The Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) moved dangerously close then illuminated a green light towards a Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel near Ayungin Shoal, causing temporary blindness to its crew members, the PCG reported Monday.

“The PCG condemns any actions that harm and jeopardize the safety of everyone regardless of nationality,” PCG Commandant Admiral Artemio Abu said of the Feb. 6 incident encountered by the Philippine vessel BRP Malapascua. The PCG statement said CCG ship with bow No. 5205 reached around 18 kilometers (10 nautical miles) off Ayungin Shoal past 6 p.m. that day.

“The Chinese ship crossed the bow of the PCG ship at a distance of 7.4 km (4 nautical miles), as if to warn BRP Malapascua to stop or alter course,” it added.

The PCG said it was followed by “dangerous maneuvers,” with CCG 5205 a close distance of about 150 yards from the starboard quarter of the Philippine vessel before the Chinese ship shone its laser.

One week has been passed, More than 7,800 people were killed and thousands more injured after a major 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria last Monday.  Tremors that inflicted more suffering on a border area, already plagued by conflict, left people on the streets burning debris to try to stay warm as international aid began to arrive. The 7.8-magnitude quake struck Monday as people slept, flattening thousands of structures, trapping an unknown number of people and potentially impacting millions. A winter storm has compounded the misery by rendering many roads -- some of them damaged by the quake -- almost impassable, resulting in traffic jams that stretch for kilometres in some regions. Meanwhile, Speaker Martin Romualdez turns over $100,000 financial assistance to Turkish Ambassador to the Philippines Niyazi Evren Akyol for victims of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that hit Türkiye and Syria last week.
