The Philippines held an award ceremony for the involved patrol boat, while China's continuous efforts to drive it away have drawn attention.

On August 12, the day after the collision, according to Philippine television, General Ronnie Gille, commander of the Philippine Coast Guard, awarded the 43 crew members of the "South China Sea troublemaker" and "main culprit" MRRV4406 "Sulu An" (MRRV-4406 type) patrol boat in Manila port.

Philippine media reported that after the collision yesterday, the Philippine BRP Suluan (MRRV-4406) patrol boat was still unable to break through, as Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy vessels continued to chase and drive it away for an hour.

The Philippine coast guard vessel was approached by another Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy vessel.
