The military says this is in addition to the passage of 4 Chinese vessels earlier this year, all without permission from the Philippine government.
WARSHIPS SPOTTED. This photo taken on May 10, 2016 shows crew members of China's South Sea Fleet taking part in a logistics supply drill near the James Shoal area on South China Sea. Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the whole of the South China Sea, on the basis of a segmented line that first appeared on Chinese maps in the 1940s, pitting it against several neighbours.
Coastal patrols monitored the passage of 2 Chinese naval vessels in July and 3 in August, said Lieutenant General Cirilito Sobejana, AFP Westmincom Commander. “Since these are warships, their entry to our territory should be coordinated [with Philippine authorities],” Sobejana in an interview provided to reporters.
