China
has not done anything about it.
The
Philippines as a sovereign nation has just made its presence more known as the
Philippine Coast Guard completed the installation of five buoys on four
different islands in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) to mark the country’s
territorial waters and to guide mariners passing through the areas.
PCG Rear Admiral Bobby Patrimonio, commander of the
PCG Marine Environmental Protection Command, said one buoy was installed on
Likas Island, another on Parola Island, one on Lawak Island, and two on Pag-asa
Island.

“These are sovereign markers of our country,
but ang pinaka-intention lang is to guide our seafarers navigating
in that area para magkaroon ng ligtas na paglalayag (but its main
intention is to guide our seafarers navigating in that area to ensure safe
voyage),” Patrimonio said.
He noted that the buoys would also be a big help to
fishermen as the areas they mark are particularly abundant with fish.
The PCG said the buoy laying operation was
completed by its BRP Corregidor, BRP Bojeador, BRP Suluan, BRP Capones, and Tug
Boat Habagat.
The buoys mark the areas as “special protected
zones” where mining and oil exploration are prohibited to preserve its natural
resources.
“These buoys are now our source of pride and honor
in serving our great nation. And because our fellow Coast Guardians braved
numerous dangers during the said noble mission, they were able to bring the PCG
to the next level of success,” Abu said.
The PCG will add more navigational buoys in other
areas within the country’s exclusive economic zone, particularly in the WPS and
Benham Rise.
