CREWMEN of Chinese fishing boats that entered the Ayungin Reef on the
Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) in Palawan have allegedly been unloading big
ropes and metal structures.
“There are five to eight Chinese fishing boats that entered and are
conducting surveys inside our Ayungin Reef. Our latest report is that the
Chinese were unloading big ropes and planting metal structures on our reef,
” a military officer who spoke in condition of anonymity because he is not
authorized to speak on the matter said.
The intrusion was happening as the military leadership was on their second
day of a “battle staff” meeting in Camp Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in Quezon
City.
Brig. Gen. Domingo Tutaan Jr., Armed Forces spokesman, did not confirm or
deny the intrusion and illegal activities of the Chinese on Ayungin Reef.
The reported activities of the intruders were happening amid calls by the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on China not to fish on Philippine
waters.
The KIG is composed of the islands of Pagasa, Likas, Parola, Lawak, Kota,
Patag and Panta, and three reefs called Rizal, Balagtas and Ayungin. The
islands and reefs have been constituted as the Municipality of Kalayaan in
Palawan. |
