National Security Adviser Eduardo Año emphasized that the Philippines will not agree to de-escalate the situation in the West Philippine Sea on China’s terms.
Año challenged the remarks of China’s foreign ministry stating that the Philippines should seek permission whenever conducting resupply operations for troops at the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal, following the Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea held on July 2 in Manila. “Ito ay isang understanding na pauhin natin ‘yung sitwasyon sa Ayungin Shoal para wala nang masaktan at para makapa-resupply tayo ng mga tropa sa BRP Sierra Madre without giving out national interest quest to our sovereignty and protection of our sovereign right,” Año said.
