00:00 The resupply mission of BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungi Shoal was successful despite the Chinese attack.
00:08 According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
00:11 food and other supplies were delivered to the Philippine troops yesterday.
00:16 They were escorted by BRP Cabra and BRP Sindangan of the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:21 Philippine Navy ships also guarded the ships.
00:24 The task force also added that the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese militia were stopped from the resupply mission.
00:31 According to a source of GMA Integrated News, the Philippine and Chinese ships exchanged radio challenges.
00:38 On August 5, BRP Sierra Madre was supposed to be resupplied but it was stopped due to the Chinese Coast Guard's water bombings on the Philippine ships.
00:51 Chinese Ambassador Huang Zilian said that there is no problem if humanitarian supplies are delivered to BRP Sierra Madre.
00:59 The problem is the delivery of building materials.
01:03 The Philippine Coast Guard said that food, water and gasoline were planned to be delivered to BRP Sierra Madre.
01:10 Huang's answer was not direct.
01:12 The question was related to the Chinese Coast Guard's blocking of the resupply mission in Ayungin.
01:18 According to the Chinese Coast Guard, the Chinese government did not allow the resupply mission
01:24 so they went out of their way and followed the Philippine ships.
01:28 They allowed the food to be delivered to BRP Sierra Madre because the resupply ships did not bring building materials.
01:36 China again denied that Ayungin Shoal is theirs.
01:39 According to the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal ruling, Ayungin Shoal is part of the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
