MANILA— A fisherfolk group expressed concerns over ongoing talks among legislators to amend the Philippine Constitution, saying this may lead to the easing if not the elimination of safeguards that uphold the country’s sovereignty and the protection of its oceans and natural resources from foreign plunder.
In a statement, Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) warned that implementing the charter change might allow foreign fishing boats, particularly those from China, to further intrude on Philippine seas.
