The Philippines condemns China's installation of floating barriers in Scarborough Shoal, assuring safety and security of Filipino fishermen doing their livelihood in their territory
MANILA, Philippines – The Chinese Coast Guard has installed a 300-meter floating barrier in the Southeast portion of Bajo de Masinloc , or Scarborough Shoal, blocking Filipino fishermen from fishing in the area, Philippine Coast Guard spokesman Jay Tarriela said on Sunday, September 24.
Tarriela added that CCG would always install floating barriers whenever they see a “large number of Filipino fishermen in the area,” as relayed to PCG by the Filipino fishermen there.While some 50 Filipino Fishing Boats were fishing in Scarborough Shoal, four CCG vessels initiated a series of 15 radio challenges in an attempt to drive away the BFAR vessel and FFBs, Tarriela said.
The PCG and BFAR condemned China’s installation of floating barriers in Scarborough Shoal, assuring safety and security of Filipino fishermen doing their livelihood in Philippine territory. AFP Western Command chief Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos disclosed this in a press briefing on September 16. He said that they would increase military presence in the Philippine territory due to the resurgence of Chinese vessels swarming around the area and the massive harvesting of corals.
