CHINESE fishing boats left a Huangyan Island lagoon in the South China Seas on Friday night, ending a five-day stalemate, according to sources from the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs and the military yesterday.
Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said in a statement yesterday that all the Chinese fishing vessels had left the lagoon, and one Chinese surveillance ship remained there.
The standoff erupted when the Philippine Navy spotted some Chinese fishing boats seeking refuge from bad weather in the lagoon on April 8. The Philippines sent its largest warship, Gregorio del Pilar, to block the entrance of the lagoon two days later. Two Chinese surveillance ships near the area rushed to the scene to protect the Chinese fishermen.
A Philippine Coast Guard vessel remains in the area, according to the navy.
