MANILA (Reuters) – The Philippines National Security Adviser on Tuesday said Manila’s vessel did not illegally enter any space under Chinese sovereignty and called on China to stop “its aggressive action in Philippine waters”.
The remarks came after the Chinese military on Monday said a Philippine vessel “illegally entered” waters near Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea without authorisation.
