@piaranada Strong words from Moreno today on defending West PH Sea.

@piaranada Isko Moreno said he would do a Joko Widodo on China. What does this mean?

Indonesian President Joko Widodo, in 2016, held a Cabinet mtg on a warship off Natuna Islands to assert his country's rights over waters where China had been trespassing. | via @piaranada

@piaranada Widodo's fisheries minister has been known to chase away, even blow up, foreign fishing vessels trespassing in its waters, including those of China. | via @piaranada

@piaranada Asked if his remarks earlier today where he mentioned Joko Widodo mean he will do the same thing the Indonesian president did, Moreno told us: 'Yes, to protect our water and fishermen.' | via @piaranada
