The BBC saw first-hand how Chinese ships were manoeuvring in the South China Sea to block Philippine vessels.
Journalists were on board a Philippine Coast Guard boat, which was acting as a security escort for a resupply mission, when it came within metres of Chinese ships.
It came as long running tensions over disputed waters have flared up.
