The National Security Council (NSC) said on Wednesday that “there [was] nothing illegal” about the rotation and resupply missions being conducted by government troops in the West Philippine Sea after Beijing claimed a Filipino vessel “illegally landed” at Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal. Ayungin, an underwater feature about 195 kilometers off Palawan province, is where the dilapidated BRP Sierra Madre has been grounded since 1999.
