DFA 'not aware' of China's 'new model' in Ayungin Shoal

The Department of Foreign Affairs has denied the existence of the so-called “new model,” which the Chinese Embassy in Manila claimed to be intended to manage disputes in the Ayungin Shoal.

The Foreign Affairs Department also reaffirmed its position that the Philippines has not entered into any agreement to abandon its rights over its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, including the Ayungin Shoal. The Secretary of National Defense and the National Security Adviser have already denied the existence of “any informal arrangements” regarding the shoal, which the DFA proves “the untruthfulness of China’s narrative.

However, both the DND and the Philippine National Security Council already dismissed the alleged new model, saying it was merely an “invention” by China.
