According to Philstar.com, China has stationed up to five ships to keep local fishermen at bay.
“Gray and white Chinese vessels have not left the atoll, which Filipino fishermen also call Jackson Five, because of the existence of five lagoons in the area.” said report.
Filipino fishermen lamented the Chinese vessels would not allow them to come near or linger in the Quirino Atoll.
Philippine air patrol has confirmed the presence of at least four Chinese coast guard ships in the Jackson lagoons.
A Palawan-based fishing operator said the Chinese began deploying ships to Quirino Atoll after a Manila-based fishing carrier boat ran aground in the area due to bad weather.
