The Philippines foreign ministry has accused China of intruding into its waters.
This came after an incident involving the two countries’ military vessels at a disputed shoal in the South China Sea earlier this week.
The Philippines says the shoal is within her exclusive economic zone and the country has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over it.
Both countries lay claim to the Scarborough Shoal but sovereignty has never been established and it remains effectively under Beijing’s control since it seized it from Manila in 2012
