Philippines spits fire over prolonged presence of Chinese vessels in South China Sea

In strongly worded condemnation of the activities of China at this area,
Duterte’s spokesman , Harry Roque, echoed the view and told a news conference: “We will not give up even a single inch of our national territory or our exclusive economic zone (EEZ).”
China’s embassy in Manila has kept mute on the incident.
His refusal to press China to respect a landmark 2016 arbitral ruling that clarified the Philippines sovereign rights in its EEZ has frustrated nationalists, who accused Duterte of gambling with territory in return for elusive Chinese investmentd
Duterte has previously said challenging China was pointless and risked starting a war.
The Philippines last month filed a diplomatic protest over a “swarming and threatening” presence of 220 Chinese vessels it believed to be manned by militias at Whitsun Reef, a stance backed by ally the United States.
It said the boats “blatantly infringe” on Philippine jurisdiction.
Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, China and Vietnam also have competing claims for islands and features in the area.
Panelo also said the Philippines would not be blinded by China’s humanitarian gestures, referring to millions of COVID-19 vaccines donated by China.
