Video of the encounter between China Coast Guard & Philippine Navy at Ayungin Shoal on June 17, 2024

WATCH: The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Wednesday, June 19, released a more elaborate video of Chinese Coast Guard’s recent harassment against the Philippine Navy soldiers conducting a rotation and resupply mission at the BRP Sierra Madre at Ayungin Shoal on Monday, June 17.

Despite being outnumbered, the Filipino troops displayed valiant effort to defend their position and remain committed to upholding international law and peace.

“We saw in video how the Chinese even threatened our personnel but pointing their knives despite this, lumaban po ang ating mga sundalo, lumaban with their bare hands. Makikita ninyo po, tinutulak nila iyong RHIB [rigid-hull inflatable boat] ng Chinese Coast Guard palabas. Palayo. They were preventing the Chinese Coast Guard from hitting them,” AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr. said during a visit to the headquarters of Western Command in Palawan on June 19.

“For me this is piracy. Piracy because they boarded our boats illegally. They got our equipment. Again, parang mga pirata na po sila sa mga ginawa nilang actions dito,” he added.

Despite the incident, General Brawner said the mission will still continue.

“That is our obligation and that is our right. We will not leave Ayungin Shoal,” he concluded. - MNP

Di ako pwede maging sundalo....di ko kayang tiisin ganung sitwasyon. Salute to our uniformed officers in showing AMAZING TOLERANCE amidst of such provocative situation. May God always protect from these bunch of bullies CCGs.

It's not right to take the supplies for our soldiers guarding our territory, this is rude and disrespectful to the sovereignty of the oceans... go ahead, Pinoy troops, let's fight for our rights, don't be afraid and let's fight for it...

[the_sinner]

Our troops should be allowed to defend themselves. This should NEVER be allowed to happen again. Wika nga, "magkamatayan na!"

[kuyapabzcapacite]

Mas mabuti idaan parin sa pag uusap ng China at Philippines para sana walang away. Walang panalo sa digmaan. Buhay ang nakataya sa ating mga sundalo at sa ating lahat na mga Filipino.

[victormoscoso]

Tama Yung advice ni Sir Ping e review Ang treaty patulong tayu sa US mg resupply tingnan natin kung Anu magawa Ng China

[benjsj]

All soldiers to be deployed there in Ayungin should learn to speak basic Chinese, so they can converse during this kind of incident or 1 translator at least on board. It's hard to argue when you can't express yourself. What a pity.
