The Philippine Navy challenged what it branded as the Chinese Navy’s “illegal” conduct of unilateral drills off Escoda Sabina Shoal amid the Philippine Coast Guard’s persistent presence there.

Commodore Roy Vincent Trinidad, the Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, said the People’s Liberation Army-Navy launched hovercraft and aircraft and conducted maneuvers at sea on Sunday and Monday. “We were able to monitor and challenge all their actions in Sabina Shoal,” Trinidad said in a regular press briefing in Camp Aguinaldo.
