Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 2) - The Department of Foreign Affairs and the Philippine Coast Guard clarified on Tuesday that the Chinese survey vessel recently spotted in Catanduanes was allowed to seek shelter due to bad weather.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Locsin, Jr. said the ship was granted permission to seek shelter as requested by the Chinese Embassy.
“DFA never gave permission to (research vessel) Jia Geng. For humanitarian reasons, DFA okayed the emergency Chinese Embassy request for shelter against bad weather,” he said on Twitter. “Request for shelter; not permission to stay and be watched. 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.”

Beijing’s embassy here hit out at the Philippines on Monday for what it called “false accusations” about a new law allowing the Chinese coast guard to use force in South China Sea waters claimed by the Asian superpower.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the Chinese Embassy in Manila said its Coast Guard Law had been “misinterpreted” and was “a normal domestic legislative activity.”
It also claimed that “forces in the Philippines” had “fabricated and spread relentlessly fake news” about the China Coast Guard harassing Filipino fishermen, and “sensationalized” the entry of a Chinese scientific survey ship into Philippine waters as an “intrusion.”
