We won’t give up WPS claim, Palace assures
Malacañang reiterated that the government will not give up even a single inch of the country’s territory, including its claims in the disputed portions of the South China Sea.
In his Monday presser, Roque reassured the public that the Philippines will not give up on the West Philippine Sea. Last week, the Department of Foreign Affairs filed a diplomatic protest against China for its illicit issuance of radio challenges at aircraft conducting regular maritime patrols in the West Philippine Sea. The DFA likewise protested China’s confiscation of Filipino fishermen’s aggregating devices in Bajo de Masinloc, also known as Scarborough Shoal.
“Diyan po sa Bajo de Masinloc malinaw po lahat tayo pupwede mangisda… ‘yan naman po ay kinikilala ng lahat ,” he said.
