The UN tribunal ruling is a gain for the country to assert our claims for the Philippine waters which is in the region of the China Sea, which is also our fishing grounds and the source for building our economy.
The recent situation where a UN Naval under water drone was seized by the Chinese naval vessel located just 50 miles off of Subic bay is a sign that we are being abused of our own territory. the reason why they are there at that distance must be questioned.
The location is in the international waters,and the acts of China is an indicator that somewhere in the near future we can be further violated and deprived of our sovereignty .
The recent statement of d30 is another thing to be feared of, where if that statement that we will set aside the UN ruling, and we will not protest such incursions, the future will then be risky for us. The situation will turn someday that these waters will permanently belong to them, and our rights for enjoying the resources of these rich fishing grounds will no longer be entitled for us.
There should be formality and words of opposition and protest and bring the matter further to the UN attention.
Though we do not seek confrontation and conflict, we need to establish the ground that we should send words to China and post complaint in the UN, which is the right thing to do.
Another thing that should be taken focus and attention by the government is the continued assertion of our country to go fishing in those grounds and maintain our presence.
to bring forth coast guard vessels there is just routine and standard for our government instead of letting the situation be under the control of the Chinese Vessels.
Though we don't seek war, our presence shall be that constant to make them aware and informed that we are not forsaking the territory, but continually posses them for the benefit of our fishermen.
Another is the continued build up of our naval industries and manufacturing to increase our ships to make a routine surveillance 24/7 made by our increasing numbers of naval ships.
The shipbuilding industry must be modernized and used fo the advantage of our navyt and the military. We cannot be present there in the WPS if we only 10 naval ships at the moment.
The jobs, employment, foreign savings, and increasing of our GDP and per capita income is the object of creating a strong shipbuilding industry in the country.
