Philippine authorities discovered a Chinese submersible drone off Masbate, seen as a security concern.

A submersible drone, suspected to be of Chinese origin, was found off the coast of Masbate, Philippines, in December. The drone, labeled 'HY-119', lacks a propulsion system and appears designed for long-term data collection. The Philippine government is treating this as a security issue, with the Department of Justice awaiting forensic analysis before deciding on further action. This incident follows the discovery of multiple similar drones in Philippine waters, raising concerns about China's activities in the region.
