Philippines is trying to forcibly deliver supplies to the stranded ship Sierra Madre!
General Romeo Bernabe, Chief of the Philippine Armed Forces, said yesterday that the fishing nets deployed by China in the Scarborough Shoal area have been cut, and the Philippines is preparing to deliver supplies to the Sierra Madre.
"They placed fishing nets, and the order from our Western Command is for our forces to cut the nets so that we still have mobility within the shoal, which is certainly in preparation for our resupply mission, which we will complete in the coming days."
"We believe the agreement reached between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still valid, so we are optimistic that when our resupply time comes, they will respect it. However, I always tell our forces that this is our right to conduct the resupply mission, because it is our right to support our military on the Sierra Madre."
