“All under control”? Let us be clear: you cannot take control of something that is not yours. What the China Coast Guard calls “control measures in accordance with the law” is neither control nor lawful. It is not effective jurisdiction — it is attempted theft through the excessive illegal...

BRP Teresa Magbanua Upholds Philippine Sovereign Rights in Response to Illegal Presence of China Coast Guard Vessel In compliance with the directive from President Ferdinand Marcos, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel, BRP Teresa Magbanua, is firmly asserting the Philippines' sovereign rights in light of the unlawful presence of the China Coast Guard vessel 3301. This vessel is currently located approximately 105-110 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales, within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The PCG has actively communicated with the China Coast Guard vessel via radio, clearly indicating that its presence constitutes a violation of the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the 2016 Arbitral Award. Despite challenging sea conditions, with wave heights reaching 2-4 meters, the BRP Teresa Magbanua has remained steadfast in its mission for over a week. The PCG is dedicated to protecting the maritime rights of the Philippines, ensuring the safety of Filipino fishermen, upholding international law, and contributing to the de-escalation of tensions in the West Philippine Sea.

PCG Aircraft Conducts MDA Flight and Responds to Radio Challenges from PLA Navy Warship Near Bajo de Masinloc The Philippine Coast Guard recently conducted a routine Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight over the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc, located within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone in the West Philippine Sea. During the patrol, the PCG aircraft detected the unauthorized presence of several Chinese maritime forces. These included two China Coast Guard vessels—one bearing an unidentified bow number and positioned approximately 84.6 nautical miles west of Capones Island, while the other was located 7.8 nautical miles southeast of Bajo de Masinloc—as well as two People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships with hull numbers 553 and 909 near the Southeast of BDM. In addition, five vessels believed to be Chinese maritime militia were observed at distances ranging from 6.16 to 11.82 nautical miles from Bajo de Masinloc. The PLAN warship with hull number 553 issued multiple radio challenges to the PCG Islander aircraft. The PCG aircrew responded professionally, asserting that the MDA flight was fully compliant with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the 2016 Arbitral Award, and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act. These legal instruments affirm the Philippines’ sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisdiction over the West Philippine Sea. The crew further emphasized the Philippines’ lawful authority to conduct MDA operations within its maritime zones and reminded the PLAN warship that China, as a signatory to UNCLOS, had no legal basis to interfere with legitimate Philippine activities. The PCG remains firmly committed to upholding the Philippines’ sovereignty and sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea through transparent and peaceful operations, undeterred by any unlawful interference. This aerial patrol underscores the PCG’s unwavering resolve to protect Filipino fishermen, preserve our marine resources, and highlight the illegal presence of Chinese maritime forces to prevent its normalization—fully aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s pledge to yield not a single inch of our territory to any foreign power.

This is the China Coast Guard 3103 operating illegally at a distance of 93 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales. In its radio communications with the Philippine Coast Guard vessel, BRP Cabra, it is clear that the Chinese Communist Party is disregarding international law while arrogantly asserting jurisdiction over these waters, which are well beyond the People's Republic of China's baseline. Without needing to emphasize the key points of the 2016 Arbitral Award, which invalidated their nine-dash line claim, it’s evident that anyone with a sound mind, genuinely concerned about preserving peace and stability in the region, would acknowledge that their presence in the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone is both barbaric and illegitimate. Furthermore, their threats against the legitimate presence of the Philippines conducting maritime patrols—warning that if we do not leave, they will take necessary measures and we will bear the consequences—clearly indicate China’s desire to impose a new order that undermines the rules-based international system. They appear intent on reverting to a system where might dictates what is deemed right, allowing powerful countries to impose their interests at the expense of others' rights and jurisdictions.

