#MANILA, #Philippines (AP) — A flotilla of about 100 mostly small fishing boats led by #FilipinoActivists sailed Wednesday to a disputed shoal in the #SouthChinaSea, where #Beijing’s coast guard and suspected #MilitiaShips have used powerful #WaterCannons to ward off what they regard as intruders.
The #PhilippineCoastGuard and navy deployed one patrol ship each to keep watch from a distance on the activists and fishermen. #WestPHSea
