Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 4) – Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Locsin, Jr. on Thursday said the Chinese survey vessel which recently sought shelter in the waters off Catanduanes "never intruded."
Locsin said the issue was "cleared up" during the executive session by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
"Chinese vessel never intruded; enter our territory seeking refuge even as China asked permission," he said on Twitter. "Coast Guard never attempted to board because it is illegal to try; Chinese vessel left right after storm passed. No intrusion. Period."

Embassy tells Manila not to worry about South China Sea coastguard licence to fire

MANILA, Feb 2 (SCMP): The Chinese embassy in Manila has defended Beijing’s controversial coastguard law as “domestic legislation” and said China would continue to seek a negotiated resolution with the Philippines over their disputes in the South China Sea.
“China Coast Guard is an administrative law enforcement agency. The formulation of the coastguard law is a normal domestic legislative activity of China,” the embassy said on its Facebook account, late on Monday night.
“Enacting such a coastguard law is not unique to China, but a sovereign right to all,” the statement continued. “Many countries have enacted similar legislation. It was the Philippine coastguard law of 2009 that established the [Philippine Coast Guard] as an armed and uniformed service. None of these laws have been seen as a threat of war.”
