PH will take ‘legal action’ vs China on harvest of giant clams – Locsin 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Roy MabasaThe Philippine government will take “legal action” against China following reports that Chinese fishermen are mass harvesting giant clams in the Scarborough Shoal. “We just caught them doing that recently, filed a diplomatic note, and will be taking legal action. It is illegal and in fact, you’re also violating conventions on environmental protection for which we can take legal action,” he said. When pressed on what legal action the Philippines will be taking, Locsin said the DFA legal office led by Assistant Secretary Eduardo Malaya is still studying the matter.
