MANILA, Philippines — The Chinese militia vessels found near Pag-asa Island in the West Philippine Sea are not responding to the challenges and warnings issued by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). This was revealed by PCG spokesman Commodore Jay Tarriela following the reported presence of a People's Liberation (PLA) Navy vessel, China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, and Chinese maritime militia (CMM) vessels. 'Ang Coast Guard station natin sa Pag-asa ay patuloy pong tsina-challenge ito over the radio, na sinasabi na ang 12 nautical miles ng Pag-asa Island ay territorial sea ng Pilipinas at tayo ay may sovereignty rito,' he said in a public briefing.
