    PCG removes floating barrier in Bajo de Masinloc
    Sadongdong, Martin (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2023-09-27)
    The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), on orders of President Mrcos, removed the floating barrier installed by China in Bajo de Masinloc, also known as Scarborough or Panatag Shoal, near Zambales. National Task Force for West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) Chairman and National Security Adviser Eduardo Año instructed the PCG to execute a "special operation" to remove the floating barrier which obstructed the southeast entrance of Bajo de Masinloc and prevented Filipino fishermen from entering the shoal.

    Go after other illegal Chinese dredgers, gov't urged
    Corrales, Nestor; Santos, Tina G.; Subingsubing, Krixia (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2021-01-31)
    The government should look for and investigate other Chinese dredging vessels operating illegally in Philippine waters following the seizure of the 2,340-ton MV Zhonhai 68 off Bataan and Bulacan provinces by authorities last week for “illegal and unauthorized presence” in the country. Bayan Muna chair Neri Colmenares said he took photos of the dredger, which was with another Chinese vessel, while filming a documentary in Zambales province in February 2019.

    Davao plans for stronger fishery law enforcement
    Padillo, Maya M. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2015-11-30)
    The City Agriculturist Office (CAO) is seeking a P3-million budget to strengthen the implementation of national and local fishery laws intended to protect marine and coastal resources. The project will involve closer coordination among the Barangay Fishery Law Enforcement Team, police-maritime group, the Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Region 11, the councils of the city’s coastal barangays, and the Barangay Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils. Rocelio T. Tabay, CAO assistant department head, said the project, which is part of the Fishery Resource Management Program, will help deter resource destruction and degradation. The Fisheries Code of the Philippines was amended in February through Republic Act 8550 while the city enforces its Comprehensive Fisheries Code passed in 2008.

    What exactly did we win? ask fishermen
    Macatuno, Allan; Cardinoza, Gabriel (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-07-14)
    Like most fishermen in the seaside village of Cato here, Joseph Daroca was not aware that the Philippines had filed a case against China over the maritime dispute in the West Philippine Sea. When told that the UN-backed Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague had ruled that the Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal was part of the Philippines, Daroca’s face lit up. “It’s good if that’s the case,” said Daroca, 44. He had stopped joining fishing trips to the shoal since January last year after their boat was driven away by the Chinese Coast Guard.
