China Crab, pinipilit sa pagong ng Pilipinas ang pekeng "10-dash line." 🤣🤦♂️
Hindi nagiging batas ang paulit-ulit na pagtanggi. Final at legally binding ang 2016 Arbitral Award, at walang propaganda ang makakapagpabago sa internasyonal na batas.
#WestPhilippineSea#AtinIto
When propaganda fails, China resorts to violence. The assault on Philippine Navy personnel conducting a lawful mission at Ayungin Shoal on July 20, 2026 challenged international law and Filipino dignity. The Philippines will continue to uphold its lawful rights peacefully.

The video shows Philippine personnel blocking a China Coast Guard approach, while CCG personnel struck them with wooden batons. Facts matter, judge the incident by the full sequence of events and international law, not selective clips. The Philippines remains professional.
WATCH: Philippine Navy personnel lawfully escorted a China Coast Guard RHIB away from the vicinity of BRP Sierra Madre in the West Philippine Sea. Instead, CCG personnel attacked with wooden batons and damaged Philippine rubber boats. Ph troops remained disciplined.
"There should naturally be a strong pushback." — Sec. Gibo Teodoro Jr.
Defending our maritime rights means protecting Filipino fishermen, coastal livelihoods, food security, and our nation's future. Our seas sustain our people protecting them means protecting every Filipino.
Batanes is not up for debate. 🇵🇭 It is recognized by the Philippine Constitution, continuously administered by the Philippines, and unsupported by China's unlawful claims. Facts matter. Law prevails.

“Hindi tayo pinanganak kahapon.” Protektado na ng 2016 Arbitral Award ang karapatan ng mga mangingisdang Pilipino sa Bajo de Masinloc. Walang "common fishing area" na dapat magpahiwatig ng shared sovereignty o shared EEZ. Igagalang ang batas, hindi babalewalain. 🇵🇭

PCG, pumalag sa pag-ikot ng China Coast Guard sa loob ng EEZ ng Pilipinas sa Bajo de Masinloc. 🇵🇭
Sa loob ng ating EEZ, may buong karapatan ang Pilipinas na magpatrol, protektahan ang ating yaman, at igiit ang ating soberanong karapatan—walang pahintulot na kailangan.
Sanctions against those defending our maritime rights are not signs of weakness—they show the message is being heard. The law remains on our side, and our commitment to protect the West Philippine Sea remains unwavering. 🇵🇭 #AtinIto
Kapag dayuhan ay dumiretso sa sanctions at paninira, ibig sabihin hindi nila kayang sagutin ang katotohanan, batas, at matibay na posisyon ng Pilipinas sa West Philippine Sea. Bilang mga Palaweño, mariin at buong puso nating sinusuportahan si Secretary Gibo Teodoro Jr.
Four foreign warships faced a lone Philippine vessel near Bajo de Masinloc, while another foreign coast guard ship was driven from our EEZ.
Our forces remain present, vigilant, and committed to protecting our maritime rights.
#WestPhilippineSea#SovereignPhilippines
May nawala sa loob ng Bajo de Masinloc dahil may bantay at may batas. Ang floating platform na halos tatlong linggong minonitor ay wala na, ngunit tuloy ang pagbabantay. Isang Chinese research vessel naman ang namataan malapit sa shoal isang araw matapos itong alisin.
When facts cannot be challenged, the attacks become personal. China has moved from sanctions to targeting individuals, but Secretary Teodoro remains focused on his duty: defending the Philippines and its sovereign rights. The West Philippine Sea belongs to the Filipino people.
JUST IN: One day after authorities confirmed the removal of a Chinese floating platform from Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal, a new Chinese research vessel has been spotted in waters outside the shoal.
ABS-CBN News joined the Philippine Coast Guard’s maritime domain awareness flight in the West Philippine Sea on Thursday.
The PCG also monitored a Chinese research support vessel, two China Coast Guard ships, and three Chinese maritime militia vessels outside Bajo de Masinloc.
Inside the shoal, Chinese sampans, service boats, buoys, and a communications antenna remain in place. #SelfiePatrol @ABSCBNNews
Hindi ito pa‑drama: mino-monitor ng Pilipinas ang 26 Chinese vessels at isang floating platform sa West Philippine Sea para protektahan ang dagat, isda, at hanapbuhay ng mga Palaweño.
#WestPhilippineSea#OurWatersOurRules#BantayDagat
During a routine patrol in the West Philippine Sea, BRP Diego Silang challenged a Chinese warship operating inside the Philippines’ EEZ, asserting our maritime rights. The vessel ignored repeated radio calls while a China Coast Guard ship lingered nearby.
