The Philippines did not encounter any untoward incidents when they conducted resupply mission for their small navy contingent in Ayungin Shoal on Saturday. According to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the development was part of the provisional arrangement the Philippines signed with China last week. “It was the first RORE (rotation and reprovisioning) mission conducted under the ambit of the understanding reached between the Philippines and the People’s Republic of China on principles and approaches for the conduct of RORE missions in Ayungin Shoal for the purpose of avoiding misunderstandings and miscalculations, without prejudice to national positions,” a DFA statement said.
