Chinese vessels are still sailing in Philippine waters, with dozens of suspected maritime militia and coast guard ships spotted in the vicinity of Pag-asa Island, according to local authorities.
In a statement on Saturday, the Philippine Coast Guard said its personnel spotted a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel, a Chinese Coast Guard ship, and some 42 suspected Chinese maritime militia anchored near the area.
Pag-asa, internationally known as Thitu Island, is considered by Manila as part of Palawan province — a claim Beijing contests. It added that officials will continue to carry out patrols in the West Philippine Sea despite these incursions.Meanwhile, the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that negotiations on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea will resume next week.
"The meeting will continue the negotiation and deliberation on the single negotiated text of the COC," Daza said.
