00:00 The Philippines summons Chinese Ambassador Huang Shilian days after Chinese Coast Guard
00:05 vessels trailed, blocked, and pointed water cannons at Philippine vessels on a resupply
00:09 mission to Ayungin Shoal.
00:11 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo visited Huang
00:16 to personally hand over the noteworthy ball.
00:19 A noteworthy ball is one of the many ways a country may file a protest over another
00:23 country's actions.
00:24 The Department of Foreign Affairs says Philippine Ambassador to China Jaime Flores Cruz also
00:28 issued a protest note in Beijing Monday morning.
00:32 China says it had used the water cannon to avoid collision from a direct interception,
00:36 adding it had "indisputable sovereignty" of the area and urges the Philippines to stop
00:40 infringing activities in its waters.
00:43 The 2016 Hague ruling, which Manila won against Beijing, declares there is no legal basis
00:48 for China's expansive claims in the South China Sea.
