During the routine maritime patrol, the BFAR vessel noted the presence of more than 50 Filipino boats actively engaged in fishing activities within the region. In response, the BFAR vessel acknowledged each radio call and reiterated that they were conducting a routine patrol within the territorial sea of Bajo de Masinloc.
The temporary barrier “prevents Filipino Fishing Boats from entering the shoal and depriving them of their fishing and livelihood activities,” wire agency AFP quoted the Philippine coast guard and fisheries bureau as saying in a joint statement condemning its installation. “They should give it back to us because this is ours,” said Nonoy de los Reyes, 40, referring to Panatag Shoal. “They should leave this place.”
