The Philippine Coast Guard on Sunday stood firm the Escoda Shoal is located within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone based on international law and has the right to operate there despite China’s claims to the contrary. PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela issued the statement after the Chinese Foreign Ministry said it lodged a formal protest over the presence of the PCG vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua at Escoda Shoal .
”Tarriela, in return, slammed the ministry’s statement, saying that China should stop citing the 2002 declaration “as they have not honored or followed a single provision of that declaration.”“As far as the region is concerned, it is only Beijing that constantly violates this declaration. They have been deploying their large Coast Guard vessels there, complemented by their numerous Chinese Maritime Militia,” the PCG commodore said.
