For context, Bajo de Masinloc is a triangular coral reef/atoll located approximately 124 nautical miles west of Luzon in the Philippines and 448 nautical miles from mainland China. Under the 2016 arbitral award, it is classified as a rock that generates only a 12-nautical-mile territorial sea, with no entitlement...

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.

PCG Challenges China Coast Guard Vessel Loitering Off the Coast of Luzon The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed BRP MALABRIGO (MRRV-4402) since 20 June 2026 to challenge and drive away the China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 5304 operating within the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). As of today, BRP MALABRIGO has radio-challenged CCG-5304 numerous times but CCG vessel did not respond to any of these challenges. During a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight this morning, the PCG Britten-Norman Islander aircraft (PCG-251) flew over the location of CCG-5304, observed approximately 45.5 nautical miles west of Iba, Zambales. CCG-5304 has been loitering in the maritime area between 27.0 and 45.0 nautical miles west of Luzon since 16 June 2026. Its northernmost track approached as close as 27.29 nautical miles off Burgos, Ilocos Sur, while its southernmost track reached approximately 30.0 nautical miles off Capones Island. As of this evening, the vessel was observed 43.0 nautical miles west of Cabangan, Zambales. It is worth noting that the movement pattern indicates that CCG-5304 is likely patrolling along the limits of China’s unlawfully claimed sea areas in the West Philippine Sea, as demarcated by its illegal nine- or ten-dash line — claims that were invalidated by the 2016 Arbitral Award. The PCG remains steadfast in upholding the Philippines’ sovereign rights and jurisdiction within its maritime zones. We will continue to maintain our presence and conduct lawful patrols to ensure the safety of our maritime domain and protect the rights of our Filipino fisherfolk. The PCG, under the leadership of Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan, remains committed to transparency in exposing the illegal and aggressive activities of China in the West Philippine Sea.

Despite the United States being the Philippines' oldest treaty ally, it never interfered in the maritime disputes in the South China Sea. The US calling out the People's Republic of China's barbaric, illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions in the West Philippine Sea is a principled move. Every law abiding nation is expected to stand for what is right and lawful. It strains logic to suggest that ordinary Filipino fishermen on wooden boats are somehow "organized and orchestrated" and can be provocative vis-a-vis the massive, armed and steel-hulled China Coast Guard vessels. Common sense alone debunks this narrative: how could unarmed fishermen realistically threaten or provoke such heavily equipped forces? Moreover, claims that Filipino fishermen were carrying knives are contradicted by evidence showing CCG vessels firing water cannons at close range, injuring three fishermen, damaging boats, and deliberately cutting the anchor lines of Philippine fishing vessels—endangering lives and livelihoods. The international community is well aware of these facts and will not be misled by propaganda portraying the Philippines as the aggressor. On China's assertion of "indisputable sovereignty" over Escoda Shoal, one must question the accuracy of Beijing's nautical charts: the feature is a low-tide elevation that is well within the Philippines' EEZ, approximately 75-95 nautical miles from Palawan. It is over 600 nautical miles—or up to 1,200 km—from China's nearest landmass. If China refuses to recognize the 2016 Arbitral Award invalidating its expansive claims, it should at least honor its commitments under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea—a treaty it has ratified—that says LTE’s are not subject to territorial sovereignty. By the way, here is your Chinese Maritime Militia pretending to be a civilian fishing vessel also using water cannon against a Filipino wooden fishing boat as they escape the China Coast Guard vessels dangerous harassment last weekend. Finally, thank you for admitting committing illegal actions branding it as “necessary control measures.” ✌🏻

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.

