The government should look for and investigate other Chinese dredging vessels operating illegally in Philippine waters following the seizure of the 2,340-ton MV Zhonhai 68 off Bataan and Bulacan provinces by authorities last week for “illegal and unauthorized presence” in the country. Bayan Muna chair Neri Colmenares said he took photos of the dredger, which was with another Chinese vessel, while filming a documentary in Zambales province in February 2019.
