    Excerpt
    After swarming Pag-asa in the Kalayaan Island Group, Chinese vessels believed to be part of China’s maritime militia have been seen close to two other Philippine-occupied islands in the South China Sea. Some of the Chinese ships and boats were spotted as close as 1 kilometer off Kota (Loaita) and Panata (Loaita Cay), about 24 km south of Pag-asa (Thitu) Island, the biggest of nine islands and shoals occupied by Filipinos in the Spratly Island chain, according to US-based think tank Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (Amti). “Satellite images collected on March 12, 16, and 29, and April 7 confirm the presence of Chinese vessels in the area, most of which show every indication of belonging to the maritime militia,” Amti reported on Tuesday.
