BRP Teresa Magbanua Sustains Vigilance Against China Coast Guard Illegal Presence
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel, BRP Teresa Magbanua (MRRV-9701), remains deployed in the vicinity where the Chinese Coast Guard vessel 3304 is illegally sailing, approximately 70-80 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales. This unwavering presence is in compliance with the standing policy direction of His Excellency President
@bongbongmarcos
aimed at thwarting the normalization and legitimization of the Chinese Coast Guard’s illegal actions, which may lead to assertions of control over these waters.
Moreover, the continued vigilance of BRP Teresa Magbanua serves as a proactive measure to ensure that Filipino fishermen can carry out their activities without the threat of harassment or intimidation. The deployment of the PCG’s white ship underscores a commitment to monitoring and maintaining a visible presence to deter illegal activities by the Chinese Coast Guard while adhering to principles of restraint and non-provocation.
