BRP Cabra Vigilantly Challenges Illegal Presence of the Chinese Coast Guard Vessels
In a demonstration of vigilant maritime patrol, the BRP Cabra successfully prevented China Coast Guard 3103 from getting closer to the coast of Zambales. The Philippine Coast Guard was able to push it away to a distance of 85-90 nautical miles from the coastline.
At 1 PM, CCG-3103 was replaced by a larger vessel, CCG-3304, likely with the intention of outmaneuvering the PCG vessel due to its size and speed.
The CCG-3304 measures an overall length of 111 meters and a width of 46 meters, making it significantly larger than its predecessor. Despite the imposing size of the CCG-3304, the PCG vessel continued to carry out hourly radio challenges, effectively notifying the CCG of its illegal presence in the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zone.
The unwavering commitment of the BRP Cabra underscores the Philippine Coast Guard’s dedication to its patriotic duty of protecting the nation’s maritime rights in the West Philippine Sea.
