Philippines' military chief denies navy ship driven away by Chinese coast guard in disputed shoal

The actor was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last year and had been experiencing discomfort.

MANILA : The Philippine military chief has denied its navy vessel was driven away by the Chinese coast guard in Scarborough Shoal, saying it was part of China’s propaganda.

China said its coast guard had driven away a Philippine navy gunboat on Tuesday after it intruded into waters around the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, according to an official statement from China.

“We urge the Philippines to immediately stop its infringement,” coast guard spokesman Gan Yu said, saying the action was also a serious violation of international law.
