The vice-chairman of the House Committee on National Defense on Wednesday urged the government to make its presence felt in Philippine territorial waters that have become the target of incursions by Chinese military vessels, saying that the newly-acquired ship from South Korea should be sent to the areas.

Muntinlupa City Rep. Ruffy Biazon aired the recommendation as he congratulated the Philippine Navy for the arrival of the BRP Conrado Yap , a warship donated by South Korea to the Philippines.“With the intrusions by foreign military ships into the country’s waters, the Philippine Navy, to accomplish its mandate and duty, must now utilize its ships to assert the country’s sovereignty in waters that belong to It,” he stressed.

“With the intrusions by foreign military ships into the country’s waters, the Philippine Navy, to accomplish its mandate and duty, must now utilize its ships to assert the country’s sovereignty in waters that belong to it,” the senior administration solon said. Prior to this, Duterte faced severe criticism for not taking swift action in stopping China from staging “bullying tactics” in Philippine territorial waters.

“Once PS-39 has been equipped with the needed tactical systems, it could be sent to patrol Sibutu Strait in Tawi-Tawi to establish the Navy’s presence in and coverage of the country’s backdoor where not only are there activities by smugglers, pirates and illegal fishing vessels , there are also unauthorized intrusions by a foreign Navy,” he stated.
