@sabatech_pr It’s not Chinese media..
They are Chinese state sponsored propaganda pretending as “Chinese media”
A.K.A trolls and fake news peddlers.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW — 1st-ever US Coast Guard-Philippine Coast Guard joint patrol challenging PRC's exclusion zone at Scarborough Shoal
🇺🇸🇵🇭 For what appears to be the 1st time, a @USCG cutter is operating directly alongside the @coastguardph in a joint presence operation challenging Beijing's exclusion zone around #ScarboroughShoal (Bajo de Masinloc).
🛰️ Automatic Identification System tracking data from @StarboardIntel shows the USCG cutter Midgett sortieing from Manila Bay on 28 May alongside PCG cutter BRP Melchora Aquino & taking station on the western approaches to the shoal starting yesterday, 29 May and holding roughly 35-40 nm out.
🇵🇭 Also visible in the operation are PCG patrol vessel BRP Cabra & Bureau of Fisheries & Aquatic Resources BRP Datu Pagbuaya (now returning to Manila Bay, followed closely by CCG 21563). History suggests others may also be involved but operating "AIS-dark".
🇨🇳 Arrayed against them is a layered Chinese paramilitary cordon: at least 9 CCG cutters are visible on AIS forming an outer picket line 20-40nm from the shoal, while at least 7 large militia vessels are visible forming an inner cordon 5-17nm out.
🇨🇳 Past experience strongly suggests PLA Navy vessels (not visible on AIS) are also in the area, but will likely keep their distance to ensure no repeats of the disastrous 11 August 2025 "friendly fire" collision near Scarborough.
🤝 This direct involvement by the USCG in a Philippine challenge to China's maritime aggression inside the West Philippine Sea is a significant step forward for the alliance.
🎩 Hat-tip: thanks to friend-of-SeaLight @supbrow for tipping this to @GordianKnotRay!

🚨UNMASKING ILUSYUNADANG PALAKA, CECE! (@MamaPiaya)🐸🚫
Bago tayo mag-dive sa “unmasking”, let’s talk about your questionable life choices:
Hindi ka lang basta rabid DDS troll; you actually had the audacity to support the libelous posts of that DDS Laila Friala AGAINST ME.
Girl, did you know na pinaalis na nga si DDS Laila Friala sa work nya sa Belgium for cyberbullying at may kaso pa syang multiple counts of cyberlibel, tapos kinampihan mo pa?
You really chose to be a cheerleader for a professional bully! What happened to your brain cells?
Dapat inalam mo muna kung totoo ang pinagkakalat niya bago ka sumawsaw!
Ikusyunada ka na, enabler pa!

@Sikakugouma As per interview with the Balikatan spokesman, it was not included because the command and control thing was delivered in the middle of the planning stage for this year’s event.
So it’s only simulated firing.

CHINESE RESEARCH VESSELS IN PH WATERS LOOK: Four Chinese Research Vessels (CRVs) are operating in the vicinity of the Philippine waters, according to Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela on Sunday, May 3. “The PCG has determined that they are conducting illegal marine scientific research without the legal authority or prior consent of the Philippine government, in clear violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos),” he posted on Facebook. Tarriela said PCG will deploy aircraft and vessels to drive away the CRVs. | 📷: Tarriela/Facebook · Follow West Philippine Sea updates here: inqnews.net/WestPhilippine…

@RichHeydarian In my company, those who went for vacation before the war happen desperately tried to come back here in uae and that’s a strong statement. Well, there are casualties but at least very minimal. It’s not really “people are leaving”. UAE can withstand the effect.

NO NEED TO ANNOUNCE COORDINATES OF OUTER LIMITS OF EEZ
The rights of a coastal state over its continental shelf exist ipso facto and ab initio by virtue of its sovereignty over the land. The territorial sea, and the continental shelf where the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) are found, are considered integral natural extensions of the coastal land territory. This is expressed in the international law principle of "the land dominates the sea". A coastal state has an inherent right to its continental shelf, without need of any formality, announcement, proclamation or occupation. There is, therefore, no need to proclaim the coordinates of the outer limits of a coastal state's EEZ. (1969 North Sea Continental Shelf Cases, Articles 76 and 77 of UNCLOS).
What is required is to publicize the coordinates of an archipelagic state's baselines (Article 47(8), UNCLOS). The Philippines has complied with this requirement by enacting Republic Act No. 9522 which updated our archipelagic baselines to comply with UNCLOS.

@Chinaembmanila Just fuck off from our EEZ.
You people are the cause of all the disputes in the region.
Respect our territories, leave our EEZ and stop harassing our fisher folk, coastguard and other law enforcement agencies patrolling the area and it would settle all.

Deputy Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy Guo Wei:
Jay Tarriela is deflecting again.
Smearing and attacking China does not resolve disputes. It undermines diplomacy, inflames tensions, and damages relations between China and the Philippines.
Republic Act No. 7157, otherwise known as "Philippine Foreign Service Act of 1991", gives mandate to the Department of Foreign Affairs to implement Philippine Foreign Policy. By "freelancing" diplomacy, a Coast Guard officer bypasses the state's professional diplomats.
Publicly available records show that in 2025 alone, Tarriela posted at least 195 statements on Facebook containing false, twisted, manipulative, misleading and provocative narratives against China. He went even further by openly attacking and smearing the Chinese leader in front of students at a Philippine university. When confronted, he denied and lied again.
Each time his claims are exposed and his falsehoods collapse, he always deflects and resorts to anti-China narratives. Such trick cannot fool people with insights and wisdom.

@kikopangilinan Thank you sir for standing against this stupid senator who is paid by china. Atin ang west Philippine Sea and every entitlement within the prescribed EEZ.
