Offices of the President, the foreign affairs department, the national defence department, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the Philippine Coast Guard will undertake the re-evaluation process, after President Aquino has ordered on Friday (announced on Saturday), that ships of the Philippine Coast Guard and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources should return to port, deputy spokesperson Abigail Valte said on Sunday.

There’s nothing else to that, but [a consideration for] the safety of PCG and BFAR personnel,” Valte said, hinting that that the Philippine government did not buckle down on its claim of sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal, located 124 nautical miles from the coast of Zambales in West Luzon,
