“Walang katotohanan sa haka-haka na may ‘verbal fishing agreement’ umano sa pagitan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte at Pangulong Xi Jin Ping, na hinimok ang mga barkong Tsino na manatili sa West Philippine Sea sa kabila ng mga diplomatic protest at matinding mga pahayag ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas. Ito ay walang batayan at simpleng haka-haka.”
What Vera Files found
Mismong ang pangulo ang nagsabi sa isang talumpati noong Hunyo 2019 na "syempre" papayagan niya ang mga Chinese national na mangisda sa loob ng katubigan ng Pilipinas. Sinabi niya na ito ang kanyang "kasunduan" kay Chinese President Xi Jinping para hayaan ang mga Pilipino na mangisda nang hindi nasasaktan sa kontrolado ng China na Scarborough Shoal, na kasunod na ipinaliwanag ni Salvador Panelo, noo'y presidential spokesperson at chief legal counsel.
