Sinadya umanong banggain ng isang barko ng China Coast Guard ang isang Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel na may lulan na tauhan ng Philippine Navy na nangangailangan ng agarang medical attention kaya ito sinundo sa BRP Sierra Madre sa Ayungin Shoal.
“The barbaric and inhumane behavior displayed by the China Coast Guard has no place in our society,” ayon sa post ni Commodore Jay Tarriela, PCG spokesman on West Philippine Sea issues.
Sa kanyang post sa social media ‘X’ ngayong Biyernes, Hunyo 7, sinabi ni Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesman for West Philippine Sea issue na naganap ang insidente noon pang Mayo 19.
“What should have been a simple medical evacuation operation was subjected to harassment,” ayon pa sa opisyal.
“Despite informing the Chinese Coast Guard via radio and public address system about the humanitarian nature of our mission for medical evacuation, they still engaged in dangerous maneuvers and even intentionally rammed the PN RHIB while transporting the sick personnel,” dagdag ni Tarriela.
