MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday deferred commenting on the reported sighting of a Chinese airship floating above the Panganiban Reef (Mischief Reef) in the West Philippine Sea.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said he would rather wait for the country\u2019s security officials to validate the report before making a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will defer to the statement to be issued by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Teodoro Locsin Jr.),\u201d Panelo said in a Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is again subject always to the National Security Adviser (Hermogenes Esperon), as well as the Department of National Defense Secretary (Delfin Lorenzana) for validation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In a tweet dated Nov. 24, ImageSat International, which specializes in providing high-resolution satellite imagery and mapping, bared that China\u2019s aerostat was sighted over the Philippine-claimed reef on November 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, #China’s aerostat, probably for #military #intelligence-gathering purposes, seen by #ISI at #Mischief Reef,\u201d ImageSat said in its tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of #aerostat allows China a continuous situational awareness in this resource-rich region. #IMINT #VISINT #Space #SouthChinaSea #SouthSea,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Panganiban Reef, which is being reclaimed by China, is located within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone or the West Philippine Sea.<\/p>\n

In July 2016, The Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in favor of the Philippines\u2019 arbitration case contesting China\u2019s nine-dash line claims in the disputed sea.<\/p>\n

The arbitral tribunal ruled that China does not have historic rights and that the nine-dash line has no legal basis.<\/p>\n

China rejected the arbitral tribunal\u2019s decision, prompting President Rodrigo Duterte to temporarily shelve it to give way to peaceful and friendly dialogues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
