According to the report, the statement of BFAR came after the viral video of Zambales’ fishermen and Chinese alleged clash. The video was released by the senatorial candidate Neri Colmenares.
Malacañang spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the Philippines will surely protest on the allegations if it is proven.
