The Armed Forces of the Philippines said China 's recent claim that the Philippine Navy destroyed its fishing nets in Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea was another example of its "malign influence operation."“It seeks to distract from the real issue at hand: their ongoing illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions and activities in the West Philippine Sea ,” AFP spokesperson Colonel Francel Margerath Padilla said.
The military spokesperson said the Philippines "has sovereign rights over these waters, as recognized under international law, specifically the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."Chinese state media Xinhua News Agency earlier reported that the Philippine Navy has destroyed fishing nets set by Chinese fisherfolk in Ayungin Shoal. It added the Navy pulled 100 meters of fishing net onto the “illegal beach warship” BRP Sierra Madre after the Chinese fisherfolk left.
