At the same time, the Philippine Coast Guard confirmed that it had recently rotated personnel on board the Sierra Madre and delivered the necessary supplies to the ship.

The Chinese coast guard said that the delivery was carried out without proper authorization and regarded the presence of the Philippine vessel as “illegal” because it was in territory that China considers its own. In turn, the Philippine authorities have not yet commented on the Chinese statement.
