Chinese boat stuck in Ayungin rejects PH help
A Chinese rigid hull inflatable boat got stuck in Ayungin Shoal after becoming entangled in a fishing line while tailing Philippine vessels, according to the military.
Philippine troops offered assistance to the distressed Chinese boat, but the offer was rejected.
Surprisingly, the Chinese vessel then radioed a message blaming the Philippine Coast Guard for the incident due to their "maneuvers."
The military spokesperson dismissed the accusation as a fabricated narrative intended for the Chinese public and emphasized the importance of the truth.
Another Chinese boat eventually came to the rescue of the stranded vessel.