Philippine Coast Guard Continues Vigilant Patrols in Zambales Against Illegal Patrols of China Coast Guard Today, the Philippine Coast Guard vessel, BRP Cabra, under the command of LCDR Hanna Yanez, a female skipper, is actively patrolling off the coast of Zambales to thwart attempts by the China Coast Guard to normalize their illegal patrols within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Despite the BRP Cabra being smaller in length compared to the Chinese Coast Guard vessels, PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan asserts that international law empowers our vessel to operate without intimidation. This confidence allows the BRP Cabra to challenge the China Coast Guard, thereby exposing their unruly behavior and bullying tactics to the international community. The Philippine Coast Guard conducts its maritime patrols in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the 2016 Arbitral Award, and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act. Yesterday, during an engagement with CCG-21612 in the vicinity of 132.97 WSW off Capon Grande, Zambales, or approximately 36.35 S off BDM, the Chinese Coast Guard increased its speed and maneuvered past the port side of the BRP Cabra, dangerously blocking its navigation route. This incident highlights the CCG's non-compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and reflects a blatant disregard for safety at sea. While coast guards are typically recognized as enforcers of maritime safety and humanitarian organizations, the actions of the People's Republic of China diverge from these norms. Their illegal patrols jeopardize the lives of fishermen and legitimate law enforcement agencies alike. The Philippine Coast Guard remains committed to supporting the policy direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. that is to assert our rights and jurisdiction while ensuring that we do not act as an agent of escalation in the West Philippine Sea.

When the Philippine Coast Guard detected the presence of the Chinese Coast Guard vessel 5901, positioned 54 nautical miles off the coast of Capones Island, Zambales, using Canada's Dark Vessel Detection (DVD) system, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, the PCG Commandant, promptly dispatched BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) along with a PCG Helicopter and PCG Caravan to verify the incursion and assert their presence. By around 1700H this afternoon, MRRV 4409 and the PCG Caravan confirmed that the Chinese vessel was indeed in the area identified by the DVD. The PCG vessel and aircraft continuously challenged the presence of the Chinese Coast Guard, emphasizing that it was operating within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in accordance with the Philippine Maritime Zones Law and UNCLOS. As of 2000H this evening, BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) continues to monitor the Chinese vessel as it heads west, now 85 nautical miles away from Zambales. The PCG remains committed to closely monitoring this Chinese Coast Guard vessel to ensure that Filipino fishermen can operate safely and without harassment within our Exclusive Economic Zone.

In response, the crew of BRP Cabra has remained steadfast in challenging this assertion, diligently tailing and shadowing CCG-5901 to uphold Philippine sovereign rights. This unwavering commitment reflects the guidance of Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, emphasizing the importance of persistently confronting the illegal presence of the People's Republic of China and ensuring the safety and security of Filipino fishermen operating in the area. The Philippine Coast Guard reaffirms its dedication to protecting the nation's maritime interests and will continue to monitor the activities of the CCG’s illegitimate presence.

🚨 BREAKING: TENSIONS SPIKE AT SCARBOROUGH SHOAL A serious confrontation is unfolding near Scarborough Shoal. Chinese vessels are reportedly confronting Filipino fishing boats inside the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone. In response, the Philippine Coast Guard has deployed: 2 coast guard vessels 5 patrol boats Facing them: Multiple China Coast Guard ships Dozens of maritime militia vessels A People's Liberation Army Navy warship This is not routine activity. It’s a show of force in one of the most contested areas in the South China Sea. And the risk is clear: When civilian vessels, coast guards, and naval forces all converge… One miscalculation can trigger something much bigger. This is a flashpoint. And it’s heating up.

