In a statement, Senator Risa Hontiveros stressed that the China Coast Guard was at fault in the recent incident as the Philippine Coast Guard"has every right to be in the West Philippine Sea.""Walang karapatan ang Tsina na itaboy ang ating mga tropa sa ating karagatan. At mas lalong wala silang karapatan na saktan at banggain ang Pilipinong barkong tanging gumagawa lang ng kanyang trabaho sa sarili nating teritoryo," she added.
"Ang naturang insidente ay dapat mapasailalim sa isang masusing imbestigasyon sa ilalim ng International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea at ng Code for Investigation ng Marine Casualties and Incidents ng International Maritime Organization," Tolentino said. Senator Jinggoy Estrada said Beijing's recent actions not only violate maritime norms and international law but also pose a threat to the safety and security of the region. He urged the government to carefully consider its next steps against China.
Zubiri commended the PCG and the Armed Forces of the Philippines for displaying courage and restraint in their resupply missions despite the"hostile and treacherous acts" of the CCG.
