PCG Commended for Vigilance Against Chinese Research Ship in PH EEZ

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has been commended by the National Maritime Council (NMC) for its vigilance and continued monitoring of the Chinese research vessel 'JIA HAI KE 7' operating within the country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off Batanes. The Chinese vessel is conducting marine scientific research without Philippine consent, prompting calls for adherence to international law.
