Western Command head Vice Admiral Alexander on Wednesday
denied reports China
The latter is internationally known as Jackson Atoll and
lies between Lawak
Island
"That report is not accurate, it's not true,"
Lopez said in Filipino when asked to comment on this report.
And while confirming the sighting of Chinese ships off the
area, the Western Command said that these vessels have already left.
"The Chinese, they can be anywhere (they want), and the
sightings of those three to five Chinese ships are incidental, but it is not
true that they have taken control of Quirino Atoll, in fact the last air patrol
on Feb. 24 reveal that Filipino fishermen are there," Lopez pointed out.
And so far these Chinese ships, which are possibly fishing
or coast guard vessels, are still to return, he added.
"And as far we are concern, there is no sustained
Chinese presence in the area," Lopez pointed out.
