Before addressing the source of the problem in Bajo De Masinloc, it is important to highlight that there is no provisional arrangement between China and the Philippines. Filipino fishermen have historically fished peacefully in the area even before the establishment of the Chinese Coast Guard. Moreover, the guidance of the President is very clear that is to support the welfare of our ordinary Filipino fishermen because this is their livelihood.
They are not like the Chinese Maritime Militia, disguised as ordinary fishermen, who supports the bullying and provocation of the Chinese Coast Guard in the West Philippine Sea. Now to respond to your question as to what is the root cause of problem in Bajo De Masinloc, I am attaching here the video of how the Chinese Coast Guard harassed our ordinary Filipino fishermen in Bajo De Masinloc. I think you can find the answer here.
