MANILA—Five more Chinese warships passed through Philippine waters without informing the country's authorities, officials said Wednesday.
“Warship in general term, reconnaissance, basta armed ’yun, armed,” Sobejana said, describing the kind of warships they spotted. “Since nakita ’yung presence natin agad naman silang umiwas, lumalabas sa teritorya ng ating bansa,” Sobejana said. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS, any foreign vessel may be allowed to cross a coastal state’s territorial waters without notifying the coastal state if they are conducting innocent passage, or movement in a straight path heading back out to sea, essentially just passing through.
