Senators slam China's seizure, dumping of food for PH soldiers in WPS
Filipino senators strongly condemned the China Coast Guard's (CCG) seizure and dumping of food supplies for Philippine soldiers in Ayungin Shoal.
The CCG also allegedly obstructed medical evacuations for injured soldiers in separate incidents in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) on May 19.
Senator Risa Hontiveros described the CCG's actions as despicable, callous, and showing a disregard for human life and Philippine sovereignty.
Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla denounced the harassment activities as "inhumane" and potentially qualifying as piracy.
These actions by the CCG are seen as a clear violation of the Philippines' sovereignty and human decency.
