A PHILIPPINE Coast Guard ship was now patrolling off Escoda Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, the National Security Council has reported.In a radio interview on Thursday, NSC spokesman Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya rebutted claims that the Philippines has surrendered its territorial control on Escoda after the withdrawal of another PCG ship, the BRP Teresa Magbanua, early this month.
Last week, China's Liaoning aircraft carrier sailed between two Japanese islands near Taiwan for the first time, accompanied by two destroyers.The ships entered Japan's contiguous zone — an area up to 24 nautical miles from the country's coast — Tokyo said, calling the incident 'totally unacceptable.' China said it had complied with international law.It followed the first confirmed incursion into Japanese airspace by a Chinese surveillance aircraft in August.
