President Marcos says the Philippines is not looking for trouble following the removal of a China-installed floating barrier in Scarborough Shoal.
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos on Friday said the Philippines is not looking for trouble in the West Philippine Sea following the removal of a China-installed floating barrier in Scarborough Shoal.
"Hindi tayo naghahanap ng gulo, basta't gagawin natin, patuloy nating ipapagtanggol ang Pilipinas, ang maritime territory ng Pilipinas, ang karapatan ng mga fisherman natin na mangisda doon sa mga areas kung saan sila nangingisda daang-daang taon na kaya't hindi ko maintindihan bakit nagkaganito," Marcos said.
After the Philippine Coast Guard removed the 300-meter-long barrier in Scarborough Shoal upon instructions from Marcos, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Wenbin urged the PhilippinesScarborough Shoal, locally known as Bajo de Masinloc, is a U-shaped rocky outcrop teeming with marine resources. China seized it from Manila in 2012 following a two-month standoff, triggering an arbitration complaint by Manila 10 years ago.
Philippine officials had called China's installation of the barrier a violation of international law and the country's sovereignty.
