Even after several months of statements and interviews hyping communication mechanisms to avoid “mishaps” in the West Philippine Sea, when it mattered the most on August 5, Beijing wasn’t there to answer the call.
The Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs , in its note verbale or formal protest over an August 5 blocking and water cannoning incident in the South China Sea, “expressed disappointment” over not being able to reach its Chinese counterpart right away.
Chinese Ambassador to Manila Huang Xilian was summoned by Undersecretary Ma. Theresa Lazaro Monday morning or two days after China Coast Guard and Chinese militia ships tailed, blocked, then directed water cannons toward Philippine ships en route to Ayungin Shoal for a resupply mission. The Chinese vessels were relentless in blocking the PCG boat and the commissioned “indigenous” boat, preventing half of the supplies from reaching Ayungin Shoal, where a grounded warship serves as the Philippines’ outpost in the West Philippine Sea.
