WATCH: Philippine Navy personnel aboard rubber boats deployed from BRP Sierra Madre conducted a lawful and non-confrontational operation to drive away a China Coast Guard RHIB that had unlawfully approached the vicinity of the outpost within waters where the Philippines exercises sovereign rights under international law. Instead of complying, China Coast Guard personnel responded with violence, striking Philippine Navy personnel with wooden batons and damaging the Philippine Navy rubber boats. Despite the aggression, our troops exercised maximum restraint, professionalism, and discipline while carrying out their mission. 📽️ BRP Sierra Madre #AFPyoucanTRUST #OneAFPOnePhilippines #StrongAFPStrongPhilippines #OurSeasOurRightsOurFuture #MatatagNaSandigan🫡🇵🇭

LOOK | Secretary of National Defense Gilberto C. Teodoro Jr. and AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo S. Brawner Jr. address the recent misleading and malicious narrative being circulated by supposed journalists following an encounter at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Secretary Teodoro clarified that no Chinese delegation officially participated in the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. The so-called journalists approached General Brawner outside of formal engagements, violating protocol and capturing selective footage used in the China Daily article titled “Philippine military chief dodges questions.” This article is a blatant piece of propaganda aimed at discrediting the AFP and undermining the Philippines' position in the West Philippine Sea. The AFP and DND have addressed and exposed the truth behind this deceptive narrative, reaffirming their commitment to truth, professionalism, and principled diplomacy in the face of foreign disinformation campaigns. The AFP stands resilient in defending our sovereignty and our people. #AFPyoucanTRUST #OneAFPOnePhilippines #StrongAFPStrongPhilippines #OurSeasOurRightsOurFuture
