The Philippine Coast Guard has removed the dangerous floating barrier which it said the Chinese Coast Guard placed in the southeast portion of the Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal, the PCG said on Monday night.
On X, PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela said, "the decisive action of the PCG to remove the barrier aligns with international law and the Philippines’ sovereignty over the shoal."
"It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk in BDM , which is an integral part of the Philippine national territory," he said. “Three CCG’s 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. It was reported by the Filipino fishermen that the CCG vessels usually install floating barriers whenever they monitor a large number of Filipino fishermen in the area,” PCG earlier said in a statement.
“That’s interfering with something that has been granted to us in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. If it is within our exclusive economic zone, then that is an interference in our activities," he added. "We will take all appropriate measures to protect our country’s sovereignty and the livelihood of our fisherfolk," the DFA said.
