菲律宾当局周三证实，在提出外交抗议后，中国在帕纳塔格浅滩（即黄岩岛）潟湖内安装的浮动平台已被移除。
西菲律宾海国家工作组表示，周三进行的巡逻证实该平台已从马辛洛克滩（又称斯卡伯勒浅滩或帕纳塔格浅滩）撤走。在5月25日发现该结构后，菲律宾曾提出正式外交抗议。
中国驻马尼拉大使馆称，该平台是中国科学院南海海洋研究所设立的临时科研设施。中方表示，科研任务已完成，平台于6月16日撤回。
菲律宾海岸警卫队海军少将杰伊·塔里埃拉指出，仍有一艘中国科考船留在该区域。他呼吁中方公开在此次活动中收集的数据。
该浅滩位于菲律宾的专属经济区内。马尼拉援引2016年依据《联合国海洋法公约》作出的仲裁裁决，重申其在该地区享有的主权权利。
Members of the Philippine House of Representatives demanded over the weekend that China immediately remove a floating platform it placed in the waters of Panatag or Scarborough Shoal. The lawmakers described the structure as an unauthorized intrusion into Philippine maritime zones. They also urged compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2016 arbitral ruling.

Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said international naval drills in the West Philippine Sea recognize the Philippines' claims under the 2016 arbitral ruling. He shared this in an ANC interview on April 1, even as China rejects the decision. Carpio pointed out that this falls short of full enforcement due to the Philippines' lack of political will.
