ABOARD THE BRP CABRA, West Philippine Sea — Named after a revolutionary who gave shelter and aid to Katipuneros in the battles against Spain, BRP Melchora Aquino performed a similar duty this week when it was deployed to escort boats on a resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal this week.
A Chinese maritime militia vessel also hit the port side of BRP Cabra, which was stationary. The Philippine vessel was bumped twice — with the second instance caught on camera. As Unaizah Mae 2 is still being repaired, the Armed Forces of the Philippines deployed the M/L Kalayaan in the November mission.
The task force added, supply boats Unaizah Mae 1 and M/L Kalayaan were also subjected to "extremely reckless and dangerous harassment at close proximity by CCG rigid hull inflatable boats ." The Department of Foreign Affairs has also conveyed its protest directly through the Maritime Communications Mechanism.
