Former President Duterte had a "gentlemen's agreement" with China governing Philippines' maintenance of BRP Sierra Madre ship grounded on Ayungin Shoal

Agreement said Philippines could only deliver water and food to Sierra Madre, not construction materials to repair it

Carpio said agreement violates 2016 ruling recognizing Ayungin as part of Philippine EEZ

Duterte knew without repairs Sierra Madre would collapse, ending Philippine presence on Ayungin
-
Carpio Agreement was "disguised surrender" of Philippines' EEZ rights over Ayungin as it gave China veto power over Philippines' structures there
