The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources have reported harassment by the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) at Rozul Reef within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This incident, involving threats and aggressive maneuvers against Filipino fishermen, is seen as part of China's broader territorial assertions in the South China Sea. Despite these provocations, the PCG aims to maintain professionalism and avoid escalating tensions, in line with government directives. This event highlights the ongoing territorial disputes in the region and China's criticized efforts to expand its military presence under the guise of territorial claims.
