teritoryo n’yo, yung vessels n’yo, at saka yung crew na are placed in danger, for example, our fisherfolk cannot actually fish in the waters, e iba naman pong usapan ‘yan. Kaya nga po ngayon, nagsasabi kami , we welcome different forms of engagement, in addition to what is already existing,” she added.
