The Armed Forces of the Philippines ’
(AFP) Western Command (WESCOM) in Palawan denied Thursday news reports that
claimed floating buoys with Chinese markings were seen close to oil and natural
gas-rich Recto Bank in the northeast quadrant of Kalayaan town in the West Philippines
Sea .
In a text statement, the WESCOM said through spokesperson
Capt. Cherryl Tindog that “the reported presence of buoys with Chinese markings
is inaccurate.”
Our recent patrols in the reported area revealed that there
were no such buoys nor Chinese markers.
Western Command remains vigilant and
continues to conduct maritime patrols in the West Philippines
Sea to protect our
sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the text statement said.
