PCG continues to monitor China's 'monster ship' amid rough seas
The China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 5901, nicknamed the "monster ship," is currently located 95 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Despite adverse sea conditions with 3-5 meter waves, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua remains on guard and has kept the CCG vessel at a considerable distance.
The PCG is actively conducting radio challenges to address the unlawful presence of the Chinese Coast Guard within the Philippine EEZ.
The PCG's ongoing monitoring and challenges aim to prevent the normalization of illegal CCG activities and potential alteration of the status quo.
