BRP Teresa Magbanua has been stationed in Escoda Shoal since April amid reports of China ’s reclamation activities in the area.

Manila will not withdraw its ship "despite the harassment, the bullying activities and escalatory action of the Chinese coast guard," a PCG spokesperson said.

China 's coast guard called on the Philippines to withdraw immediately or bear the consequences.

Last Sunday , CCG vessels rammed and used a water cannon on Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ( BFAR ) ship near the shoal.

The BRP Datu Sanday , which was rammed five times, was on a humanitarian mission from Hasa-Hasa Shoal to deliver diesel, food, and medical supplies to Filipino fishermen in Escoda Shoal .

CCG said it took "control measures" in accordance with law and regulations.

Beijing claims almost the entire South China Sea , a conduit for $3 trillion in annual ship commerce.
