MANILA, Philippines - The military’s Western Command (Wescom) is increasing the frequency of its aerial and sovereignty patrols over the West Philippine Sea following China’s reported deployment of a naval ship to patrol the region.

On Thursday, through its state-run Xinhua news agency, China announced the deployment of Haixun 21, the first oceangoing patrol vessel equipped with a helipad, to conduct maritime patrol in the West Philippine Sea.

Haixun 21 is the first of its kind to be put into service in the West Philippine Sea and will be under the administration of the Hainan Maritime Safety Administration, Xinhua said.

“We will validate this through constant aerial and sovereignty patrols,” Wescom commander Lt. Gen. Juancho Sabban told The STAR in reaction to the report.

Based in Palawan, Wescom has operational jurisdiction over wide areas of the West Philippine Sea to include the country’s regime of islands in the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) in the Spratlys archipelago.

Good for the WesCom. Lets see what they will do once they spot a Chinese patrol vessel.
If you don't want a modern and capable AFP, you might want to get the f*ck off the Philippines because you don't deserve to be a Filipino that's why!
