CHINESE military and paramilitary ships continued to loiter in the waters of the Kalayaan Island Group , the Philippine Coast Guard reported on Thursday as it challenged the incursions.
“During its MARPAT mission, BRP Malapascua spotted several foreign-flagged vessels—including a number of China Coast Guard Vessels [CCGVs] and a People’s Liberation Army-Navy [PLAN] Type 056A Jiangdao II Class Missile Corvette,” It said. On Pag-asa Island, Malapascua encountered a PLAN vessel with bow number 649 within Pag-asa’s 12-nautical-mile territorial waters.
However, the CCGV 5201 instead “proceeded to shadow BRP Malapascua at a distance of approximately 1,600 yards.”
