Resolution criteria
- Resolves YES if, by 23:59:59 Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) on December 31, 2026, a commissioned Philippine Navy (PN) or Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel sinks (founders/submerges or is declared a constructive total loss due to sinking) as a direct result of action by a Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) or China Coast Guard (CCG) ship (e.g., collision/ramming, weapons, water-cannon–induced flooding).
- Exclusions: civilian/chartered boats (e.g., Unaizah May series), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) vessels, and intentional Filipino scuttling not directly caused by PLAN/CCG action.
- Groundings, capsizes, or severe damage that do not result in sinking do not count.
- If a vessel sinks and is later refloated, it still counts.
- Evidence: official PN or PCG confirmation or report, plus corroboration by at least two reputable outlets (e.g., Reuters, AP, BBC) or clear satellite/official imagery.
