MANILA — The BRP Teresa Magbanua successfully pushed the Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessel CCG-3304 further away from the coast of Zambales, the Philippine Coast Guard said Thursday. 

In a statement, the PCG said the Chinese vessel is now estimated to be 100 to 105 nautical miles away from the area.

"Despite CCG-3304's assertions that it is patrolling within China's maritime jurisdiction and its refusal to recognize the arbitral award, the BRP Teresa Magbanua has persistently emphasized that the Chinese vessel lacks legal authority and is, in fact, violating the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and the 2016 arbitral award," the PCG said.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is also monitoring three other Chinese vessels off the coast of Zambales.
