Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday called on the Department of National Defense (DND) to take China’s Coast Guard Law seriously.

Hontiveros issued the statement after DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said that China’s new law did not concern Filipino fisherfolk because they were not armed.

Hontiveros recently expressed alarm over China’s new law which allows its Coast Guard to fire on foreign vessels that enter Beijing-claimed territories. However, Collin Koh — a researcher who focuses on maritime security in Southeast Asia and the South China Sea — said that the law does not state if “foreign vessels” are armed or not.
