BBM: PH must do more than protest

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Thursday the Philippines needs to do more than protest Beijing's 'illegal actions' in the South China Sea.Chinese coast guard personnel wielding knives, sticks and an axe surrounded and boarded three Filipino navy boats last week, video showed, foiling what Manila said was a resupply mission to troops manning a grounded warship, the BRP Sierra Madre, on Ayungin Shoal.

'So, although there were no arms involved, nonetheless, it is still a deliberate action and it is essentially an illegal action that was taken by Chinese forces.'A Filipino soldier lost a finger in the incident, with Manila also accusing the Chinese coast guard of stealing guns and damaging three boats along with navigational and communication equipment.Beijing insisted its coast guard behaved in a 'professional and restrained' way and blamed Manila for the clash.
