AFP official: Warships were 'trespassing'; their actions not of a 'good neighbor' MANILA—Chinese warships sailing unannounced in Philippine waters this year have been classified as "security threats," a military official said Thursday.

“We don’t know exactly what they are doing, if they are conducting research or surveillance,” said Arevalo, saying the AFP did not believe the Chinese were doing innocent passage. Arevalo revealed the Chinese vessels did not respond to radio calls made by the Western Mindanao Command , a protocol for all seafaring vessels.

He said the AFP is deliberating whether maritime patrols in waters where Chinese warships often pass through should be increased.

Malinaw na ginagago kayo ng china. Ibenenta kayo ni dutertraydor. Because of duterte. This administration should implement the ruling of ICC. If done, it will make China back off. They won't start a war cause they know they have more to loose than gain because all countries are by our side. We may be small but we can be strong if we just play our cards right.
