Full-scale military operations appear to be underway against Venezuela, with dozens of helicopters with the U.S. Army spotted over the capital of Caracas.
Before addressing the source of the problem in Bajo De Masinloc, it is important to highlight that there is no provisional arrangement between China and the Philippines. Filipino fishermen have historically fished peacefully in the area even before the establishment of the Chinese Coast Guard. Moreover, the guidance of the President is very clear that is to support the welfare of our ordinary Filipino fishermen because this is their livelihood.
They are not like the Chinese Maritime Militia, disguised as ordinary fishermen, who supports the bullying and provocation of the Chinese Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea. Now to respond to your question as to what is the root cause of problem in Bajo De Masinloc, I am attaching here the video of how the Chinese Coast Guard harassed our ordinary Filipino fishermen in Bajo De Masinloc. I think you can find the answer here.
I am not sure if their boss would be happy since it has become obvious that they got lazy to edit their master’s script. Their lack of effort reveals the reality that social media trolls like these accounts truly exist.
The recent incident in Bajo de Masinloc has had a significant impact on the ordinary Filipino fishermen who rely on this area for their livelihood. These fishermen, who waited for their fuel subsidies and food packs, have been greatly affected by the illegal and hostile actions of the People's Republic of China. It is crucial for all the Filipino people and our entire nation to strongly condemn such actions.
The 2016 Arbitral Award clearly established that Bajo de Masinloc is a high-tide feature within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Furthermore, it affirmed that Filipinos have traditional fishing rights in the waters of Bajo de Masinloc, which are protected by international law.
Whatever China is fighting for to illegally occupy these waters, the Filipinos need to fight for these waters because our life depends on it!
