Filipino fishermen should continue fishing in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) and not be mindful of China’s “scare tactics,” the government said, amid reports of continued Chinese harassment there.
“We do not want to give this too much attention because we know that these are all scare tactics, and the moment we raise this officially to the Chinese government, it… sort of [grants] acquiescence or recognition that they have that authority,” Jonathan Malaya, spokesperson for the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS), said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon press briefing on Monday.
