# The Philippine government says it does not condone threats of violence after five coffins bearing anti-China messages were found in different parts of Manila. The caskets, discovered overnight, carried slogans targeting the Chinese Communist Party and prompted a police investigation. Authorities say the coffins were empty and no arrests have been made. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Manila and Beijing over disputes in the South China Sea. The government condemned any form of intimidation while reaffirming its commitment to freedom of expression and the rule of law.
