Summary of "Pilipinas, diniretso ang China sa isyu sa West Philippine Sea | Frontline Tonight"

The video discusses a recent bilateral consultation meeting between the Philippines and China, where the Philippines expressed its concerns regarding the presence of a Chinese coast guard ship near Zambales, which is located within the Philippine exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The Philippine delegation, led by Camille Samonte, emphasized that the ship's presence violates the Philippine Maritime Zones Act.
