West Philippine Sea News

Despite hostilities by China toward Philippine forces in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippines will remain committed to promote peace and dialogue as it asserts sovereign rights over the region, National Security Adviser Eduardo Año said on Friday.

This frame grab from handout video footage taken on June 17, 2024 and released on June 25 by the Armed Forces of the Philippines shows Chinese Coast Guard personnel aboard rigid hull inflatable boats during a confrontation with Philippine Navy personnel on their respective vessels near the Second Thomas Shoal in disputed waters of the South China Sea.

Año said the Philippines would continue working on “rebuilding a conducive environment for peaceful dialogue and consultations,” particularly with China. Año attended the thanksgiving dinner for West Philippine Sea transparency partners held onboard the Philippine Coast Guard ’s second Japanese-made 97-meter patrol vessel BRP Melchora Aquino docked at Pier 13 in Manila on Friday.
