Quick Summary:

MANILA has protested to Beijing the China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s dropping of flares on the path of an unarmed Philippine Air Force reconnaisance plane over Bajo de Masinloc in West Philippine Sea, well within the country’s exclusive economic zone on August 8.

But despite these risks, Trinidad said they will not be deterred from continuing to perform “our mandate of securing the integrity of the national territory.

China said the PLA Southern Theater Command was conducting military exercises near Scarborough Shoal on August 8, when the PAF plane “intruded” into the Scarborough Shoal air space.
