00:00 This is called a dangerous and threatening AFP in the defense of China Coast Guard in the Philippines' resupply mission in Iungin Shoal.
00:07 In Bajo de Masinloc, the Filipinos are still out there fishing because China is controlling its waters.
00:15 Here's the first news of Joseph Morong and Chino Gaston.
00:21 The Chinese Coast Guard's ship is now in the face of the crew and the media. It's very close to the BRP port.
00:30 It's a good thing that the BRP port is minored and avoided.
00:33 If not, the two ships might have collided in the middle of the Philippines' resupply mission in Iungin Shoal, which is now being blocked by the China Coast Guard.
00:42 We are very careful because we know that this is against international regulations regarding the safety of fishing here in the sea.
00:52 Hello! How are you?
00:54 How are you? Let's try to communicate.
00:58 Nihao!
01:01 We can see that they are also filming us.
01:07 That's how close we are. Peace!
01:12 This is one of the GMA Integrated News in the media that was allowed to be part of the resupply mission last Friday.
01:18 I personally witnessed what happened in the sea.
01:22 The ships of China were repeatedly blocked by two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard and they were escorting two supply ships.
01:30 China has four Coast Guard vessels, including a large ship and four militia vessels, which they call fishing vessels.
01:40 In the dangerous operations in the sea, the Philippine Coast Guard is forcibly separating the vessels of the Philippine supply boats.
01:49 The militia vessels are the ones who are blocking and escorting the Philippine ships.
01:55 These fishing vessels are moving but it is noticeable that their cranes and booms are jammed.
02:02 The winches and other equipment are covered.
02:05 The pilot house is also equipped with communication equipment.
02:08 In the sound of the waves, a water cannon is noticed.
02:12 It is also very dangerous that these maneuvers are being conducted by China because it's very hard to control the vessels, the ships.
02:23 So accidents may happen.
02:25 I also made sure, I emphasized this already in several press conferences,
02:31 that since they are the ones who initiated this illegal action and offensive action,
02:36 all consequences thereof shall be blamed to the China Coast Guard and to the authorities above them.
02:44 While the PCG is fighting against the ships of China,
02:47 two resupply vessels were damaged and the food and other equipment of the soldiers were loaded.
02:53 This is to me irresponsible behavior on the part of the Chinese Coast Guard.
02:58 And I think that the world knows who is in the right here.
03:05 Like the resupply mission in Ayungin,
03:08 the Chinese ships also intercepted the BRP Datu Sandai that was conducting maritime patrols in Scarborough Shoal in Bajo de Mazinloc.
03:17 More than 20 radio challenges were received and the Chinese ships intercepted it twice.
03:23 But the Philippine fishermen helped to block the ships of the China Coast Guard
03:30 until the BRP Datu Sandai was anchored near Scarborough Shoal.
03:35 According to the Philippine fishermen,
03:38 the Philippine fishermen are limited outside the Bajura because China is controlling the area.
03:44 They are really kings. We are really pitiful, the Filipinos.
03:50 Really pitiful. Unbelievable.
03:54 In the Freedom Island Group in Palawan, we saw that in the maritime domain patrol,
04:00 the structures not only of China but also of other countries are still occupying the shoals or reefs here.
04:07 Malaysia is occupying the Investigator Shoal or Pauican Shoal.
04:12 Vietnam is occupying the Bark Canada Reef or Mascardo Reef.
04:16 In Eritanau, the activities here are increasing in the structures, there are trucks and ships.
04:22 In Calderon or Quatern Reef that is occupied by China,
04:25 we can see lighthouses, roads and houses.
04:30 We are now facing one of the artificial islands that China is holding, the Fiery Cross.
04:35 If you look at the facilities here in that artificial island,
04:41 you will think that they are cities in the middle of the ocean.
04:46 And on the right side, we can see the Chinese vessels.
04:54 In the Freedom Island Group, Vietnam is occupying the most places,
04:58 which are located in 38, followed by the Philippines, which is in the 7th place,
05:02 followed by Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.
05:05 According to the KFP Chief of Staff, General Romeo Browner Jr.,
05:09 the Philippines will leave the country for a few years
05:12 and the Philippines should spend more on improving the features of the Philippines.
