Today, the Philippine Coast Guard again assisted in the routine Rotation and Resupply (RoRe) mission in Ayungin Shoal conducted by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The PCG deployed two 44-meter vessels, namely BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) and BRP Sindangan (MRRV-4407), as escort ships for the resupply boats. The routine RoRe mission was again subjected to dangerous maneuvers by the four China Coast Guard (CCG 21616, CCG 21551, CCG 21556, and CCG 5305) and four Chinese Maritime Militia (QIONG SANSHA YU 00231, QIONG SANSHA YU 00115, QIONG SANSHA YU 00114, and QIONG SANSHA YU 00008), jeopardizing the crew members' safety aboard the PCG vessels and Philippine resupply boats. Despite the challenging circumstances brought about by the illegal presence and activities of the CCG and CMM in our exclusive economic zone, the mission was carried out successfully. The much-needed supplies were delivered to our dedicated troops aboard the BRP Sierra Madre. The PCG stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the AFP in our shared commitment to safeguarding our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisdiction in accordance with international law, particularly the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Award and other relevant international instruments, including the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). The PCG calls upon the CCG and CMM to immediately cease any illegal activities within the maritime zones of the Philippines. Doing so can foster a stable, secure, and rules-based maritime order conducive to regional cooperation and peace. Under the leadership of the Commandant, Coast Guard Admiral Artemio Abu, the PCG supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call, made during the recent ASEAN Summit, for the Southeast Asian nations to unite against the use of coast guard and maritime militia vessels in the South China Sea to pursue claims inconsistent with international law.

BRP Teresa Magbanua Maintains Firm Presence and Issues Radio Challenges Against Illegal Chinese Coast Guard Incursion in West Philippine Sea The Philippine Coast Guard’s flagship multi-role response vessel, BRP Teresa Magbanua (MRRV-9701), continues its sustained deployment near the China Coast Guard vessel 4305, which is located approximately 42.77 nautical miles southeast of Bajo De Masinloc and 103.15 nautical miles southwest of Capones Island, Zambales. Under the orders of PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan and in full alignment with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s policy, BRP Teresa Magbanua is actively conducting radio challenges to CCG 4305, firmly asserting that its illegal presence in the area constitutes a clear violation of the 2016 Arbitral Award, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act. These radio challenges underscore the Philippines’ unwavering commitment to defending its sovereign rights and jurisdiction within its exclusive economic zone, as affirmed by the 2016 Arbitral Award that invalidated China’s excessive maritime claims. The visible and resolute presence of BRP Teresa Magbanua also reassures Filipino fishermen of the government’s steadfast support, enabling them to fish safely and freely without fear of harassment, intimidation, or interference. Through its professional, rules-based, and restrained maritime patrol—including persistent radio challenges—the Philippine Coast Guard complies to the directive of the President to continue to uphold maritime law, safeguard national sovereignty, and promote peace and stability in the West Philippine Sea without escalation.

The 2016 Arbitral Award is one of the Philippines’ greatest legal and diplomatic achievements. But whether it remains relevant ten years from now will depend on what we choose to do with it today. It was a privilege to join over 400 friends, partners, and colleagues from government, academia, think tanks, civil society, the diplomatic community, the private sector, and the media at the National West Philippine Sea Summit commemorating the 10th anniversary of the South China Sea Arbitral Award. My special thanks to Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro (Department of National Defense - Philippines) and National Security Adviser Eduardo Oban (National Security Council) for their clear-eyed and insightful keynote addresses, which underscored the importance of cascading knowledge, strengthening public understanding, and building national resolve in defending our maritime rights and interests. I also extend my sincere appreciation to WPS Foundation and Dr Jeffrey Ordaniel for convening a truly national and multi-sectoral commemoration. Indeed, this celebration does not belong behind closed doors. This belongs to the Filipino people. And so does the responsibility to preserve, defend, and pass on the legacy of the 2016 Arbitral Award to future generations.

On July 12, 2016, the Philippines secured a landmark legal victory. The Arbitral Award affirmed that China's sweeping claims in the West Philippine Sea have no legal basis under international law and clarified the Philippines' maritime rights. Yet China continues to reject the ruling while its actions at sea persist. The law has not changed, only the attempts to distort it. Don't let propaganda replace facts. Expose false narratives. Share verified information. Stand with the rule of law and help ensure that the truth about the West Philippine Sea is heard. The battle for our seas is also a battle for the truth. #BRPSierraMadre #WestPhilippineSea #ArbitralAward #RuleOfLaw #UNCLOS #StandForTruth #CounterDisinformation #KnowTheFacts #Philippines

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
