President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the two sides had reached the point of having “coordination” on fishing activities despite China’s unilateral imposition of a fishing ban in the resource-rich waterway. READ:
Since 1999, Beijing has imposed a yearly fishing ban in the vast South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea, or the parts within the country’s 370-kilometer exclusive economic zone , despite a 2016 arbitral ruling recognizing the Philippines’ sovereign right to fish and explore for resources in those waters.“When they say there will be a fishing ban in two months’ time, we can make a plan,” Marcos said.
China says the fishing ban, which lasts from May to August, is intended to promote sustainable fishing and improve marine ecology. The Philippines has repeatedly protested the imposition. The ban roughly covers waters west of Palawan’s Busuanga Island all the way north past Panatag Shoal, also called Bajo de Masinloc off Zambales.
