Philippine authorities announced on 31 March that many of the Chinese fishing vessels that have been moored for weeks near the disputed Whitsun Reef in the Spratly Islands have dispersed to other areas in the South China Sea (SCS) that are also claimed by Manila.
The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) in Manila expressed “deep concern” over what it described as “the continuing unlawful presence (swarming) of the Chinese maritime militia (CMM), which did not pull out and have remained in Julian Felipe (Whitsun) Reef and are now in other areas of the Kalayaan Island Group in the Municipality of Kalayaan, Palawan”.
