“Historically, there have been instances of large hauls of illicit drugs apprehended in the maritime domain confiscated in our seas that have markings that appeared to be Chinese in characters,” Trinidad told reporters in a press briefing at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City on Tuesday.

Trinidad noted that it is likely that the intercepted drugs are “another effort by the Chinese Communist Party to destroy the future generation of Filipinos.”

“Hence, the Philippine Navy and the AFP have to extend, based on the guidance of our Secretary of National Defense, the conduct of the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Cooperations,” he added.
