The Philippine Coast Guard drove away seven Chinese maritime militia vessels during a patrol with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) on Sabina Shoal on April 27, PCG spokesman Commodore Armand Balilo reported yesterday. The PCG said it spotted seven China Maritime Militia Vessels (CMMV) and radioed them about their intentions within the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ). “The PCG communicated with them to declare that Sabina Shoal is part of the EEZ of the Philippines. When they failed to respond to three radio communications, the PCG approached the CMMVs that immediately raised anchor and started their engines,” Balilo said in Filipino.
