Carpio calls for 'common agreement' on Scarborough shoal

Manila - Surrogate Chief Judge Antonio Carpio has reached a "common agreement", suggesting that the Philippines, China and Vietnam are engaged in controversial South China Sea's rich fishery

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Carpio emphasized that the permanent arbitration court ruled that Scarborough Shoal is a common fishery (traditional fishery) in these three countries.

"Since we have to keep fish taxes for sustainable fishery, they should sit on the seat of this assembly and discuss fishing methods.

"For me, this is harassment, they are even being stolen because they infringe the wishes of the Philippine fishermen, at least they should protest," he said.

Malakanyan on Thursday guarantees that the Philippines does not accept the right to Scarborough Shawl, but Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Kin Hua told Beijing.

Since 2012, the Philippines raised the ship issue of the Chinese government in the International Court of Justice against China and exchanged with local fishermen.

The arbitral tribunal said, "Since May 2012 China has illegally banned traditional fishing in Scarborough Shoal from Filipino fishermen through the operation of the official Scarborough Shoal."

In the ruling of maritime conflict in 2016, the arbitral tribunal ruled on traditional fishing at the atoll, but did not deal with sovereignty problems.

"According to the jurisdiction limit, the court did not make any decision or comment on the sovereignty of Scarborough Shoal," the ruling said.

In 2016, the arbitral tribunal of The Hague condemned the restrictions of Filipino fishermen crossing this region of China, declaring that the waters around Scarborough Shawl are ordinary fishery. A few months later, Duterte announced an informal agreement after a state visit to China and allowed Philippine fishermen to return to the shallow. The president's critics questioned his wisdom and effectiveness in the "quiet diplomacy" of the conflict over the South China Sea. The Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio is a frank maritime policy advocate who demanded the government to file a lawsuit against China on this issue.

During the Spanish era of the Philippines, a map of 1774 was created. It was clearly named Scarborough Shoals as Panacot Shoal which is the characteristic of the sovereignty of the Spanish Philippines completely. The name of the current village was chosen by Captain Philip De Auvergne and his East Indian company, East Indian Scarborough, stayed on the rock for a while on September 12, 1784 and headed for China. When the Philippines won independence in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Scarborough group was handed over to the Philippine sovereign republic by the colonial government.

The confrontation between Scarborough and Shawl in 2012 in China brought restrictions on the People's Republic of China to enter that Scholes. After indirectly stating that the United States does not recognize the sovereignty of any country over Scarborough Shawl and bringing the tension between the Philippines and the United States, intervention in the allies by the existing mutual defense treaty in the United States has not begun. In January 2013, the Philippines officially launched arbitration proceedings against China's claims on the territory of "9 lines" including the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shawls under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
