The group said China has built a "triangle militarized zone" from Fiery Cross Reef to Subi Reef and Mischief Reef, where even the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) also has difficulty passing through.
"We have lost to China the heart of the Kalayaan Island Group Municipality through their triangle militarized zone," the group said. "Inside this triangle, are the other military bases that China has built."
additional that China "is walking the talk when it declared that it will not heed to whatever will be the result of the ongoing arbitration and will continue to militarize the West Philippine Sea and do whatever they want because they claim that it belongs to them."
"Our fishermen too cannot fish in this fishing grounds. In fact, in the entire West Philippine Sea, we have lost its value as a fishing ground to China," they said.
