5月4日至11日期间，西菲律宾海监测到15艘中国军舰和20艘海警船。菲律宾武装部队对其在四个关键区域的活动进行了跟踪。
菲律宾海军在帕纳塔格礁（Panatag Shoal）附近发现了最密集的编队，包括8艘中国人民解放军海军军舰和9艘中国海警船。帕加萨岛（Pag-asa Island）附近出现了3艘军舰和3艘海警船，埃斯科达礁（Escoda Shoal）和阿云津礁（Ayungin Shoal）也记录到了较少数量的船只。
今年4月，菲律宾武装部队在相同区域共计记录到62艘此类船只。官员们称，这种持续存在是菲律宾专属经济区内非法和胁迫活动的一部分。
已退役的菲律宾海军少将罗伊·文森特·特立尼达（Roy Vincent Trinidad）表示，武装部队将继续进行海空巡逻。他指出，在近期的“肩并肩”（Balikatan）演习中，中方未采取侵略性行动，仅反复提及中方自身也在进行相关演习。
