The House of Representatives’ West Philippine Sea (WPS) Bloc on Wednesday denounced what it described as the “latest act of intimidation” by Chinese vessels against Philippine ships conducting legitimate operations at Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough Shoal) and Escoda Shoal earlier this week. In a statement, the WPS Bloc condemned the harassment and blocking maneuvers conducted by vessels of the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG), the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), and Chinese maritime militia against Coast Guard (PCG) and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Bfar) ships.
