    Amid WPS tension, Zambales fishers receive 'Payao' donation
    Aglibot, Joanna Rose (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2024-10-02)
    Some fishermen here were dismayed after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., during his third State of the Nation Address (Sona), failed to mention his plans for fishermen whose lives were affected by the presence of the Chinese Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea (WPS). In a telephone interview on Monday, Leonardo Cuaresma, president of the New Masinloc Fishermen Association, acknowledged the President’s efforts to pay tribute to Filipino fishermen and soldiers guarding the WPS.

    Sadongdong, Martin A. (Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, 2022-03-25)
    There is an increasing number of Filipino fishermen who are casting their nets in Bajo de Masinloc, Zambales to earn a living despite the steady presence of China Coast Guard (CCG), the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said Friday, March 25. “The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has confirmed the increasing presence of Filipino fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc, Zambales,” said Admiral Artemio Abu, PCG commandant, in a statement. Bajo de Masinloc, also known as Scarborough Shoal and Panatag Shoal, is located 124 nautical miles west of Zambales, and is within the country’s 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

    Palace: No Du30-Xi fishing pact; Sino 'swarm' remains
    Salaverria, Leila B.; Ramos, Marlon; Cabalza, Dexter (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2021-04-24)
    Malacañang on Friday denied that there was a “verbal fishing agreement” between President Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping just days after Manila filed two more diplomatic protests against the continued presence of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea. The denial also comes after former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio pointed to a statement by Duterte himself that he had a “verbal agreement” with Xi in 2016 to allow the Chinese to fish in Philippine waters. “There is no truth to the speculation of a purported ‘verbal fishing agreement’ between President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and President Xi Jin Ping, nor that Chinese vessels were encouraged to stay in West Philippine Sea despite the diplomatic protests and strongly worded statements of Philippine government officials,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

    Zambales folk: Sino boats depleting our fish catch
    Aglibot, Joanna Rose; Cabalza, Dexter; Ocampo, Karl R. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2021-04-16)
    Fishermen on Friday said at least 20 Chinese vessels have been anchored about 111 kilometers off San Antonio town in Zambales province since January and they blamed the mysterious nocturnal activities of the ships for their dwindling catch. “When we’re fishing at night, we could hear a loud sound underneath the waters near the area where these foreign ships are staying. They are disturbing our fishing ground,” said Jefrey Melchor, one of the fishermen who complained about the diminishing amount of fish and squid they were able to haul in daily.

    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.

    Back to the 'boro'
    Robles, Jojo A. (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2016-10-31)
    The “boro,” as Filipino fishermen call it, is back. And hundreds of them have happily returned to their old, rich fishing grounds, coming home with their outrigger boats groaning with the weight of their bountiful catch. “Boro” is what the subsistence fishermen from Bataan to Ilocos call Scarborough Shoal, also known by its local names of Bajo de Masinloc and Panatag. This is the outcrop of rock surrounding a shallow lagoon more than 200 kilometers from the coast of Luzon to the west, where all manner of fish spawn, live and easily get caught. The return of Filipino fishermen to Scarborough also signals the thawing of our frozen relations with the Chinese. And the best part is, there isn’t even any bilateral agreement that covers the return of the fishermen
