Chinese President Xi Jinping has promised to “find a compromise and find a solution” that will allow Filipinos to fish again in their “natural” fishing grounds in the WPS where China and the PH could also conduct joint oil exploration, Marcos Jr. said.
Its coast guard and its maritime militia have been constantly chasing Filipino fishermen away from their traditional fishing grounds within the Philippines’ EEZ.
“The purpose of transparency is for us to know if the agreement is compliant with our Constitution,” he said.“It is key to gain the support and confidence of the Filipino people and erase any doubts that the government is compromising and giving up our rights over the West Philippine Sea,” Pimentel said.
In a joint statement on Thursday, Marcos and Xi announced that their governments had signed 14 agreements, including the establishment of a “direct communication mechanism” between their foreign ministries to prevent “miscommunication and miscalculation” in the event of a maritime dispute. “I want to raise the level of discussion to a ministerial level and with the direct access of both Presidents. The intention of course is to minimize all of these ‘incidents,’” he said. “Definitely when lines of communication are open, President Xi and I could decide faster, and maybe the problems would be lessened.”
“The setting up of a hotline is an important development but at this point, it is already just symbolic as the two sides have had mechanisms in place already if emergencies do occur,” said Julio Amador III, president for the Foundation for National Interest. They reaffirmed commitments to an “early conclusion” of the discussions on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea within a “mutually agreed timeline.”
