(UPDATE) MANILA has filed a diplomatic protest over incidents of 'close distance maneuvering' by Chinese coast guard ships in waters off Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal, the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea said on Tuesday.

National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon, who chairs the task force, said that as a policy, the Philippine government will always resort to peaceful remedies to resolve incidents, especially those that happen in the West Philippine Sea.
