- (29 Mar 2014) A Philippine government ship slipped past a Chinese coast guard blockade on Saturday to deliver supplies to a marooned navy ship used by Filipino troops.
The navy ship is used to bolster the the Philippines' territorial claims in the disputed South China Sea.
The incident was witnessed by journalists who were invited by the Philippines military to accompany the resupply mission.
Around one hour away from Second Thomas Shoal, where the detachment is based, a Chinese coast guard ship marked "1141" twice crossed the bow of the smaller Philippine vessel in an attempt to stop it from proceeding.
Another tailed the Filipino boat.
The Philippines has occupied the Second Thomas Shoal, where the ship is located, since 1999 but a Chinese warship and coast guard arrived and dropped anchor close by in May last year, sparking the current standoff.
The Filipino captain manoeuvred his vessel to shallow waters where the Chinese ships couldn't sail to reach the vessel, BRP Sierra Madre, which has become an awkward symbol of Philippine sovereignty in the remote offshore territory.
Saturday's re-supply effort came after Chinese vessels on March 9 blocked a previous effort to send supplies to the shoal, called Ayungin by the Philippines.
Philippine air force planes have airdropped life-saving food and water at least twice since then.
China claims almost the entire South China Sea but the Philippines has questioned China's claims before the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea.
Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also have claims over the territory, which is believe to be rich in oil and gas and is also a major shipping lane.

We Australians stand with you Philippines. Never give in to bullies.
Love how the camo fatigue gives these troops added tactical advantage in the surrounding vegetation. Stand proud on your flag ship!
Thanks to all philippine bravery to protect our exclusive economic zone.
Mabuhay ang bRp Sierra Madre Philippines🇵🇭
Seira Madre ship represent's philippine's activity back in historical claim and defense coast back then. This is the proof of Philippine claim of the islands near at Palawan
We should support the Philippine marines for their true intention if not local fishery and tourism will conquer Chinese military activity
We know that ship is an eye sore but the true intention represent historical value for the Philippines' claim
I been there nakaiyak kalagayan ng mga sundalo natin doon.. They need to take anti tetanu bago sila dalhin dun.. The white ship of Chinese coast guard cannot blocked the way of Filipino vessels because the shoal is si shallow
Cno ba nag utos ilagay yan jan
Dapat ginawan na ng island yan nuon pa
We Salute To All Of The Military Who Served In Our Own Sovereignties!! We Pray For Your Safeties Everyone.....The WORLDS WATCHING YOU 🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭------- 🇸🇬🇦🇺🇯🇵🇻🇳🇹🇼🇬🇧🇩🇰🇫🇷🇮🇹🇳🇿🇳🇴🇸🇪🇺🇸 🇮🇱
Nakaka awa naman mga sarili nating sundalo :(
Nakaka bilib hindi nakaka awa
Do not rely on our corrupt and incompetent leaders to defend the sovereignty of our beloved motherland. Once again it is up to the Filipino people to defend the domain of our beloved motherland.
I would say, do not rely on your ignorance. You hate our government, but you don't know that if we don't have a government, we will end up like countries in the Middle East that have been in civil war for decades now. Your ignorance about governing a country is very deep.
Joe Ma fucking Sison. You may rot in hell, you fucking communist swine.
what have you done then?
WestPhilippineSeaisOurs 🇵🇭
Salute to our Philippine Marines deployed in the BRP Sierra Madre 57
I want to know if they have a water desalination.
Crazy that this is still happening. August 2023
I like the Philippine ship defied the Chinese. But geez get those men off that rust bucket ship. Put a better one there and keep ignoring the Chinese.
Pray for phils.
They have to repaint the ship.. To show that it is a naval station that was base on that area.
they need a 20k watt generator, a desalination unit, a engineering unit which should at least! make the sleeping quarters, meeting area, defensive platform functional or in decent form. they have radar, radio, at least a 10 decent 50 cal. machineguns..with ammo.
that Philippine naval old broken ship should be towed away for sinking. why stationed their military personals on board.
Don't quote me but I think it's an old US WWII ship that ran aground. Then the US gave it to the Philippines so they could use it to claim the shoals.
For you chinese to occupy that area... We are friendly people but.. If you grab this area that gaves livelihood and sustenance of our people then ..we will stand what is best for us.
