Chinese Coast Guard drives off local fishermen
Excerpt
Weeks after the Philippines reached an “agreement” with China, the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) allegedly drove off Filipino fisherfolk from the Ayungin Shoal, part of the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) saying Friday they would speak with the locals involved in the incident to get a “clear picture” of what transpired. In a television report by Ian Cruz on GMA News’ “24 Oras,” a video showed a CCG vessel 5204 and a speed boat allegedly driving the fishermen away.
