actor1: Philippine Coast Guard
On 2026-04-09, the Philippine Coast Guard activated its first dedicated command centre in the Spratly island chain on Pag-asa (Thitu) Island, Palawan. The new coast guard district had previously been overseen from neighbouring Palawan and will cover about 68,000 sq km. Chinese Coast Guard vessels were seen patrolling nearby waters, but the codeable event is the establishment of the new command site.
