Further, Yasay said that there will be no talks with China unless the talks will be within the conditions of the framework of the arbitral tribunal. The Hague decision in July is still being ignored by China to date. However, Yasay made it clear that the Philippines will only engage in peaceful and diplomatic actions and will stay clear of violent reactions; he added that maximum tolerance will be practiced.
Yasay said, they want to make sure of the safety of the Filipino fishermen which are the most affected of the disputes.
While our fishermen respects Chinese and Vietnamese fishing grounds China claims most of the South China Sea. It has reclaimed reefs and built airstrips capable of hosting military equipment, sparking anger from competing claimants led by Vietnam and the Philippines. This is the reason why the Philippines want to have finality on the issue so both countries will have a win win situation.
Meanwhile, China’s behavior in the sea have gotten criticism from the US and says that they will seek to make sure that freedom of navigation in the waterways will not be abused or hindered from.
