MANILA - The Philippines is filing a diplomatic protest to Beijing following Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana’s statement questioning the presence of Chinese research vessels and warships in Philipp

ine waters, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro "Teddy Boy' Locsin said Friday.

On ANC's Headstart Friday, Lorenzana urged the Philippine government to ask Beijing why Chinese research vessels and warships are entering Philippine waters. "If the intention is only to study the sea or the fish, marine life there, then it is not a security threat. But if they're doing other things like making reconnaissance or surveillance of our positions, then it's a threat," the defense chief said.

Now we have the Chinese oceanographic survey ship "Zhanjian" operating just 80 nautical miles off the east coast of the Philippines. Is it operating there with Manila's permission? pic.twitter.com/R1lwJrNp3VThe Zhanjian has been operating in the Philippines' EEZ since Saturday while Dong Fang Hong 3 was spotted near northern Luzon on Wednesday, according to Martinson.
