The 20-boat fishing expedition by Zambales fisherfolk in the West Philippine Sea ended “safely” despite the unilateral fishing ban of China, fishers group PAMALAKAYA said on Friday. PAMALAKAYA Zambales coordinator Joey Marabe told GMA News Online that the participating boats have returned to the shore safely. “Matagumpay pong nagawa ang sama-samang pangingisda at nakabalik sa dalampasigan,” Arabe said in a message.
Manila said it does not recognize China’s May 1 to September 16 fishing moratorium because it included Manila's maritime zones over which the Philippines has sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction."The Philippines called on China to cease and desist from the conduct of illegal actions that violate the Philippines' sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in its maritime zones," the DFA said in a statement.
