MANILA : The Philippines said it will continue to maintain and supply its South China Sea outposts without seeking permission from any other nation, dismissing Beijing’s demand to do so as"absurd, nonsense and unacceptable.”

Ano was responding to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning’s comment on Friday that the Philippines should notify Beijing in advance if it wants to deliver provisions or evacuate personnel from its grounded warship in the Second Thomas Shoal. Ano cited the China Coast Guard’s"aggressive actions” against a Philippine vessel evacuating a sick soldier on May 19 from the ship, which he called"barbaric and inhumane.”
