The Western Command (Wescom) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Sunday said that they were able to complete another resupply mission to the troops manning the BRP Sierra Madre grounded in the Ayungin Shoal, despite the continued shadowing and challenge of Chinese militias on the Philippine supply boat. 'We consider this as an encroachment on our territorial waters and violation of our sovereign rights," said Major Cherryl Tindog, spokesman for the AFP Western Command.
