The government on Tuesday said it summoned a senior Chinese Embassy official back in April to protest the harassment of a Philippine research in the West Philippine Sea, and rejected a unilateral fishing ban declared by Beijing in waters where the Philippines exercises sovereign rights and jurisdiction.
“The detailed reports of these activities are being reviewed for the filing of appropriate diplomatic action,” the department said.ADVERTISEMENT“The Department summoned a senior official of the Chinese Embassy in Manila to protest the harassment by CCG on RV Legend, which had been conducting an authorized marine scientific research activity, with Philippine scientists on board,” the DFA said.
Taipei responded on March 25 by dispatching its own coast guard vessel from Taiwan-occupied Pratas Island. The DFA confirmed the “presence of foreign coast guard vessels” around Reed Bank and in the vicinity of the Philippine-approved activities around Service Contracts No. 75 and 72. “In a diplomatic note dated 30 May 2022, the DFA conveyed its protest to the moratorium, which covers areas in the West Philippine Sea over which the Philippines has sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction,” the DFA said.
The United Nations-backed Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Netherlands, which ruled in favor of the Philippines, also upheld the traditional and legitimate fishing rights of Filipino fishermen.
