Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 3) — The country has filed two diplomatic protests against China, including one for the illegal presence of the Chinese Coast Guard and their "belligerent" actions against their Filipino counterpart in Bajo de Masinloc, the Department of Foreign Affairs said on Monday.
The DFA said it has objected to the "shadowing, blocking, dangerous maneuver, and radio challenges" done by the Chinese Coast Guard on the vessels of the Philippine Coast Guard who were conducting legitimate patrols and training exercises in the vicinity of Bajo de Masinloc from April 24 and 25.