Nakakaawa :(
China can easily blast that ship out of it's misery.
bakit hindi nila lagyan ng Solar energie ang Sierra Madre para may Ref sila....at Stove para makaluto at makakain ng Mainit na pagkain o kaya Yacht para doon sila matulog ng mahimbig...
Please send a mobile navy base in that area.
What a proud moment for these boys to stand tall on a such a majestic ship flying their glorious flag on a tin pole. Even puny Singapore can sail better warships!! 😂😂
Stop crying chinese bot. West Philippine Sea is ours jo matter how hard you try to claim it.
Why is the PH prrsident is mumb about this.? He should send objection to UN. Or is he protecting himself from wrongdoings
You are wrong. The Philippine president has been filing protests since 2016. In fact the Philippines won the case at UNCLOS. It is China the keeps imposing their claims on the place even though they lost the case.
LOL BIG CHINESE SHIPS CANT STOP A SMALL FILIPINO VESSEL???!!!!!
CrussyFire XD I mean, it was a civilian cruiser. If anything else, it would be a possible war between the two.
Thats because they don’t have an advance skills
idioto this is before bbs
dapat emodernize nlng yng barko tapos lagyan light house at military base.
Sana magkaroon din tayo ng malaking barko pandigma laban sa mga chinesw na yan,..bagong kaibigan at mag iwan ng bakas,.sana ganun ka din salmat
Magpatayo ng kongkretong tirahan. Pang junkshop n ang BRP S. Madre e bka 5 years from now sira na yan. Mas ok n palitan ng kongreto sa tabi nia. Suggestion lng
Kawawa na ang itsura ng Sierra Madre. Sana mapagtayuan na ng permanent military stucture or palitan ng ibang barko. Sa nakikita ng China, naaatat na silang makitang bumagsak ito para manakaw na nila ang shoal ng tuluyan. Kawawa naman ang mga sundalo natin.
How long has the ship been there
since 1999s and reuse as Outpost since that year until now to protect the Ayungin Shoal na nasa Blue Print na ng China noon pang 1970s to 1990s para tayuan nla ng infastructures at ports like sa current 7 Artificial Islands nla and maybe someday mapapaasatin di yan basta magpalakas at makipagkasundo tyo sa Japan-Joint Oil Explorations
they dont even care to paint that ship
Kawawa naman sundalo natin
Sino ba nag utos na itira sila jan
Dapat nilagyan na yan ng island nuon pa
Dapat magingat, para hindi matetanus.
Mga hari sa sarili nting bansa ! Kakaawa nmn ang barko ntin bulok na ipakilo nlng kaya yan 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Well I mean these guys are Die Hard
Nasisira na yong barko dapat gawa na ng bago
More warhip for PH navy
Sana aku Jan mag bantay
based pilipinas
if tagalog still leader of philippines then these still happen, all they care are milking people instead helping it so we can rise
More warhip and more.weapons for PH navy
Inangkin na nga nila...at pati mga supplies ng mga sundalo ntin hinaharang pa... Anong klase yan... Kapag tuluyan n yan nkuha pati mismong buong bansa kukunin n din nyan....nganga..
Chinese sound like robots wtfff
pinagtatawanan nalang tayo ni fm ngaun sa langit.
Fire those illgal xhina coastguard
Pag nag Gera wala taung panalo PAG sumanib namn saatin ang America syempre Yang China hihingi Ng tulong SA japan marami pa Kaya wag na taung lumaban hyss
Fact:Japan is not China's Ally and has never been since ww2 actually also Japan have water disputed territories with the Chinese and also fighting for it just like Philippines so basically Japan is our Ally not China's Ally because China's Ally is Russia, Iran,Brazil,south Africa in short "BRICS" alliance
This rotten ship shoud be equiped with 75 mm canon, mica vls, torpedoes, etc
Wait, can it even sails?
just a thought, Filipino frogmen could easily board that chinese vessel and do what they do best. like I said just a thought
That will mark the end of Phillipines. Quoting directly from your president, not ours.
Puro hand peace sign kwawang kawawa Tau hahaha iyak nlng sa banga
🫣
Why? The actual Fuck are we still Using that ship??🥴🥴😂😂
