PCG CONDEMNS CCG's DANGEROUS MANEUVERS, ILLEGAL USE OF WATER CANNONS DURING RECENT RESUPPLY MISSION The Philippine Coast Guard strongly condemns the China Coast Guard's dangerous maneuvers and illegal use of water cannons against the PCG vessels escorting the indigenous boats chartered by the Armed Forces of the Philippines yesterday, 05 August 2023. These boats were delivering food, water, fuel and other supplies to our military troops stationed on BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.
The China Coast Guard had reinstalled a 380-metre barrier across the entrance to the shoal—a traditional fishing ground—blocking access to the waters inside, the statement said. Manila and Beijing have a long history of maritime territorial disputes in the waterway, with several collisions involving Filipino and Chinese vessels in recent months, as well as water cannoning by the China Coast Guard.
