MANILA: The Philippine Navy offered to help a Chinese rubber boat in distress in Ayungin Shoal only to be scorned and blamed for the incident, Col. Medel Aguilar, military spokesperson, said on Saturday.
One of China’s Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats was entangled in a fishing line while it was tailing Philippine vessels heading to Ayungin Shoal to re-supply troops there, Aguilar said in a news forum in Quezon City.“Troops offered assistance to help China, but China refused.. and another boat came to their rescue,” he said. While the Chinese boat’s refusal to accept aid from Philippine forces was expected what surprised troops was Beijing’s radio call that blamed Filipinos for the incident, he said.
