Full report:

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.

(The Philippines by law addresses the part of the South China Sea that's covered by the country's Exclusive Economic Zone as the West Philippine Sea, to counter China's narrative that the whole of the South China Sea belongs to them because it has China on its name.)

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.
