National Security Adviser (NSA) Eduardo M. Año on Tuesday said the BRP Conrado Yap (PS-39) conducted routine patrol operations off Bajo De Masinloc (also known as Scarborough Shoal), contrary to Chinese claims that a Filipino warship “trespassed” into their territory without any incident.

“PS-39 conducted routine patrol operations in the general vicinity of Bajo De Masinloc without any untoward incident. It did not illegally enter any space under Chinese sovereignty because Bajo de Masinloc is part of the Philippine archipelago and EEZ . Chinese vessels, as usual, conducted shadowing on the movement of PS-39,” he added.

“A Philippine frigate trespassed into the waters adjacent to China’s Huangyan Dao without the approval of the Chinese government on Monday,” Air Force Senior Colonel Tian Junli, spokesperson for the PLA Southern Theater Command, said. He added that the Philippine Navy’ action “has seriously violated China’s sovereignty and international law and basic norms governing international relations, and is highly likely to cause misunderstanding and miscalculation.”

“Under international law, the Philippines has every right to patrol the length and breadth of the West Philippine Sea which necessarily includes Bajo De Masinloc which is well within the country’s EEZ,” he added.
