- The Philippine foreign ministry announced on Saturday the successful completion of the first resupply trip to troops at a disputed South China Sea shoal, as part of a new agreement with China to alleviate tensions.
- Following repeated clashes between vessels causing regional concerns about an escalation of hostilities, the Philippines and China last week disclosed a 'provisional agreement' on Manila's resupply missions to its contingent of troops on a naval ship grounded on the Second Thomas Shoal.
- Saturday's mission involved a civilian vessel, escorted by the Philippine coast guard, with no incidents reported, as stated by the foreign ministry in a statement.
- China relies on historical maps to claim nearly the entire South China Sea as its territory. However, a ruling by an arbitral tribunal in 2016 found that this assertion lacks a basis in international law.

- The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) condemned what it called China's "barbaric and inhumane" attempt to block and harass a Philippine mission to evacuate sick personnel in the West Philippine Sea.
- Videos depicting the incident on May 19 were publicly released for the first time on Friday, showing Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) personnel on ships and smaller boats operating near PCG and Philippine Navy personnel and potentially issuing warnings through speakers.
- The harassment of Philippine personnel by China occurred approximately 15.43 nautical miles off the northeast entrance of Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea. Ayungin is where the BRP Sierra Madre was intentionally grounded in 1999 and has since functioned as a military outpost for the Philippines in the area.
- President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has emphasized that the death of a Filipino in those waters would warrant invoking the mutual defense treaty between the Philippines and the United States.
