MANILA, Philippines —Ipinatawag nitong Huwebes ng Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ang Deputy Chief of Mission ng Chinese Embassy na si Zhou Zhiyong dahil muling paggamit ng water cannon ngz China laban sa mga barkong Pilipino sa Scarborough Shoal.

Nagsasagawa ng routine at regular na humanitarian mission sa Bajo de Masinloc noong Abril 30 ang barko ng Pilipinas nang bombahin ng water cannon.

Ayon kay DFA Spokesperson Teresita Daza, ipinoprotesta ng Pilipinas ang panggigipit, ramming, pagsunod, pagharang, mapanganib na pag-maneuvers, paggamit ng water cannons at iba pang agresibong aksyon ng mga barko ng China Coast Guard at Chinese Maritime Militia laban sa mga sasakyang pandagat ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) at Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

Ang mga agresibong aksyon aniya ng China, partikular ang paggamit nito ng water cannon, ay nagdulot ng pinsala sa mga sasakyang pandagat ng PCG at BFAR.

Ayon kay Daza, hiniling ng Pilipinas na umalis kaagad ang mga sasakyang pandagat ng China sa Bajo de Masinloc at sa paligid nito.

Bukod sa pagpapaputok ng water cannon, sinabi ng PCG na naglagay din ang China ng 380-meter ­floating barrier na tumatakip sa entrance ng ­Scarborough Shoal.
