"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.
