MANILA, April 28 -- Another vessel of China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) was spotted Sunday near the "Balikatan" multilateral maritime exercise (MME) area off Palawan waters.

The PLAN vessel (bow number 578) was spotted around 9 a.m. between seven and eight nautical miles of the MME flotilla, sailing in the northern part of Palawan as of this posting, Western Command (Wescom) spokesperson Capt. Ariel Joseph Coloma said in an interview.

"I cannot speak for them but we are monitoring them, and we record then we report whatever our ships are monitoring in the area," he said when asked what the Chinese vessel was doing.

Coloma said the first PLAN vessel (bow number 793) spotted Saturday was no longer in the vicinity.
