BFAR Aircraft with PCG personnel Completes Maritime Domain Awareness Flights in Bajo De Masinloc The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) together with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) successfully conducted Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flights using aircraft RP-1077, departing from Subic Airport. The mission focused on monitoring the Philippine Government vessels providing fuel subsidies and food packs to fishing boats in the Bajo de Masinloc (BDM) area. Upon arrival at approximately 0940H this morning, the aircraft monitored four BFAR vessels and two PCG vessels, as well as around twenty-six fishing boats. Additionally, five China Coast Guard vessels and one People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA-N) vessel were observed in the vicinity. Following a second sortie at 1228H, the aircraft confirmed a floating barrier at the southeastern entrance of BDM and detected an unidentified PLA-Naval Air Force helicopter nearby. The mission underscored BFAR and PCG’s commitment to maritime safety and support for Filipino fishermen.

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 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.

PCG AND BFAR DEPLOY VESSELS TO PROTECT FILIPINO FISHERMEN FROM CHINESE HARASSMENT IN BAJO DE MASINLOC In response to continued harassment by Chinese Coast Guard vessels against more than 20 Filipino fishing boats last weekend, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) immediately deployed two PCG vessels and five fishery patrol vessels to Bajo de Masinloc. The joint PCG-BFAR deployment ensured the safety and security of the Filipino fishermen while delivering vital support, including fuel subsidies, food packs, and ice to extend their fishing operations and help offset rising fuel costs. PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan also directed the deployment of the PCG Caravan for a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight over the area. The flight documented six China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, 20 China Maritime Militia (CMM) vessels, and one People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy) warship in the vicinity. This operation marks a significant first: the PCG has documented the China Coast Guard vessel announcing via live radio broadcast its intention to conduct a clearing operation at the following coordinates: - Point A: 15°05'N, 118°10'E - Point B: 15°05'N, 118°25'E - Point C: 14°14'N, 118°25'E - Point D: 14°14'N, 118°10'E The Philippine Coast Guard remains steadfast in its full support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s commitment to defend Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. In line with the President’s vision, the PCG will continue to uphold international law and protect the rights, safety, and livelihoods of Filipino fishermen from external threats and harassment.

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.

Statement of the Philippine Coast Guard “CCG ILLEGALLY BLOCKS PCG HUMANITARIAN MISSION” Today, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) undertook a humanitarian mission involving the BRP Cabra and BRP Cape Engaño, aimed at delivering vital food and supplies to our personnel stationed aboard the BRP Teresa Magbanua, on extended patrol in Escoda Shoal. Unfortunately, during this mission, the People's Republic of China (PRC) deployed an excessive force comprised of a total of forty (40) vessels including six (6) Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, three (3) People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships, in an attempt to obstruct our lawful humanitarian operation. There were also thirty-one (31) Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) Vessels in the vicinity waters of Escoda Shoal. Such actions resulted in our two 44-meter Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRV) being unable to safely deliver essential supplies, including a special ice cream treat from the Commandant in honor of National Heroes’ Day. The PCG remains steadfast in our commitment to uphold national interests and ensure the safety and security of our waters. We urge the China Coast Guard to abide with the international law and stop deploying maritime forces that could undermine mutual respect, a universally recognized foundation for responsible and friendly relations among Coast Guards. The PCG recognizes that white hulls are unique instruments of diplomacy that promotes peace and maintain harmony and stability in the region.

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.

Philippine Coast Guard Successfully Removes Hazardous Floating Barrier in Compliance with Presidential Instruction In compliance with the instruction of the President, the Chairman, National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS), Sec. Eduardo Año, has directed the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to execute a special operation to remove the floating barrier that obstructed the Southeast entrance of Bajo De Masinloc (BDM). The barrier posed a hazard to navigation, a clear violation of international law. It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk in BDM, which is an integral part of the Philippine national territory. The 2016 Arbitral Award has affirmed that BDM is the traditional fishing ground of Filipino fishermen. Thus, any obstruction hindering the livelihoods of Filipino fisherfolk in the shoal violates the international law. It also infringes on the Philippines' sovereignty over BDM. The decisive action of the PCG to remove the barrier aligns with international law and the Philippines’ sovereignty over the shoal. The PCG remains committed to upholding international law, safeguarding the welfare of Filipino fisherfolk, and protecting the rights of the Philippines in its territorial waters.

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.

This afternoon, in a clear and deliberate act of bullying, Chinese forces fired flares directly at Philippine Coast Guard Caravan aircraft while we were conducting routine Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flights over the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG). The provocative incidents occurred specifically at Panganiban Reef and Zamora Reefs, where our PCG aircraft were operating peacefully to monitor maritime activities and ensure the safety of our waters. These reckless and aggressive actions by China represent yet another escalation in their campaign of intimidation and harassment. By targeting unarmed PCG aircraft with flares, Beijing is not only violating established international aviation safety norms and the spirit of regional peace but is also directly endangering the lives of personnel on board. The Chinese forces also issued radio transmissions during the incidents, brazenly claiming “indisputable sovereignty” over these areas—referring to their own illegally reclaimed and militarized bases in the West Philippine Sea. These assertions have no basis in international law, as affirmed by the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal ruling, and serve only to mask China’s expansionist agenda and repeated violations of international law.

PCG and BFAR Deploy Assets to Support Filipino Fishermen in BDM and Escoda Shoal The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), in collaboration with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), has been actively deployed in Bajo de Masinloc and Escoda Shoal since yesterday. The primary objective is to ensure the safety and security of Filipino fishermen in these areas while distributing fuel, ice, and food packs to extend their fishing operations as part of the Kadiwa para sa Bagong Bayaning Mangingisda (KBBM) Program. Yesterday morning, the PCG monitored a group of fishermen being harassed and prevented from fishing near Bajo de Masinloc by Chinese Maritime Militia vessels and Chinese Coast Guard vessels 3103 and 3303. In response, the PCG vessel BRP Cabra, along with ten (10) BFAR vessels, were immediately dispatched to rendezvous with more than 30 Filipino fishing vessels. Upon arrival, the Filipino fishing boats received fuel subsidies and expressed gratitude to the national government for the support. Notably, the fishermen also reported an unidentified drone flying overhead, seemingly documenting their activities. Additionally, both the PCG and BFAR confirmed that Starlink connections are disconnected upon entering within 12 nautical miles of Bajo de Masinloc. In Escoda Shoal, Filipino fishing boats contacted the PCG vessel to report harassment by Chinese Maritime Militia and Chinese Coast Guard vessels 4203 and 5303, which prevented them from continuing their fishing activities. The PCG vessel BRP Cape Engaño proceeded to their location to provide security. As of this update, the PCG vessel remains in the vicinity to ensure the Filipino fishing boats are not harassed and are safely protected. PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan reiterated his commitment that the primary priority of PCG vessels deployed in these areas is to promote peace, stability and rule of law, while fulfilling the goverment’s responsibility to safeguard Filipino fishermen. This is in furtherance of the standing guidance of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., to assert the nation's rights firmly without provocation, while prioritizing the protection of our fishermen.
