CCG ship spotted anew off Zambales coast
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) continues to assert the Philippines' sovereign rights by challenging a China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel, CCG 3304, found within the country's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near Zambales.
The PCG vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua is monitoring CCG 3304, which has been loitering 105 to 115 nautical miles off the Zambales coast.
PCG spokesperson for West Philippine Sea (WPS) Commodore Jay Tarriela stated that the Chinese vessel's presence violates the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
The CCG vessels have been deployed off the coast of Zambales since January 4, with some getting as close as 50 nautical miles.
