“Maliwanag na maliwanag po iyong 2016 arbitral ruling kung saan itong Scarborough Shoal ay may karapatan ang ating mga mangingisdang makapagpangisda diyan ever since mula pa centuries ago,” Malaya said.“Maliwag po ang international law diyan, ang UNCLOS diyan at may karapatan ang ating bansa na tanggalin iyang nilagay ng Chinese Coast Guard,” he added.
The National Security Council said Monday the Philippines has rights to remove the floating barrier allegedly installed by China in Scarborough Shoal.
“Maliwag po ang international law diyan, ang UNCLOS diyan at may karapatan ang ating bansa na tanggalin iyang nilagay ng Chinese Coast Guard,” he added. “I would like to request our PCG to immediately cut and remove all these illegal structures located at our West Philippine Sea not just to assert our sovereign rights to the area but to protect our fishermen from any possible accidents that may arise from these illegal structures,” Zubiri said.
