ARMED Forces of the Philippines chief of staff General Romeo Brawner denied on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, the claims of China that Filipino troops stationed at the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin shoal pointed their guns to China Coast Guard personnel during the recent air supply.In a press conference in Camp Aguinaldo, Brawner said instead of the usual resupply mission being coursed through the waters off the West Philippine Sea , it was done through airdrop.

Brawner maintained that what China did was illegal and that the AFP personnel acted accordingly considering that the BRP Sierra Made is a commissioned Philippine vessel and that Chinese vessels ventured “dangerously close” to it, violating the safe distance protocols.
