Defining the News

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines on Sunday called on the government to provide protection to Filipino fishermen in the face of China’s aggressive behavior in the disputed maritime territories in the West Philippine Sea.

The PCG said that two China Coast Guard vessels tried to prevent BRP Sindangan from conducting a rescue operation even after they were informed of the emergency. The IBP stressed that it stands with Filipino fishermen “who are only exercising their right to a livelihood inside our own Exclusive Economic Zone .”

The IBP further said that the EEZ includes the Bajo de Masinloc, also known as Scarborough Shoal, which is 120 miles from Zambales and 196 miles from Palawan.
