黄岩岛貌似开始清场了

MANILA, Philippines - Chinese maritime vessels are now preventing Filipino
fishermen from entering the lagoon of Panatag Shoal, which the Philippines
claims as part of its territory.

“Our fishermen who returned to the area were barred from entering the
lagoon to fish by Chinese maritime vessels," Masinloc town Mayor Desitree
Edora said, adding that the Chinese maritime vessels are using floodlights
to drive away Filipino fishermen.

Edora’s secretary, RJ Bautista, speaking on behalf of the mayor, complained
that while Filipinos are being barred from fishing in the lagoon, the
Chinese maritime vessels are allowing Chinese fishermen to sail and fish
inside the lagoon.

Fearing for their safety, the Filipinos are now fishing outside the lagoon.

“Nasa labas na lamang sila nangingisda dahil pinagbawalan na silang pumasok
ng mga Chinese sa loob ng lagoon,” Bautista said.

The last presence of the Filipino fishermen inside the rich fishing ground
after decades of fishing in the area was last April 15, as the standoff that
started last April 10, continue to heat up.

Bautista said local fishermen returned to the area to fish last Sunday after
getting clearance from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), who assured them
of protection.

“Iniilawan sila ng mga powerful floodlights ng Chinese vessels doon sa
mouth ng lagoon, kaya natatakot silang pumasok,” Bautista said.

As of Sunday, military monitoring of the area showed that there are already
seven Chinese fishing vessels and 23 utility boats conducting destructive
fishing activities inside the lagoon.

Outside, two Chinese Maritime Surveillance ships (CMS) 75 and CMS 81 are
guarding the mouth of the lagoon with their FLEC 310 (Fisheries Law
Enforcement Command) ship pre-positioned not far away.

The Philippines, on the other hand, maintaining that the area is within the
country’s territorial domain, has deployed two vessels in the area -- the
BRP EDSA 2 of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Maritime Control Ship
3001 (MCS-3001) of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).

Maintaining a non-confrontational stance, the military leadership in
Northern Luzon said it could not comment on the issue because they don’t
have any information yet on the matter.

The Armed Forces' NOrthern Luzon Command (Nolcom), under Lt. Gen. Anthony
Alcantara, has operational jurisdiction over Panatag Shoal.

“As to that report, we have no information on that, so we cannot comment on
it,” Capt. Aurelio Kigis, Nolcom spokesman, said.
