(Inihatid ng AFP) NOCHE BUENA PACKAGE SA MGA SUNDALO SA WPS

MATAGUMPAY at mapayapang naihatid ng Armed Forces of the Philippines ang mga pamaskong supplies para sa mga sundalong nakatalaga sa West Philippine Sea sa isinagawang rotation and reprovisioning (RoRe) mission ng AFP mula Disyembre 3 hanggang  14.

“Western Command vessels transported essential life support and sustainment provisions, efficiently conducting unloading operations. This mission delivered morale-boosting Christmas packages in line with the AFP’s 89th Anniversary,” ani AFP spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla sa sinagawang pulong ba­litaan sa  Camp Aguinaldo sa Quezon City kahapon.

“The mission underscores the AFP’s commitment to ensuring the welfare of our sailors and marines stationed at our outposts and maintaining our presence in the West Philippine Sea. It also highlights our commitment to protecting our nation’s maritime domain,” pahayag pa ni Padilla.

Nangunguna sa hinatiran supplies at  noche buena packages ang mga sundalo sa BRP Sierra Madre na kabilang sa siyam na teritoryong okupado ng Pilipinas  sa West Philippine Sea (WPS).

Inihayag naman ni Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, na naging maayos na naisakatuparan ang resupply  mission sa siyam na  Philippine-occupied features bagaman nakitang may mga barko ng China sa hindi kalayuan.

Ayon kay Trinidad may dalawang China Coast Guard ships at dalawang  People’s Libe­ration Army Navy ships sa bisinidad ng Ayungin shoals kung saan sadyang isinadsad ang BRP Sierra Madre.

“There were no untoward incidents monitored. However, there were two CCG and two PLAN ships in the vicinity… doing nothing, no illegal or coercive actions… near Ayungin Shoal,” ani  Trinidad .
