00:04 Armed Forces of the Philippines, or AFP Western Command, is in charge of the re-launch of Chinese fishing vessels
00:11 in the Philippine Ocean and Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ.
00:16 In this video from the aerial control of AFP Western Command in the West Philippine Sea on September 6 to 7,
00:22 more than 20 Chinese fishing vessels were seen almost not leaving the area.
00:28 They were 70 to 80 nautical miles away from the Philippines, so they entered the Philippines' EEZ.
00:35 AFP Western Command said that this is against the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
00:40 There were also Chinese fishing vessels seen in Sabina Shoal near the Philippines.
00:45 This is where Chinese vessels are usually waiting to dock with Philippine resupply vessels to Ayunin Shoal.
00:52 On the resupply mission on September 8, four Chinese fishing vessels docked with resupply vessels and Philippine Coast Guard vessels.
01:00 One Chinese vessel has communication equipment and water cannons on top.
01:06 According to the West Com, the landing of Chinese vessels is at the discretion of the government
01:10 due to its possible implications for maritime security, fisheries conservation,
01:15 territorial integrity, and even preservation of the marine environment.
01:19 There were also Chinese vessels seen in Reed Bank or Recto Bank, which is said to be rich in gas.
01:24 It is also inside our EEZ.
01:27 In the rescue of Kalayaan Island, the Chinese Coast Guard and some Chinese fishing vessels were already on the lookout.
01:34 These vessels were stationed from day to night.
01:37 Our assets are increasing every day.
01:39 Just a few days ago, we have two patrol boats that were commissioned from the United States.
01:46 We have orders from South Korea, additional fast attack patrol boats, and we have orders from Israel.
01:55 Our modernization is ongoing.
01:57 I'm Mavis Peridu. I stand for truth.
