The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) discovered a 300-meter floating barrier at the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc Shoal during their routine maritime patrol last September 22, 2023.

PCG said 4 China Coast Guard vessels initiated a series of 15 radio challenges in an attempt to drive away the BFAR vessels and Filipino fishing boats.

Meanwhile, Commodore Jay Tarriela also confirmed that they /”captured on camera/” that China deployed floating barriers in the area and that it was placed there to /”prevent/” Filipino fishermen from entering the shoal.
