China Coast Guard (CCG) personnel blocked the efforts of the Philippine Coast Guard to rescue Filipino fishermen from an illfated boat at Panatag Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, according to PCG Commodore Jay Tarriela.

Tarriela refuted earlier reports that the CCG “allowed” the rescue to proceed after being informed of the humanitarian nature of the mission.

“During the rescue operation, the Chinese coast guard deployed two rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) not to assist the PCG, but to obstruct and hinder their efforts in rescuing the two injured Filipino fishermen, who suffered second-degree burns,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, last Sunday.

The PCG and Filipino fishermen who were involved in the rescue efforts “managed to outmaneuver the RHIBs and successfully transfer the injured fishermen for immediate first aid,” Tarriela added.
