Philippines, China 'provisional agreement' over Second Thomas Shoal subject to future review, official says
MANILA: The Philippines and China's "provisional agreement" on resupply missions for troops on a South China Sea shoal, the site of numerous clashes between the two, may be subject to future review, a foreign ministry official said on Tuesday. The comment comes as tensions have risen in the past week between the two countries in the disputed Scarborough Shoal, where, in the latest incident, Manila said a Chinese aircraft dropped flares in the path of its military aircraft.
