The Philippines has sent a note verbale to China following the incident in Pag-asa Island in the West Philippine Sea, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced on Thursday. The note verbale was issued on Wednesday after a Chinese Coast Guard ship seized rocket debris from the Philippine Navy. “The Department has also taken action. We have issued a note verbale already seeking clarification from China on the incident,” DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo said on CNN Philippines’ The Source.
