Mga mangingisda, hindi dapat matakot sa fishing ban ng China – AFP

Hinikayat ng hukbong Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas ang mga Pilipinong mangingisda na ipagpatuloy lang ang kanilang ginagawang kabuhayan.

Ito’y kasunod ng panibagong pahayag ng China na magpapatupad sila ng fishing ban sa mga pinag-aagawang teritoryo sa West Philippine Sea (WPS).

Sa 1 pulong balitaan araw ng miyerkules, sinabi ni Commodore Roy Vincent Trinidad tagapagsalita ng Philippine Navy for West Philippine Sea na nakahanda ang buong Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) upang protektahan ang mga Pilipinong mangingisda.

“Sa ating mga kababayan na nangingisda lalong-lalo na sa Bajo De Masinloc i would like to say that the Philippine Navy and the entire armed forces is fully supportive of your actions of your livelihood which has been a traditional source of income wag kayong matakot magpatuloy lamang kayo at at ang AFP at ang entire government is behind you,” ayon kay WPS, Spokesperson Comm. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

Ayon sa opisyal lahat ng ginagawa ng naturang bansa ay iligal at pawang pananakot lang.

“All the actions of China which is an implementation of coast guard law which could effect 01 february 2021 are illegal they are against the international law our commander in chief said they are all unacceptable the snd says they are provocative china is out of tune China is out of their minds,” dagdag pa ni WPS, Spokesperson Comm. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

Dagdag pa ni Trinidad na wala pa aniyang mangingisdang Pilipino o maging ng ibang bansa ang nahuli magmula noong inilabas ng China ang pahayag na huhulihin nila ang mga papasok sa kanilang teritoryo.

“The pronouncement of china started in 2021 when the law was passed the issue there is the pronouncement and i did not come to across that it was implemented,” saad pa ni WPS, Spokesperson Comm. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

“Yes i have not come across any report not only Filipino Fishermen but also other maritime asian fishermen like coming from Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam,” ayon pa kay WPS, Spokesperson Comm. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

Dahil aniya dito ay mas nagiging pursigido ang AFP na gampanan ang kanilang tungkulin na protektahan ang soberanya ng Pilipinas at ang mga Pilipino.

“All actions of China that would threaten our national sovereignty our teritorial integrity and the welfare of the Filipino people will always serve to strengthen the Philippine Navy’s and the AFP’s resolve to perform its mandate this is further serve a unifying call not for the entire armed forces but for all Filipinos as well,” ani WPS, Spokesperson Comm. Roy Vincent Trinidad.

Sa huli binigyang diin ni Col. Francel Margareth Padilla tagapagsalita ng AFP na naaayon sa batas ang lahat ng ginagawang hakbang ng Pilipinas upang maresolba ang gusot sa mga pinag-aagawang teritoryo sa West Philippine Sea.

“We would like to emphasize that our actions are grounded with legal principles ang being filipinos peaceful advocacy aiming to resolve our desputes diplomatic chanels,” saad naman ni AFP, Col. Francel Margareth Padilla.
