The joint naval patrol, the latest in recent months by the Philippines, the U.S. and their security partners, was delayed by several typhoons that battered the region and was not in reaction to a confrontation on Wednesday that involved Chinese and Philippine ships off Scarborough Shoal, the two Philippine officials said.
The Philippine vessels were delivering fuel, food and other aid to Filipino fishermen in the shoal, which has been closely guarded by the Chinese coast guard since a tense 2012 territorial standoff with Philippine ships.The Chinese coast guard provided another account of the incident. It said the Philippine vessels encroached on China’s territory, prompting it to take action. It said, without offering proof, that a Philippine vessel maneuvered in a way that led to a collision.
Japan is providing 1.6 billion yen in security assistance this year to provide the Philippine navy with coastal radars, inflatable boats and other defense equipment to strengthen surveillance of Philippine sea lanes, including in the South China Sea. Japan has also helped improve the Philippine air force’s aerial surveillance radar, the two countries said Thursday.
