AFP rejects Chinese media portrayal of Pinoy fisherfolk as West PH Sea aggressors

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Wednesday dismissed the portrayal of Filipino fishermen as aggressors in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) by Beijing-based media China Daily as misleading and deceptive. “These narratives are inconsistent with verified information from Philippine maritime authorities and misrepresent the circumstances involving unarmed civilian fishing vessels in the WPS,” the military said in a statement.
