    Excerpt
    The clashing claims of the Philippines and China in the South China Sea, particularly in the 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Philippines which we have renamed West Philippine Sea, continues to dominate public discussions. In his State of the Nation Address (SONA) last Monday, President Duterte reiterated that he has an agreement with China President Xi Jinping allowing Filipinos and Chinese to fish in the disputed waters. He cited the ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague allowing fishermen of various nations to fish at Panatag which is within our EEZ, as it is a traditional fishing ground. “The Vietnamese, the Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, even Koreans, and Filipinos, Malaysians, and Indonesians – they can also fish because they have always been there,” Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said after critics questioned the President’s verbal agreement with China, insisting that only Filipinos should be allowed to fish in the Philippine EEZ.
