It was “mission accomplished” for the civilian group “Atin Ito” following its successful delivery of supplies, including fuel and food packs, to the fisherfolk in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) notwithstanding the blocking attempts by large Chinese vessels. The group’s spokesperson, Emman Hizon, said the mission scored a “major victory” on 15 May after they were able to advance to the vicinity of Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal or Bajo de Masinloc and provide the 670 fishermen there with 6,000 liters of fuel and a thousand food packs despite the nagging threat.
