The Philippine Coast Guard believes the reason for China's aggressive moves in Escoda Shoal is due to the presence there of PCG vessel BRP Teresa Magbanua. PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela said this following Sunday's incident where China Coast Guard vessels rammed and used a water cannon on the BRP Datu Sanday of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources near Escoda Shoal .
The PCG has stood firm that Escoda Shoal is located within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2016 arbitral award.The PCG also said it deployed a vessel to Escoda Shoal not to provoke or escalate tensions but to protect and safeguard the Philippines' sovereign rights over these waters, particularly against illegal poachers and activities that damage the marine environment.
