BRP Cabra shadows 2 CCG ships until their exit from PH waters
Two China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, CCG 3301 and 3104, were detected within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed BRP Cabra to shadow and issue radio challenges to the CCG vessels until their exit from the Philippine EEZ.
The PCG emphasized the CCG vessels' lack of legal authority to patrol the area under UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
The CCG ships insisted they were patrolling China's internal waters.
Both CCG vessels have since returned to China, with one tracked 61 nautical miles and the other 81 nautical miles from Guangdong Province.
Commodore Jay Tarriela suggested that China aims to normalize its illegal deployments within the Philippine EEZ.
The PCG remains committed to upholding the nation's maritime rights and safeguarding national interests in the West Philippine Sea without escalating tensions.
