A Philippine Navy vessel warned off a China Navy vessel for conducting "dangerous maneuvers" off Pag-asa Island in the West Philippine Sea, the military said Sunday. In a statement, Armed Forces public affairs chief Lieutenant Colonel Enrico Ileto said that on Friday, October 13, the BRP Benguet issued consecutive radio challenges to China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy Ship 621 , which was shadowing the Philippine Navy vessel at an 80-yard distance.
also tried to cross LS507's bow with a closest point of approach of 350 yards at 5.8 nautical miles southwest of Pag-asa Island, Ileto said. The Benguet had been on its way to Rizal Reef Station on a regular rotation and resupply mission. Ileto said the crew cited the Chinese vessel's violation of the Collision Regulations in its radio challenges, and that
responded by citing its "ten-dash line" narrative. The ten-dash line refers to a new map that China has issued that shows its claims over nearly the entirety of the South China Sea, Taiwan, and a state in India. "These maneuvers pose significant risks to maritime safety, collision prevention, and danger to human lives at sea.
