  Lacson: Reinforce, refurbish BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 25, 2021) —  Presidential aspirant Senator Ping Lacson said on Thursday that the country should strengthen its presence in Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea. Lacson, who chairs the Senate Defense Committee, says BRP Sierra Madre should be refurbished and reinforced.

We should not allow the removal of our vessel. ] "' Yun din ang gusto ng  China , palayasin ang  Sierra M...

  Dagdagan pa barko ng ‘Pinas sa WPS – Lacson Sa halip na tanggalin ang BRP Sierra Madre sa Ayungin Shoal, mas mabuti umanong ayusin na lang ito at dagdagan pa, ayon kay Senador Panfilo Lacson. Ginawa ng Partido Reporma standard bearer ang pahayag kasabay ng kanyang pagtutol sa pahayag ni Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian na kailangang sundin ng Pilipinas ang “kasunduan” na alisin ang BRP Sierra Madre sa lugar. “I don’t think there was an agreement. I could not imagine the Philippine government, much less the Department of Foreign Affairs, na papasok sa kasunduan na tatanggalin natin ang BRP Sierra Madre,” sabi ni Lacson sa lingguhang Lacson-Sotto Meet the Press forum. Dagdag ng senador, mas kailangan pa ngang ayusin at dagdagan ang vessel sa lugar. Ang BRP Sierra Madre ay isang grounded vessel na nagsisilbing outpost ng Philippine Navy sa West Philippine Sea. “Dapat huwag natin bayaang iusog… Kung kakayanin lagay tayo ng isang barko doon na functioning,” ani Lacson.

Bakit iuurong? Lacson: Refurbish, reinforce BRP Sierra Madre to assert PH rights over WPS Instead of removing the BRP Sierra Madre from Ayungin Shoal, why not refurbish and reinforce it? Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson stressed this Thursday as he rejected the call of Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian that the Philippines “honor its commitment” and remove the BRP Sierra Madre from the area. “I don’t think there was an agreement. I could not imagine the Philippine government, much less the Department of Foreign Affairs, na papasok sa kasunduan na tatanggalin natin ang BRP Sierra Madre. [Walang lupa ang Ayungin, pero sa atin yan napakaliwanag] (I don’t think there was an agreement. I could not imagine the Philippine government, much less our Department of Foreign Affairs, entering into an agreement that would involve the removal of the BRP Sierra Madre. Ayungin may not have a land mass but it is clear that it is ours),” Lacson said at the weekly LACSON-SOTTO Meet the Press forum....
