Marcos orders ‘strategic presence’ at Escoda Shoal

Quick Summary:

FOLLOWING the return of BRP Teresa Magbanua to its home port to undergo repairs, President Marcos has ordered concerned government agencies to maintain a "strategic presence” at the Escoda Shoal, the National Maritime Council (NMC) said.

He reiterated it is “almost impossible” for China to block the Philippines’s intent to patrol the entire vicinity of Escoda Shoal.

We can go to Escoda Shoal, and it’s almost impossible for the Chinese government to block our intent to patrol the entire vicinity of Escoda Shoal,” he added.