Trump said China was trying to control the Panama Canal and vowed not to let China succeed. But some things cannot be obtained by threats, invasions, bombings, or cowboy speeches in front of a costume audience. Panama already learned that. Washington pushed it to tear up commercial certainty, raid a Chinese-linked company, and play canal-sovereignty theater for American applause. Then the bill arrived. China does not need to “take over” the Panama Canal. China only needs to remind Panama that trade is not a one-way favor, contracts are not stage props, and selling your spine to Washington is not free. The U.S. can shout. The U.S. can threaten. The U.S. can put on another hat and pretend it still owns the hemisphere. But it cannot unload Panama’s cargo. It cannot restore Panama’s credibility. It cannot make Chinese maritime and commercial power disappear. America thinks power is taking. China understands power is making others realize what they already depend on. Panama chose the leash. Now it is discovering that Washington’s leash comes with no insurance.

Statement of the National Task Force-West Philippine Sea December 10, 2023, Manila, Philippines Today, 10 December 2023, China Coast Guard (CCG) and Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels harassed, blocked, and executed dangerous maneuvers on Philippine civilian supply vessels, in another attempt to illegally impede or obstruct a routine resupply and rotation mission (RORE) to BRP SIERRA MADRE (LS 57) at Avungin Shoal. CCG vessel 5204 deployed a water cannon against the Philippine supply vessels causing severe damage to M/L Kalavaan's engines, disabling the vessel and seriously endangering the lives of its crew. Currently, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel BRP Sindangan (MRRV-4407) is safely towing M/ Kalavaan back to Ulugan Bay, Palawan. Additionally, BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) suffered damage to its mast after being directly targeted by the full strength of the water cannon of the China Coast Guard. The PCG vessels and the resupply boats Unaizah Mae 1 (UM1) and M/L Kalayaan were subjected to reckless and dangerous harassment at close range by CCG and Chinese Maritime Militia vessels on their approach to Avungin Shoal. Contrary to China Coast Guard disinformation, UM1 was rammed by CCG 21556. Despite these extreme and reckless actions, UM1 successfully reached BRP Sierra Madre, and resupply is ongoing as of this writing. The Task Force reiterates that Avungin Shoal is a low-tide elevation within the Philippine's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf, in accordance with UNCLOS and as upheld by the 2016 Arbitral Award. The Philippines exercises sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the feature. As a low tide elevation, Avungin Shoal can neither be the subject of a sovereignty claim nor is it capable of appropriation under international law. China cannot lawfully exercise sovereignty over it. In this regard, the assertion of China that its actions in the vicinity of Avungin Shoal are a legitimate exercise of law enforcement measures, has no basis in international law. Further, we express grave concern over the deliberate disinformation conducted through official channels, that distort facts on the ground. We condemn, once again, China's latest unprovoked acts of coercion and dangerous maneuvers against a legitimate and routine Philippine rotation and resupply mission to Avungin Shoal that has put the lives of our people at risk. The systematic and consistent manner in which the People's Republic of China carries out these illegal and irresponsible actions puts into question and significant doubt the sincerity of its calls for peaceful dialogue. Peace and stability cannot be achieved without due regard for the legitimate, well-established, and legally settled rights of others. We demand that China demonstrate that it is a responsible and trustworthy member of the international community. The Philippines continues to act in accordance with international law, particularly UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award. The Philippines will not be deterred from exercising our legal rights over our maritime zones, including Akungin Shoal which forms part of our EEZ and continental shelf.

Philippine Coast Guard Continues Vigilant Patrol Amidst China Coast Guard’s Dangerous Maneuver The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel, BRP Cabra, remains steadfast in its mission to challenge the illegal patrol conducted by the China Coast Guard vessel 3302. Despite continuous radio communications from the PCG asserting the illegitimacy of these actions, the China Coast Guard continues to claim that it is engaged in lawful maritime operations. Significantly, the presence of BRP Cabra has effectively pushed the China Coast Guard vessel further away, now located approximately 92-96 nautical miles off the coast of Capones Island. This demonstrates the PCG's commitment to safeguarding Philippine maritime interests and preventing the normalization of unlawful activities by the People’s Republic of China in the West Philippine Sea. Furthermore, it is important to note that the China Coast Guard vessel 3302 has engaged in reckless and dangerous maneuvers, displaying a blatant disregard for safety. An alarming incident this afternoon involved an attempted head-on collision with the smaller PCG vessel, raising concerns about the China Coast Guard's adherence to the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREGs), of which they are a signatory. It is only through the seamanship skills and professionalism of the crew of BRP Cabra that such collision was narrowly averted. Despite these provocative actions, the PCG maintains a composed and professional approach, prioritizing safety and the prevention of any untoward incidents. PCG Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, continues to emphasize to the PCG sailors deployed in the West Philippine Sea the importance of asserting Philippine sovereignty and sovereign rights without escalating tensions. This directive aligns with the explicit guidance of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., reinforcing the commitment of the PCG to uphold national interests while maintaining peace in the West Philippine Sea.

