“The floating barrier with an estimated length of 300 meters was discovered by the PCG and BFAR (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) personnel onboard BRP Datu Bankaw when they conducted routine maritime patrol last September 22, 2023 at the vicinity of BDM,” Tarriela said in a statement.

Question... what would be stopping anyone in those waters from either removing those barriers or moving them back to the edge of Chinese waters?
