Pamalakaya stands against China’s proposed partnership with local fishing villages
A Filipino fisherfolk group has rejected a reported partnership proposal from China with local fishing villages, citing potential harm to Filipino fishermen.
The fisherfolk organization, Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya), stated that no benefits could arise from such an agreement due to China's alleged aggression in the West Philippine Sea.
National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos had previously mentioned China's proposal as a potential measure to foster peace in the disputed waters.
Pamalakaya emphasized that Filipino fishers, who have experienced harassment from China, would not accept any agreement with the Chinese government.
