'We always encounter dangerous maneuvers, shadowing activities, blocking not only from China coast guard vessels, but also from China militia vessels,' Philippine Coast Guard commanding officer Emmanuel Dangate says
The Philippines has completed a supply mission for troops stationed in a rusty World War II-era ship, but not without a usual cat and mouse chase with Chinese vessels in the South China Sea.
One of the Chinese ships was also seen heading dangerously close to the Philippine vessel which Reuters was onboard, while several Chinese militia vessels tried to block its path. The Philippines intentionally grounded the warship in 1999 as part of its sovereignty claim to the shoal, which is located inside its 200-mile exclusive economic zone.
