Pimentel asserted that “if and when China Coast Guard vessels fire their water cannons to harass the drilling activities,” the PCG boats “should be ready to fight back with their water cannons.”

Surigao del Sur Rep. Johnny Pimentel, chairman of House committee on strategic intelligence, on Sunday told the Philippine Coast Guard to prepare to fight back against China’s water cannon should a scheduled offshore gas drilling activity in the Recto Bank escalate into tension.

“The Vietnam Coast Guard does this all the time. They exchange water cannon sprays with the China Coast Guard,” he said. “We expect the PCG to deploy its lead ship around Recto Bank for defensive purposes to secure the drilling activities,” he said, referring to 84-meter, French-built offshore patrol vessel BRP Gabriela Silang.

Citing the Department of Foreign Affairs records of the 2011 incident, Pimentel’s iffice said CMS ships Zhongguo 71 and 75 hounded and then ordered the Veritas Voyager to leave Recto Bank, forcing Forum to discontinue its survey.