China Coast Guard Harasses BFAR Vessels While Distributing Supplies to Filipino Fishermen in Panatag Shoal In support of the “Bagong Pilipinas” vision for food security and national development, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) deployed four vessels—BRP Datu Tamblot, BRP Datu Taradapit, BRP Datu Bankaya, and BRP Datu Daya—along with personnel from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to Panatag Shoal this morning. The mission aimed to protect the rights and safety of Filipino fishermen in the area. Upon arrival, BFAR distributed fuel subsidies to over 20 local fishing boats, highlighting the national government's commitment to the Filipino fishing community. However, at approximately 10:00 AM, BRP Datu Taradapit faced aggressive maneuvers from the Chinese Coast Guard vessel CCG-4203, which approached within 600 yards and fired a water cannon from 15.6 nautical miles southwest of Panatag Shoal. Despite these aggressive actions, including blocking maneuvers and a water cannon attack that briefly struck the port quarter of BRP Datu Taradapit, the vessel adeptly maneuvered away to avoid significant damage. At 10:30 AM, CCG-3105 targeted BRP Datu Tamblot with a water cannon from a distance of 18.1 nautical miles southeast of the shoal, but the attack missed its mark. Throughout the operation, six China Coast Guard vessels, two PLA Navy warships, and multiple Chinese maritime militia vessels were monitored, all of which aimed to obstruct BFAR’s efforts to provide support and subsidies to Filipino fishermen. It is crucial to emphasize that the operations conducted by BFAR vessels are within the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines. Filipino fishermen have sovereign rights to exploit resources in these waters, particularly for fishing. The presence of BFAR and PCG vessels is fully aligned with the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the 2016 Arbitral Award. Despite the unprofessional and illegal actions of the Chinese Coast Guard, which endangered Filipino crew members and fishermen, BFAR vessels remained resolute in their mission to protect local fishing boats. The BFAR and PCG reaffirm their commitment to safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of Filipino fishermen and will continue legitimate operations in Panatag Shoal.

PCG Takes Action Against Illegal Swarming by Chinese Maritime Militia In response to reports of illegal swarming by Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) in Rozul Reef, the Commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed two PCG vessels and an aircraft yesterday to investigate the situation. Upon arrival at Rozul Reef, the PCG confirmed the presence of over 50 CMM vessels, both scattered and clustered together. The PCG vessels and aircraft promptly challenged these vessels via radio, notifying them that they were operating within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), approximately 130 nautical miles off the coast of Palawan. The PCG emphasized that the irregular patterns of movement, along with their anchoring and swarming activities, violate the principles of freedom of navigation and infringe upon the sovereign rights of the Philippines in its EEZ. The Chinese Maritime Militia vessels were directed to clarify their intentions, cease their swarming behaviors, and navigate in accordance with the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the 2016 Arbitral Award. Unfortunately, no response was received from the CMM vessels. To ensure accurate documentation of the situation, the PCG deployed their RHIBs (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats) to approach the CMM vessels in the shallow waters of Rozul Reef and record their bow numbers. The Philippine Coast Guard remains committed to safeguarding the country's maritime jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. It continues to monitor and address any unauthorized activities within our Exclusive Economic Zone in accordance with the policy direction of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. of not surrendering a square inch of our territory to any foreign power through resolute but non-escalatory actions based on international law.

PCG DEPLOYS VESSELS AND AIRCRAFT TO BAJO DE MASINLOC IN RESPONSE TO CHINESE HARASSMENT Following reports of harassment by Chinese Coast Guard vessels and the Chinese Maritime Militia against Filipino fishermen on March 17, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), in close coordination with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), has immediately deployed surface vessels to Bajo de Masinloc (BDM). The mission is to ensure the safety and security of Filipino fishermen and to deliver essential support, including fuel subsidies, ice, and food packs. Fishermen who witnessed the incidents have documented dangerous maneuvers by Chinese Coast Guard vessels 21605, 3107, and 3103, as well as Chinese Maritime Militia vessels. These actions included the repeated use of sirens and the launching of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) specifically intended to drive Filipino fishermen away and prevent them from exercising their legitimate right to fish in Bajo de Masinloc. This morning, PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan directed the deployment of a PCG aircraft for a Maritime Domain Awareness flight over BDM. The flight confirmed a significant presence of both Filipino fishermen and Chinese maritime forces in the area. The aircraft documented the five (5) Chinese Coast Guard vessels, three (3) People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels, and two (2) Chinese Maritime Militia vessels. It also verified the presence of more than twenty (20) Filipino fishing boats operating in the vicinity of BDM, along with the continued presence of yellow buoys installed by China since last year. During the flight, the PCG aircraft actively challenged the illegal presence of CCG and PLAN vessels in Philippine waters. Notably, this was the first time a People’s Liberation Army Air Force asset challenged a PCG aircraft. The aircraft further documented the PCG and BFAR surface vessels currently en route to respond to the ongoing Chinese aggression. The Philippine Coast Guard remains steadfast in upholding President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s commitment to ensuring the safety and welfare of Filipino fishermen. Despite the challenges posed by China’s numerous larger vessels, the dedicated men and women of the PCG stand resolute in their mission to safeguard our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea peacefully in accordance with national and international law including the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award.

