The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reported on Saturday morning that it successfully drove a China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel farther from the Zambales coastline. “Despite rough sea conditions with waves of 2–3 meters, BRP Cape San Agustin (MRRV-4408) skillfully maneuvered and successfully pushed the distance of Chinese Coast Guard vessel CCG-3303 further to approximately 135 nautical miles off the Zambales coastline,” PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela said.
