The Philippines has vowed to take ‘appropriate actions’ to protect the rights of its fishermen.
Manila says Beijing usually installs barriers when they monitor a large number of fishermen in the South China Sea.
Manila yesterday shared images of a floating barrier blocking fishing vessel access in the Scarborough Shoal with Chinese coast guard ships nearby, and said it would protect the rights of its fishermen. “The placement by the People’s Republic of China of a barrier violates the traditional fishing rights of our fishermen,” he added.
Beijing seized the Scarborough Shoal in 2012 and forced fishermen from the Philippines to travel further for smaller catches.
