“The Hasa-Hasa (Half-Moon) Shoal and Escoda (Sabina) Shoal are both legally and rightfully within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS),” giit ni Senator Loren Legarda sa isang official statement nitong Agosto 25.
“The resupply mission of BRP Datu Sanday is entirely legitimate and well within our jurisdiction and sovereign rights,” dagdag niya.
Dahil dito, sinegundahan ng four-term senator ang panawagan ng National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) sa China.
“We echo the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea’s (NTF-WPS) call on the government of the People’s Republic of China to immediately cease all provocative and dangerous actions that threaten the safety of Philippine vessels. These actions undercut regional peace and security,” sabi pa ni Legarda.