DEFENDING BAJO DE MASINLOC: PH RADIO CHALLENGE VS CHINESE INTRUDERS IN OUR EEZ On 11 December 2025, a BFAR Cessna with a Philippine Coast Guard team flew a maritime domain awareness patrol over Bajo de Masinloc—just 124 nautical miles from Zambales, clearly inside our 200-nautical mile EEZ. From the air, they spotted at least six China Coast Guard ships, three PLA Navy vessels, and several maritime militia boats clustered around the shoal, seemingly blocking Philippine vessels bringing fuel, ice, and assistance to our fishers. Then came the radio clash. A Chinese warship claimed “violated sovereignty” and ordered the aircraft to leave. The response was calm and firm: this was a Philippine government aircraft on a lawful patrol within the PH EEZ, far beyond any legitimate Chinese limit—“please review your chart.” Beijing wants this wall of ships and scripted messages to feel normal, as if Filipinos must ask permission to fish in their own waters. But international law and the 2016 Arbitral Ruling are clear: Bajo de Masinloc lies within the Philippines’ maritime entitlements. When you see posts calling this a “routine Chinese patrol” or blaming our crews, ask who that story serves. Check the facts and stand with those defending Bajo de Masinloc. 🇵🇭✈️🌊 #BRPSierraMadre #WestPhilippineSea #DefendOurSea #UNCLOS #RuleOfLaw #Philippines #StayInformed #StandFirm #ServiceForTheNation #EvidenceSpeaks

PCG and BFAR Conduct Routine MDA Flight Over BDM The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), in coordination with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), conducted a routine Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight over Bajo de Masinloc on February 6, 2026, utilizing a BFAR aircraft. At approximately 10:00 a.m., while the aircraft was positioned 81.42 nautical miles northeast of Bajo de Masinloc (equivalent to 45.08 nautical miles southwest of Agno, Pangasinan), it received 28 radio challenges from People’s Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) vessel hull number 553. The Philippine crew responded professionally to each challenge, asserting that the routine MDA flight was conducted in full accordance with international law. The aircraft arrived over Bajo de Masinloc at 10:30 a.m. and performed circling maneuvers at approximately 6,000 feet. During the patrol, the crew observed: - An unidentified fighter jet at coordinates 15°09.228′ N, 117°41.565′ E, approximately 1.79 nautical miles west of Bajo de Masinloc; - One Chinese floating buoy inside the lagoon of Bajo de Masinloc; and - Another Chinese floating buoy approximately 2 nautical miles northwest of Bajo de Masinloc. The PCG and BFAR will continue to conduct regular and lawful maritime patrols to ensure the safety and security of Filipino fishermen and to assert the Philippines’ sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisidiction in the West Philippine Sea.

PCG Deploys BRP Cabra to Challenge CCG-3105 and Assist Distressed Fishermen Since last night, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has directed the Multi Role Response Vessel (MRRV-4409), BRP Cabra, off the coast of Zambales to challenge the presence of a China Coast Guard vessel located approximately 75.9 nautical miles from Palauig Point. This operation highlights the PCG's commitment to asserting Philippine sovereign rights within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the 2016 Arbitral Award, and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act. Despite facing challenging sea conditions with wave heights ranging from 8 to 10 feet, the 44-meter vessel continuously engaged the China Coast Guard 3105, emphasizing its lack of legal authority to patrol within Philippine waters but did not receive any response. In a separate incident later that day, while on patrol, BRP Cabra received a distress call from the Filipino fishing boat, FFB John John, which was experiencing engine trouble about 40.35 nautical miles southeast of Bajo De Masinloc. Swiftly responding to the situation, the crew of BRP Cabra navigated through challenging weather conditions to reach the distressed vessel. At 1 PM, BRP Cabra successfully arrived at the location of the fishing boat and is now towing it safely back to Subic Port, Zambales. This maritime patrol operation highlights the unwavering dedication of the Philippine Coast Guard to safeguard national maritime interests and ensure the safety of Filipino fishermen, even in adverse weather conditions. The actions of BRP Cabra and its crew reflect the commitment of the PCG to uphold the directive of the President, reinforcing the Philippines' rights in the West Philippine Sea.
