The Philippine Air Force on Sunday said it will continue to monitor the West Philippine Sea as China starts implementing a policy that would allow the China Coast Guard to detain "foreign trespassers" in the South China Sea .Interviewed on Super Radyo dzBB, PAF spokesperson Colonel Maria Consuelo Castillo said that conducting maritime patrols over the Philippines’ territorial waters and the features within its exclusive economic zone is inherent in the duties of the country’s air force.
“China's so-called anti-trespassing policy undermines the rule of law and international norms that govern maritime conduct. The presence and actions of its vessels in our waters are illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive,” the AFP stated.Even the Philippine Coast Guard stood firm on the Philippines’ position that China’s anti-trespassing policy in the South China Sea, which overlaps with the country’s exclusive economic zone, has no basis.
