The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) stated that a total of 36 Chinese vessels were supervised in the West Philippine Sea this week, on Tuesday, rising from 27 ships recorded last week.

Rear Adm. Roy Vincent Trinidad, an AFP spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, now a reservist, specified the four areas that the ships were tracked from May 19 to May 25: Panatag Shoal, Ayungin Shoal, Escoda Shoal, and Pag-asa Island.

With 19 vessels present, 10 People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships and nine Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels are in Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal.

“The presence in Bajo de Masinloc (Panatag) is there to normalize the situation inasmuch as they have already declared a nature "reserve"—Trinidad.

Trinidad claims that these are illegal statements and false narratives that they have been pushing back against.

Nearly all of the South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea, waters in the western portion of the country's 370-kilometer EEZ, were claimed by China.
