ABS-CBN News reporter Chiara Zambrano and her team attempted to go to the Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea to gather information from Filipino fishers about reports of hundreds of Chinese vessels in the turmoil-filled waters.

However, a Chinese coast guard vessel blocked their path, prompting their boat captain to head back to Palawan. While on their way, the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel chased them. After that, two Type-22 (Houbei Class) Fast Attack Crafts, known as missile-armed vessels, continued the chase 90 nautical miles from the shores of Palawan.
