Description:
- China's fishermen can stay in disputed waters off Pag-asa Island, but not paramilitary forces, Malacañang said Tuesday. The military last week expressed concern over hundreds of Chinese vessels that have been almost stationary near the island since January. The vessels are considered as "maritime militia", which sustains Beijing’s "assertive presence" in the area, said LTC Elpidio Factor of the Western Command.
