According to the news articles I found, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) maintains the need to deploy small boats in the resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre so as not to provoke China or any other claimant countries in the West Philippine Sea.

The PCG has recently deployed its biggest multi-role response vessel, the BRP Gabriela Silang, for the resupply mission, but it still relied on smaller boats to transfer the supplies to...
