It has been eight years since an international tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands invalidated China’s nine-dash line claim over the South China Sea, and yet several maritime zones of the Philippines remain under dispute to this day.In this second part of the series tackling the contested features in the West Philippine Sea , GMA News Online delved into the Scarborough Shoal , locally known as the Panatag Shoal or Bajo de Masinloc.
But before the civilian mission, China sent a “huge force” allegedly to seal off Scarborough Shoal, according to former US Air Force official and ex-Defense Attaché Ray Powell. Forty-three Chinese vessels, including a warship, also moved to the shoal amid the mission. Days after the mission was concluded, Powell reported that CCG 5901, known as "The Monster," the largest coast guard ship in the world, conducted a “brief intrusive patrol” near Scarborough Shoal.
