China attempts to block PH vessel

(UPDATE) THE Philippines on Sunday accused the Chinese coast guard of attempting to block a government vessel delivering supplies to fishermen, the second such alleged incident near a disputed reef in two weeks.

The BRP Datu Sanday was supplying fuel to fishermen near the Scarborough Shoal when it was harassed by a China Coast Guard vessel and three other Chinese ships on February 22, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said.
