Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio cautioned President Duterte on Wednesday, June 26, that allowing Chinese fishermen to fish in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) is against the Constitution.

Carpio cited a constitutional provision which states that “the State shall protect the nation’s marine wealth in its exclusive economic zone, and reserve its use and enjoyment exclusively to Filipino citizens.”

This also means that the ‘use and enjoyment’ of the fish in our EEZ is reserved exclusively to Filipinos.” Carpio’s statement was issued after Malacanang had said it will allow Chinese fishermen to fish in the WPS because they are “friends.”
