According to the news, The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) released videos of recent aggressive Chinese actions that seriously injured a Philippine Navy (PN) sailor during a rotation and reprovisioning (RORE) mission in the Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (WPS)
An AFP video showed a Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) boat chasing a PN vessel before ramming it during the June 17 RORE mission.
The report said that, the impact caused two sailors on the Filipino ship to almost fall over and seriously injured Seaman First Class Underwater Operator Jeffrey Facundo who lost a thumb in the incident.
According to the report, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. over the weekend conferred Facundo with the Order of Lapu-Lapu Rank of Kampilan. Marcos also awarded 79 other servicemen who took part in the mission with the Order of Lapu-Lapu Rank of Kamagi.
Marcos said: " I salute the eighty officers and troops who sailed the waters and exercised the greatest restraint amidst intense provocation on June 17th. We made a conscious and deliberate choice to remain in the path of peace,” said Marcos.
