(UPDATE) THE China Coast Guard (CCG) continues to harass Filipino troops in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) which has sometimes resulted in the delayed delivery of provisions to soldiers stationed at the Ayungin Shoal in the Kalayaan Island Groups (KIG).

Lt. Gen. Charlton Sean Gaerlan, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) deputy chief of staff, confirmed the 'continuous harassment' by the CCG when he faced the Commission on Appointments (CA) for the deliberation of his ad interim appointment on Tuesday.
