Foreign tourists, and now the Chinese Coast Guard continue to be hounded by NAIA’s reputation of “tanim bala” (planted bullets).

Moments after Filipino marine scientists conducted a resource assessment of reefs in the South China Sea, the CCG inspected the islands to make sure the Filipinos didn’t implant bullets or other explosive devices.

After scouring the islands with metal detectors, the CCG said they didn’t find any weapons that may have purposely been left behind by the Filipinos.

All’s well that ends well!
