The Chinese Coast Guard once more carried out an unprovoked water cannon attack on a Philippine vessel in an apparent attempt to drive it away from hotly contested waters, authorities in Manila confirmed on Tuesday.
The BFAR noted that the undisclosed number of CCG vessels were accompanied by one People’s Liberation Army Navy vessel as it “shadowed” the Philippine ships. Bajo de Masinloc, sometimes called Panatag Shoal, is located 124 nautical miles off Masinloc, Zambales, and is within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone .
“Let us continue our fishing activities… we shouldn’t stop. We cannot allow the wrong things being done by the PLA-Navy, coast guard at maritime militia to prevail in our seas,” PN spokesperson for WPS Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad said in Filipino. “We strongly condemn the violent and illegal actions of Chinese maritime authorities against Vietnamese fishermen near the Paracel Islands on September 29, 2024. This unjustified assault, which left 10 fishermen injured and damaged their property, is an alarming act with no place in international relations.” National Security Adviser Eduardo Ano said in a statement.
