Japan to fast track coast guard vessels donation to the Philippines

The plan for Japan to provide coast guard patrol ships to the Philippines will be accelerated, according to Japanese officials. Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario are expected to sign the final plan at their meeting in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Manila formally requested 10 coast guard patrol ship from Japan last December. A fact-finding mission, which includes experts from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, was sent by the Japanese government this May to assess the situation. They will also work with officials in coming up with the equipment preferences and also devising with plans to operate the patrol ships once they are turned over. The delivery for the vessels are expected to begin by next fiscal year from April 2014. Each ship is expected to cost more than 1 billion yen (approx. 9.74 million dollars) and will be part of the official development assistance of Japan to the Philippines.

The fast-tracking of this plan is also due to the increasing activities of China in the South China Sea. The Philippines is currently involved in a territorial dispute over the Spratly Islands and the Scarborough Shoal. The ships and the plan being developed is to strengthen the capacity of the Philippine’s maritime police against possible actions by China over the row. Japan is considering providing assistance to Vietnam, who is also involved in a dispute with China over boundaries and territories in the maritime region as well.

フィリピンは、南シナ海の一部で中国と領有権を争っている。昨年12月に日本に40メートル級の巡視船10隻を提供するよう正式要請した。１隻当たり十数億円を見込み、政府開発援助（ＯＤＡ）の円借款を充て、２０１４年度以降に順次引き渡す考えだ。

十数億円 = 1 billion yen?
I think it means that near 2 billion yen.

if ODA loan agreement should be signed by next meeting, funding is made under control by JICA following laws and regulations in Japan , is included the condition stated that: "Refund shall be deemed to null", the project can be consider as "donation".
I think, Philippine govt has to bear the amount understood as counterfund for training personal staff and other fee should be born to put the ships in to operation.

And Philippine need Refund $6 billion ODA loan until 2013.

Japan no enough Budget to donates for you.
Japanese said that "Refund shall be deemed to null" means use Technical Cooperation (Equipment provision part) to Refund .
But Equipment provision for Philippine total is $0.24 billion from 1975 until 2012.

Philippines Activity on Ren'ai Reef Draws Chinese Caution

Construction Activity Onboard Stranded WW2 Warship - Globaltimes.cn

Global Times | 2013-5-23 0:13:01
By Chang Meng and Qiu Yongzheng

Chinese navy and marine surveillance forces are closely monitoring activities conducted by the Philippines on a vessel stranded on the Ren'ai Reef in the South China Sea, a source close to the matter told the Global Times.The Philippines filed a protest with the Chinese embassy in Manila Tuesday that the recent presence of a Chinese warship and two marine surveillance vessels near the reef was "illegal and proactive."

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei responded Wednesday that the Ren'ai Reef is part of China's Nansha Islands, and that China has indisputable sovereignty over them and their adjacent waters, adding that Chinese ships are entitled to regularly patrol there.The Philippines sent three military vessels on May 9 after spotting the Chinese ships.

The source also told the Global Times that the Philippine vessels carried a large amount of construction materials to repair a worn-out warship that has been stranded there since May 9, 1999 due to an alleged leak at the bottom, adding that the country has been sending garrison soldiers to gain de facto control to the reef and refused to withdraw the ship.