Aggressive and Unsafe Maneuvers by Chinese Vessels Near Bajo de Masinloc On 5 May 2025, the Philippine Navy’s BRP Emilio Jacinto (PS35), while conducting routine and lawful maritime patrol operations in support of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), encountered aggressive and unsafe maneuvers by two Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA-N) vessels Jiangkai II-class frigates (Type 054A) with bow numbers 554 and 573, and a China Coast Guard vessel 5403. The incident occurred approximately 11.8 nautical miles southeast of Bajo de Masinloc. The Chinese frigate BN 554 was documented tailing PS35 at close range, while BN 573 dangerously crossed its bow in a high-risk maneuver that created the danger of collision. China Coast Guard vessel 5403 also attempted to obstruct PS35’s navigational path. These reckless actions not only posed a direct threat to the safety of navigation of PS35, but also violated the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). The Armed Forces of the Philippines expresses its serious concern over these irresponsible actions by Chinese maritime forces. Such threatening and provocative conduct can lead to misunderstanding that may escalate tensions and impact regional stability. We commend the professionalism, discipline and restraint of the Philippine Navy personnel aboard BRP Emilio Jacinto. The AFP remains steadfast in defending the sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction of the Philippines in its vast maritime domain, including its territorial seas in the West Philippine Sea, in accordance with international and domestic law and in pursuit of the rules-based order in the maritime domain./// #AFPyoucanTRUST #OneAFPOnePhilippines #StrongAFPStrongPhilippines #OurSeasOurRightsOurFuture

The decision to expose the illegal presence of the People’s Republic of China’s floating, movable platform is not only about being transparent with the Filipino people and countering China’s lies. It is also meant to inform the international community, like-minded states, and our allies and friends that China is once again violating UNCLOS, undermining the rules-based order, and jeopardizing the peace and prosperity of this region. Because if we choose to stay silent — if we choose to look away from such unlawful acts — we only embolden the bully, convincing it that it can do whatever it pleases simply because it has the military and economic might to silence the rest of us. But the Philippines will not be silenced. We choose to stand up to bullies!

PCG Monitors and Challenges Chinese Coast Guard Vessels in Batanes Waters The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has been actively monitoring three Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels (3304, 3301, and 4304) in the waters off Batanes since yesterday, following their detection by Canada’s Dark Vessel Detection system. In light of their irregular movements, the PCG deployed an aircraft to conduct Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) patrols in the northern region to challenge and document the CCG vessels’ movements. The PCG Islander departed from Manila at 6:00 AM today, en route to the northernmost province of the Philippines. Upon locating the CCG-4304, the crew issued radio challenges, emphasizing that the vessel lacks legal authority to operate within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), approximately 75 nautical miles west off the coast of Sabtang, Batanes. Unfortunately, the CCG vessel did not respond. Consequently, adverse weather conditions and the distance to the other two CCG vessels (3304 and 3301) prevented the aircraft from reaching their locations. The leadership of the PCG remains resolute and is prepared to deploy additional resources should the CCG vessels continue their presence or approach closer the Batanes coastline. The PCG is committed to protecting Philippine waters and will take necessary measures against any violations of the nation's maritime jurisdiction.
