The National Security Council (NSC) urged fishermen in Palawan to go beyond the municipal waters and fish in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), saying it is the right of every Filipino to utilize all the natural resources in that part of the country. NSC Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya assured the northern Palawan fishermen of government support during the Northern Palawan Fisherman’s Congress on Thursday in Coron, Palawan.
