Senator Panfilo Lacson's camp says the Chinese Navy told them their actions were 'unfriendly and dangerous' and that they must 'leave immediately.'
Chinese authorities warned an aircraft carrying Senator Panfilo Lacson that it was acting in an"unfriendly and dangerous" manner as it flew to Pag-asa Island in the West Philippine Sea, and toward what Beijing called its"military zone."
In a video shared by Lacson's team on Sunday, November 21, pilots of the private Pilatus PC-12 aircraft are contacted at least twice, with a person saying they should"leave immediately" to"avoid misjudgment." Partido Reporma spokesperson Ashley Acedillo, who joined Lacson on his trip to Pag-asa Island, said the pilots had shared their standard reply to Chinese authorities and had coordinated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines prior to their visit.
