The Philippine Coast Guard and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources have stepped up the conduct of maritime exercises in the West Philippine Sea, according to the PCG spokesperson, Commodore Armando Balilo.
The Philippines occupies Pag-asa Island, while Panatag Shoal, a flash point between Manila and Beijing, has been under Chinese control since 2012 following a standoff in April that year. He said BRP Gabriela Silang and BRP Sindangan started their maritime training on Saturday near Panatag Shoal, while BRP Cabra, BRP Malapascua and four other PCG-manned BFAR vessels, including BRP Francisco Dagohoy, have been doing interoperability exercises near Pag-asa Island.
The Philippines has deployed more patrol vessels to intensify surveillance in the disputed waters after the sighting of almost 200 Chinese ships at Julian Felipe Reef last month.Most of the boats have since dispersed around the contested archipelago. China—which claims almost the entirety of the sea—has refused repeated demands by the Philippines to call back the ships, which Manila says are maritime militia vessels and Beijing says are fishing boats.
Lead the way Senator
That is something that Duterte will not do. He will probably just insist that war is the only option in order to discourage people again. He might also just do something to alienate possible allies against China.
Seems Du30 will not do as you are suggesting. Is there other options. Can any Filipino ask intervention with the Hague in implenting its decision.
wag puro dada gumawa na kau ng batas para o require lahat ng wokes mag enlist sa ROTC korea style. 2 years wala uwian para naman may laban sa gyera.
First they should all question Trilli about his secret visits sent by Aquino to China and ask him what secret arrangements/promises he made with China. The 'Powerful' neighbours and Useless Allies kept Silent and did nothing when it was happening and continue to simply make noise
All we can say about all this is that it is long overdue. It is actually quite scandalous how the PRC is blatantly ignoring an International Court ruling. Furthermore, the lack of serious international response to it so doing allows the PRC to bully neighbours and defy Intl order
You wish
