A Philippine Coast Guard aircraft sighted a huge number of Chinese vessels, including a warship, in and around Panatag Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, where a civilian mission is headed.

A Philippine Coast Guard aircraft on Wednesday sighted a huge number of Chinese vessels, including a warship, in and around Panatag Shoal in the West Philippine Sea , where a civilian mission is headed. A group of journalists, including our team from GMA Integrated News , were on board the PCG aircraft to witness the conduct of its maritime awareness domain flight.

Double floating barriers were also seen at the entrance of the shoal, an apparent move to seal off the lagoon, Tarriela surmised. At approximately 30 nautical miles towards the reef, a stern radio challenge from another Chinese Navy ship came through the plane’s communication system, warning the pilots to leave the area. “Leave immediately or you will be responsible for all the consequences,” said the message that was delivered in a forceful voice.
