Philippines alarmed over China 'monster ship' moving closer to land

Philippines vows not to back down from Beijing's increasingly aggressive South China Sea patrols which it says were moving alarmingly close to the country's coast.

National Maritime Council Spokesman Jonathan Malaya says in a press conference that China is "increasing aggression" by deploying "monster ship" China Coast Guard vessel 5901 about 77-nautical-miles off the coast of the Philippines' largest island.
