The municipal council of Kalayaan in Palawan province has declared Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian a persona non
grata after the envoy defended the harassment of China Coast Guard and militia ships against local vessels in the West Philippine Sea two weeks ago.
“ should not interfere in our RoRe mission,” said AFP spokesperson Colonel Medel Aguilar in a News Forum in Quezon City, which he said would be “soon.” However, the AFP must deliver supplies to its troops in Ayungin this week after the Chinese Coast Guard and militia blockade of its previous RoRe mission – with a marked use of water cannons – saw only one civilian resupply ship reach the Sierra Madre with just two weeks’ worth of supplies.
The Philippines, in response, sent a note verbale to China to protest the incident. Huang was also summoned by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs to explain his country’s actions.
