Ayungin is ours – Go

SEN. Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go expressed his deep concern over the recent actions of the Chinese Coast Guard against a Philippine Coast Guard ship near Ayungin Shoal, which he said is a Philippine territory.

The vice chairman of the Senate Committee on National Defense reiterated his call to ensure that the country's interests and national security are protected.
