A China Coast Guard ship directed a military-grade laser light at a Philippine Coast Guard vessel in Ayungin Shoal, West Philippine Sea recently, causing temporary blindness to a Filipino coast guardian.PCG spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo said CCG vessel with bow number 5205 pointed the laser light towards BRP Malapascua in Ayungin Shoal past 6 p.m. on Feb. 6 while it was supporting a rotation and resupply mission of the Philippine Navy .
The harassed PCG personnel is not named by Balilo. It was not also immediately clear whether the RoRe mission of the Navy for the crew of the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal pushed through.After this, the CCG vessel even made “dangerous maneuvers” as it approached BRP Malapascua’s starboard quarter at about 150 yards, Balilo stated.
This was not the first time that CCG vessels tried to stop PCG ships from sailing in the Ayungin Shoal, which is located 194 km from Palawan, to deliver food and other critical supplies for the troops stationed onboard BRP Sierra Madre.Back in August 2022, CCG vessel 5205 also prevented BRP Teresa Magbanua from coming close to Ayungin Shoal at a distance of 2.95 nautical miles to deliver supplies to the troops of BRP Sierra Madre.
