“That was the China Coast Guard telling us to get out of Ayungin or Second Thomas. Pity the Filipino fishermen,” one of them said in the video, which further showed CCG 5204 still following Ken-Ken for some time, even after the fishing boat had left the shoal.
A news release posted on the PCG’s website describes the Chinese ship as a 102-m vessel whose “assets [included] water cannons used in firefighting assistance.” The PCG is also gathering more information which it said it will forward to the Department of Foreign Affairs.Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Tessie Daza told reporters on Saturday that the department is awaiting that report, after which it will “take the appropriate diplomatic action.”
