Amid China's latest muscle-flexing in the disputed Panatag(Scarborough) Shoal area, Philippine fishery agency is not keen onresponding in kind by lifting its own fishing ban in the area. Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources head Asis Perez onThursday said the Philippine ban is also meant to ensure the safetyof fishermen in the area, as the monsoon may generate strong windsand big waves at this time of year.

Angmangingisda natin maliit ang bangka nila, " Perez said in an interview on dzBB radio. Earlier this week, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) saidChina appears to be flexing its maritime muscle by keeping 21vessels and 76 other smaller boats at the disputed shoal. It cited a Philippine Coast Guard report showing China has fiveChinese government vessels in the shoal, along with 16 Chinesefishing boats, 10 of which were inside the lagoon while six wereoutside. DFA spokesman Raul Hernandez said the increase in the number ofChina"s vessels in the area "imperils marinebiodiversity in the shoal and threatens the marine ecosystem in thewhole of the West Philippine Sea." The shoal has been the site of a month-long standoff between thePhilippines and China, which began when Philippine authoritiesspotted several Chinese fishermen poaching in the shoal. But before a Philippine Navy crew could make arrests, Chinesevessels blocked the Philippine vessel's path. IPL Laser Machine

Ang pinakamaramingmangingisda doon ay lima hanggang anim na bangka on a given day," Perez said in an earlier interview on GMA's"News To Go." " Kung magkakaroon man ng epekto 'di ganoon kalaki (If there will be any impact, it won't be that big)," headded.
