The Philippine Coast Guard on Saturday reported that they and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources were harassed by the Chinese Coast Guard while conducting food security operations at the Rozul Reef on Thursday.In its report, the PCG said their personnel and the BFAR were dropping floating aggregate devices when two CCG vessels , which were the "usual interdictors" in the resupply operation in Ayungin Shoal, arrived and started harassing Filipino fishing boats.
But they do not hesitate to prevent Filipino fishermen in enjoying our resources in the West Philippine Sea," said PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela on 24 Oras Weekend.Nevertheless, Tarriela emphasized that the Philippines response to the harassment would be restrained given the directives from the government."But again, the guidance is very clear. We don't need to escalate the tension. We just have to deal with them professionally.
