In an interview over radio dzBB yesterday, Tropical Fish Gatherer Association (San Salvador, Masinloc, Zambales) president Joeffrey Elad expressed hope that talks between the two leaders will benefit fishermen currently experiencing bullying from Chinese ships.
"We hope that our plight was really discussed and there will be good changes in what we experience (in Scarborough Shoal). We are scheduled to return (to Bajo de Masinloc today); we will be able to determine if there are indeed changes in Scarborough Shoal, if indeed, (Marcos and Xi's) meeting was smooth," Elad said.
During their meeting, Marcos told Xi that Filipino fishermen should have access to fishing grounds in the South China Sea, where they again reaffirmed commitment to dialogue, but admitted that challenges remain.
Elad said that one of the two fishing boats that returned from Panatag Shoal went home with a few fish caught amid harassment from the Chinese.
"Last Nov. 13, we arrived from Scarborough. The mother boat had caught a lot of fish, but the other boat managed to bring home very limited catch as (fishermen) were tailed by a patrol boat from China. They were not able to fish properly," he added.
