Edgard Arevalo, AFP spokesperson, said the military has coordinated with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and the Philippine National Police’s Maritime Group (PNP-MG) to conduct coordinated patrols in WPS. “Kung hindi humihinto ang Tsina sa kanyang ginagawang illegal na pangingisda, kasi sabi nila fishing vessels sila, doon sa ating exclusive economic zone na meron tayong tinatawag na exclusive economic right, ay hindi rin po titigil ang inyong armed forces sa ating ginagawang pagpapatrol (If China won’t stop from its illegal fishing activities, since they said these were fishing vessels, in our exclusive economic zone where we have exclusive economic right, your armed forces will also not stop conducting our patrols),” Arevalo said in a radio interview over DZBB.
