“The absence of Philippine government escort vessels was deliberate. We are exhausting all available means to peacefully co-exist until all West Philippine Sea issues are finally resolved,” WESCOM chief Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos said. According to WESCOM, the Philippine government will sustain the morale and welfare of BRP Sierra Madre sailors even with the presence of Chinese vessels in the contested waters.
