The Department of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday vowed to file daily diplomatic protests against China unless all Chinese vessels leave the Julian Felipe Reef in the West Philippine Sea. “Firing another diplomatic protest. Every day ‘til the last one’s gone like it should be by now if it is really fishing,” Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. posted on Twitter. The DFA filed a diplomatic protest in March demanding the immediate pullout of the 220 Chinese militia vessels at Julian Felipe Reef.
