China has stationed up to five ships around a disputed island in the South China Sea, blocking Philippine fishermen.

China recently sent ships to the Quirino Atoll, also known as Jackson Atoll, the paper reported.

該報道稱中國最近派船去五方礁，外媒稱Jackson Atoll。

Eugenio Bito-onon Jr. is a mayor on the Spratly Islands. He told the Star that Chinese ships docked at the atoll more than a month ago.

Chinese boats chased Philippine fishermen from the atoll’s shores, the paper said.

The Philippine military said it has tracked Chinese ships, too.
