00:00 The Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs says it was, quote, "China that is intruding
00:05 into Philippine waters."
00:07 This days after China's Southern Theater Command claimed a Philippine Navy vessel intruded
00:11 in waters near Bajo de Masinlok in the West Philippine Sea.
00:15 In a statement, the DFA says Bajo de Masinlok is, quote, "an integral part of the Philippine
00:19 territory and over which the Philippines has sovereignty and jurisdiction."
00:23 The shoal is considered a common fishing ground for Filipino, Chinese, and Vietnamese, which
00:28 means no country should be barring small-scale fishing in the area.
00:31 The DFA adds the Philippines' maritime patrols in its waters are a legitimate act, adding
00:36 there is no obligation for the nation to seek the approval of another to navigate the area.
00:41 In September 2023, China barred Filipino fishermen from entering Bajo de Masinlok by installing
00:47 floating barriers.
