The Philippines and China agreed to resume discussions in Beijing this month following a series of confrontations in the West Philippine Sea .
Manalo stated that he remains “hopeful” that in the upcoming BCM, the recent ramming incident involving a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and the Philippine Coast Guard’s BRP Teresa Magbanua at Escoda Shoal will be discussed. “The Philippine Navy will support all the moves of the government to ensure that our territory will remain intact, our sovereignty will remain, and the welfare of the Philippines will be protected,” Trinidad told the media.
“We should look at it as our intent to ensure that we will not be deterred by whatever challenges we face in the West Philippine Sea,” Trinidad said, underscoring the stark reality of a lone Philippine vessel standing strong amidst 203 Chinese ships in the face of continued aggression from the China Coast Guard in Sabina Shoal.
