Smaller Philippine Coast Guard ship keeps China vessel from Zambales coast
A Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) ship, the BRP Cabra, successfully deterred the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 3103 from approaching the coast of Zambales.
The 44-meter BRP Cabra kept CCG 3103 at a distance of 185.2 kilometers from the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Another CCG vessel appeared to serve as a support for CCG 3103, and CCG 5901 was also spotted a few nautical miles away.
PCG spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela stated that the PCG's presence demonstrates a commitment to upholding sovereign rights and international law peacefully.
The PCG vowed not to allow China to alter the status quo by encroaching closer to the Zambales coastline.
