China should be penalized following its harassment of the Philippine Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea, Senator Risa Hontiveros said. | DFernandezINQ
“Tensions are already high, but what is China doing instead? She is only getting more brazen by the day. Her shameless harassment, causing temporary blindness to Filipino crew members, should warrant a penalty. Iligal na nga ang presensya nila sa West Philippine Sea, nanakit pa sila ng kababayan natin,” she added.
The opposition senator expressed full support to the country’s Navy and Coast Guard forces as they “implement proper countermeasures against the repeated unjust and violent operations of Chinese elements in the country’s maritime zones.” “Atin ang Pilipinas at karapatan nating magdepensa sa ating teritoryo, mamamayan, at soberanya,” said Hontiveros.The senator renewed her call to Malacañang and the Department of Foreign Affairs to meet with other claimant countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and member states of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue to make sure that peace is upheld in Philippine waters.
“We need to establish an updated security framework with our partners in the region as soon as possible. Magpapatuloy ang pambabastos ng Tsina kung hindi sila napipigilan,” Hontiveros said.READ:
