"Avast! Philippine crew be settin' sail to the squabbled shoal, no trouble this time—aye, a rare calm in the storm!"

Arrr, matey! The brave Filipinos be shippin’ their goods to the squabbled Second Thomas Shoal, and lo! No scuffles to report! ‘Tis a fine change, what with all the ruckus ‘twixt the Chinese and them Filipinos! Aye, peace be a rare treasure in these waters!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round as I spin ye the tale of the Philippine fleet makin’ a brave venture to the fabled Second Thomas Shoal, a place where the Chinese dragon guards the waters fiercely! This past Saturday, the galleons of the Philippine navy sailed forth, deliverin’ provisions to their comrades aboard a rusted old hulk dubbed the BRP Sierra Madre, amidst whispers of peace after many a quarrel with the red menace!By the beard of Davy Jones, this resupply mission was a first since the two nations struck a deal to keep the cannons quiet! The Philippine lads and lassies sailed with nary a confrontation, much to the delight of their leaders, who praised their seamanship! Even the Chinese coast guard, known for their dastardly water cannon antics, decided to play nice this time and let the supplies pass unhindered!
Yet, beware the treacherous waters! Just months ago, a fierce battle saw Chinese scallywags board Philippine vessels, leadin’ to injuries and stolen armaments. But now, with the winds of diplomacy at their backs, the two nations hope to keep the peace on these briny depths. With the U.S. watchin' from afar, the seas may yet remain navigable for all! Arrr!
