MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The Philippines may continue filing protests over the Chinese Coast Guard driving away Filipino fishermen from Ayungin Shoal, though it had already used a process agreed on with China to resolve such a problem, according to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

In a panel interview on Monday (Jan 23), Marcos said that, shortly after he returned from his visit to China early this month, he reported about a Chinese ship “shadowing” a Filipino fishing boat.
