Netizens couldn’t get over after Senate President Tito Sotto floated the idea it’s difficult to ban other nationalities like China from fishing in the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) because some fishes may come from China.
“It’s very difficult to say that there’s exclusivity when it’s underwater,” Sotto said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Sotto adds that it may be difficult to determine if fishes will come from China.
“The fish could be coming from China, and the fish from the Philippines could be going to China if we want to be technical about it and relate it to the constitutionality of what should be owned by us,” he added.
Malacanang Events and Catering Services Facebook page posted a photo of an immigration ship that will determine the nationality of fishes in the ocean.
Itama ang Mali facebook account shared a comparison of Filipino and Chinese fish.
