Philippine Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Romeo Brawner said he was onboard a vessel that was both sprayed with a water cannon and rammed by China. Videos released by the Philippine Coast Guard showed Chinese ships blasting water cannons at Philippine boats in the South China Sea on December 9 and 10. The incident took place during two separate resupply missions to fishermen at Scarborough Shoal and a tiny garrison at Second Thomas Shoal. There was also a collision between Philippine and Chinese boats at Second Thomas Shoal, where a handful of Filipino troops are stationed on a grounded warship. However, China said it had lodged solemn representations with the Philippines after a Philippine vessel “collided with the Chinese maritime police vessels.”
