China has put up a floating marker which also serves as a barrier in Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough or Panatag Shoal) near Zambales, raising the tension once more in an area that is located within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) revealed this on Sunday, Sept. 24, as it condemned, along with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), the move since it “prevents Filipino Fishing Boats (FFBs) from entering the shoal and depriving them of their fishing and livelihood activities.” (Video Courtesy of Philippine Coast Guard)
