The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea is aware of reports regarding the alleged presence of a new structure at Bajo de Masinloc.

Relevant government agencies are currently undertaking verification and validation measures to establish the accuracy, nature, and circumstances surrounding these reports, utilizing available monitoring, surveillance, and operational assessment mechanisms.

The Philippine Government takes seriously any development that may affect the countryโ€™s sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. The NTF-WPS is closely coordinating with concerned agencies to ensure a comprehensive and fact-based assessment of the situation.

While verification efforts are ongoing, we underscore the importance of avoiding speculation and, instead, rely on information released through official government channels only.

The Philippines remains steadfast in protecting its national interests, defending its lawful maritime entitlements, and upholding the rules-based international order consistent with international law, particularly the 1982 UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award.

Further updates will be provided once the verification process has been completed and the facts have been firmly established. # # #

The National Security Council pays tribute to our Filipino fisherfolk, one of the major pillars of Philippine society.

As steadfast guardians of our food and economic security, they sustain the nationโ€™s fish supply, with fishing communities serving as a primary source of livelihood for millions of Filipino families. As champions of our maritime rights and heritage, they serve on the frontlines of preserving our traditional fishing grounds and play a crucial role in asserting our sovereign rights within our maritime domain.

Through their dedication and resilience, our fisherfolk communities contribute significantly to a stronger, more secure, and more prosperous archipelagic and maritime Philippines.
