However, from 1947 to 1999, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) was the one that assigned in giving a storm name, even though JMA is the RSMC of the WPac basin since June 1988. Also, they have different meteorological calculations in measuring tropical cyclones.

Atty. Chel Diokno says encouraging suspects to fight back is against the law because police are only supposed to respond to what they are doing and not provoke them. He also noted other irregularities in "nanlaban" cases. #ANCHeadstart

LOOK: A minor phreatic eruption at Taal Volcano Island's Main Crater at 1:37 PM to 1:45 PM today, 20 October 2024, was captured by the thermal camera of the Daang Kastila Observation Station (VTDK), VTBC IP Camera at Buco, and VTAG IP Camera at Agoncillo, Batangas. Locally called as "pusngat," this event produced a 2,000 meter-tall plume that drifted southwest. Alert Level 1 prevails over Taal Volcano

Statement of the National Security Adviser Secretary Eduardo M. Año
04 October 2024 | Manila, Philippines

We strongly condemn the violent and illegal actions of Chinese maritime authorities against Vietnamese fishermen near the Paracel Islands on September 29, 2024. This unjustified assault, which left 10 fishermen injured and damaged their property, is an alarming act with no place in international relations.

Such use of force against civilian fishermen blatantly violates international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and breaches basic human decency. Fishermen, as vulnerable maritime workers, deserve protection-not harm—at sea.

The Philippines has consistently advocated for peaceful dispute resolution in the South China Sea and rejects any use of violence or coercion especially against civilian fisherfolk to advance territorial claims. Such actions escalate tensions and threaten regional security.

We stand with Vietnam in denouncing this egregious act and call for accountability. China must uphold international maritime laws and cease all hostile activities that endanger the lives and livelihoods of civilian mariners. The Philippines reaffirms its commitment to peace, security, and respect for international law.# # #

In an incident in April, unreported until now, a cable ship conducting a repair off Vietnam found itself circled for hours by a Chinese coast guard ship. “It was clear to us what it was,” said an exec at the repair company. “A show of strength.”

Friday's incident of the People’s Liberation Army-Navy pointing a laser at a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) aircraft in the West Philippine Sea was a "'gross violation of international laws,' including UNCLOS."

“Around 10 AM, about 40 men in camouflage uniforms from the two steel ships boarded our boat. Each with a metal rod, they started beating indiscriminately whomever happened to be in their way. I tried to run towards the bow but were caught by two men, who beat me nonstop until I completely passed out. I only regained consciousness about an hour later”, recalled captain Biên.
