Coast Guard duty: interdict Chinese militia, escort Filipinos
Excerpt
It’s time to interdict Chinese poachers in the Philippines’ western exclusive economic zone. About 240 trawlers are pillaging Pagkakaisa (Union) Bank and Kalayaan Islands municipality of Palawan. Millions of kilos of seafood, including endangered species, are hauled off. Filipinos are being driven away from their rightful fishing grounds. The Chinese embassy ignores diplomatic protests, abets the thievery and badmouths defense officials. Stern law enforcement is called for.
