National Security Adviser Eduardo M. Año on Monday condemned the latest Chinese effort to block Filipino fishermen from fishing in Bajo De Masinloc , and emphasized that the Philippine government will take the necessary action to remove these floating barriers.
“It [2016 Arbitral Ruling] ruled categorically that such action by the PRC violated the traditional fishing rights of our fishermen in the shoal who have been fishing there for centuries. Any State that prevents them from doing artisanal fishing there violates UNCLOS and international law, in general,” the NSA stressed.
It was also learned that three CCG rigid hull inflatable boats and Chinese Maritime Militia’s service boat installed the floating barrier upon arrival of the BFAR vessel in the vicinity of the shoal. “China’s reported installation of barriers and its negative impact on the livelihood of Filipino fisherfolk or any other activity that infringes upon the Philippines’ sovereignty and jurisdiction in Bajo de Masinloc are violations of international law, particularly UNCLOS and the Arbitral Award,” Teresita Daza, the DFA added in a statement.
