The survey vessel above entered the Philippine EEZ on January 25. PCG said that this force immediately dispatched the ship to board the Gia Canh ship. But the boat captain Gia Canh refused to reason about the medical regulations. Hence the PCG requested verification documents.

Documents show that the Gia Canh vessel is the ship for marine scientific research of China. On January 30, the Philippine Foreign Ministry informed the PCG that the Chinese ship requested shelter due to bad weather and rough seas.

When the ship left at 6 o'clock on February 1, PCG sent the aircraft over when it left Philippine waters. However, the local maritime officials questioned because the Gia Canh ship's offer to shelter had been made despite the bad weather. Maritime law expert Jay Batongbacal said that the Philippines should pay attention to the presence of the survey vessel, because China has not yet explained about the previous visits to Philippine territorial waters.
