PH, China trade barbs over collision of coast guard ships in Escoda Shoal

Tensions flared anew in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) after Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and China Coast Guard (CCG) vessels collided in Escoda (Sabina) Shoal during a resupply mission on Monday, Aug. 19.

PCG ships BRP Bagacay (MRRV-4410) and BRP Cape Engaño (MRRV-4411) were en route to Patag (Flat) Island and Lawak (Nanshan) Island to bring supplies to troops guarding the Philippine-occupied features when they were subjected to “unlawful and aggressive maneuvers” by the CCG, according to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS).
