The Philippines has sent China a note verbale to seek clarification on the alleged forcible taking of a rocket wreckage by its coast guard from the Philippine Navy on the waters off Pag-asa Island, Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said Thursday.
“Now, depending on how the reply comes out, then we will have to see what to do. But definitely, in order to begin the process, we would like to get an official comment from China, especially in response to our note,” the country’s top diplomat said.
But China, through its embassy in Manila, denied the report by saying its coast guard took the object after a “friendly consultation.” It also claimed that AFP’s reports “are irrelevant with facts.”Manalo said the Philippines is standing by and “taking to heart” the report of the AFP, but it still wants to hear the Chinese side.
