China Coast Guard
Message Update:
The author has just learned that 100 small boats have returned from the retreat, and that the large ship organized by Atin Ito is still preparing to touch porcelain near the waters of Scarborough Shoal, while our two coast guard ships are keeping an eye on the vicinity to prevent the Philippine fleet from making deviant moves.
The picture above shows that the Philippine media have just taken pictures of China's coast guard monitoring the Atin Ito fleet. At present, because there are no 100 small boats to cover them, the large civilian ships of the Atin Ito fleet are limited by their speed and can hardly continue to approach the waters of Scarborough Shoal.
According to the latest Philippine media reports at 19:50, the first phase of the Atin Ito organization has been completed - that is, to send supplies to Filipino fishermen along the way, this task has nothing to do with us, it depends on whether they dare to continue to advance towards Scarborough Shoal.
The following is the original content:
Yesterday (May 14), the national media in the Philippines focused on its so-called non-governmental organization Atin Ito, which claimed to launch 100 civilian ships to Scarborough Shoal on the mainland to declare sovereignty. The most shameless thing is that they also said that this time they belong to the citizens' peaceful action, and called on the mainland not to interfere.
In order to prevent the Philippine side from doing something stupid, China's coast guard unit and some civilian ships rushed to the waters of Scarborough Shoal the day before to conduct search and rescue training. This is really not an excuse, we do have to do this kind of training, and if there is a conflict, we will inevitably go into the sea to rescue the Filipinos who have fallen into the water.
Since last night, major Philippine media have reported that it seems to be a heroic expedition. And we are ready to let the troublemakers succeed.
As a result, the Manila Times, one of the most influential national media outlets in the Philippines, reported on the progress of the Atin Ito organization – don't laugh.
According to the media: After being escorted by the Philippine Coast Guard for some distance, the Atin Ito fleet headed for about four hours in the direction of the South China Sea. The flotilla halted its advance and began distributing food and fuel to Filipino fishermen at sea, dropping a dozen buoys marked "WPS Atin Ito The West Philippine Sea is Ours."
"WPS" is the so-called "West Sea of the Philippines", which is an abbreviation of their own geographical term that tries to discredit the standard international waters called the "South China Sea".
Then the funny one came, and the spokesperson for the fleet organized by Atin Ito told Filipino reporters who were eagerly waiting for news through communication software that no mainland ships had been found in their area.
Did you not find us? Naturally not, but they "remain far from the target reef", because they received reports of the presence of a large number of Chinese ships near Scarborough Shoal - it's just nonsense, and this is still the time they received the message?
And then what's even funnier is that Filipino reporters ask where they are now? The group declined to disclose.
Anyway, we sailed out, and we can't say where we're going.
In fact, this is not the first time that the group has engaged in such a small action, it did it a few months ago, but under the prestige of our ships, they ran away in disgrace.
This time, they engaged in a bigger battle, and the fleet also invited foreign media reporters, not knowing whether it was to sue the foreign government or to show the results of their work to the American and Western masters. In short, except for throwing a pile of garbage at the South China Sea, their mission is complete.

This so-called civil society organization is not civil at all, and Rafaela David, the head of Atin Ito, is also the president of the Philippine Civic Action Party, no doubt to make more political capital for herself.
It's just that the Philippines has repeatedly engaged in these child's plays, and it will eventually backfire on itself one day. Yesterday, the Xinhua News Agency issued three consecutive warnings against the Philippine side, and the meaning of the warning was very obvious.
At the same time, China's South China Sea Fleet has also sent warships to conduct exercises nearby, and as long as the Philippine side dares to take half a step beyond the minefield, then I believe that we will have a way to solve these problems.
Of course, we may be prepared, and the Atin Ito organization is currently saying that it has completed its mission and is ready to return to the Philippines, but no one knows whether it will suddenly be killed, and we still need to continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the relevant waters in the South China Sea, and we must not let their plan succeed.
