MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – To show its firm resolve to deal firmly with the territorial dispute with China, the Philippine government announced it will remove the floating barriers that were installed in the South China Sea. The barriers set up by China has prevented Filipino fishermen from accessing their only source of livelihood.

Asked what the PH government will do with the floaters once dismantled, Malacañang Press Briefer Daphne Oseña-Paez said they will be divided and distributed to public swimming pools across the country.

“This will be a boost to the swimming training program of the country in our quest to harvest more Olympic medals in the sport,” she said.
