MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines will continue to insist on its “sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction over our territory” despite reports that the China Coast Guard recently
“blocked and water cannoned” Philippine supply boats in the West Philippine Sea, a Palace official said.
“As we have in the past, we will continue to assert our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction over our territory,” he added. Locsin said he has talked to Chinese ambassador Huang Xilian and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing to protest and denounce the incident.
