After driving away a Chinese research ship off the cays of Pag-asa Island over the weekend, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Tuesday, May 19, confronted a China Coast Guard (CCG) ship that entered the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coast of Zambales.
The PCG said the CCG ship with bow number “4305” was monitored drifting about 48 nautical miles west of Pandaquit, Zambales through Canada’s Dark Vessel Detection (DVD) Program. (Video courtesy of Philippine Coast Guard)
