Villena said China should respect the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas and the 2016 Arbitral Ruling and not implement its new order on June 15.'We think that Filipino fishermen who only want to make a peaceful living in WPS will ignore this,' said Villena.At the end of the protest action, the protesters tore up pictures depicting China's new regulation.
