00:00 In detail, the Philippines has successfully completed the resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre.
00:05 Aside from that, the Philippines ships are even closer to Ayungin Shoal
00:10 where one of the biggest ships of the Philippine Coast Guard was used, Patrick de Jesus.
00:17 In the new resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal,
00:24 BRP Melchorra Aquino joined the mission, one of the biggest ships of the Philippine Coast Guard
00:30 with a length of 97 meters, and the third ship that is part of BRP Cabra and BRP Sindangan Sarore.
00:38 The 97-meter vessel has always been there.
00:43 It is assigned there.
00:45 So her deployment really depends on the magnitude of operational need that we have in the area.
00:55 So in that instance, it was part of her routine movement.
01:00 Like before, the ships of the PCG will be joined by the rented resupply boats of the AFP,
01:06 including UNIZA May 1.
01:09 The motorboat ML Kalayaan is the temporary replacement for UNIZA May 2
01:14 that was docked during the last resupply mission after being hit by the China Coast Guard.
01:19 It is owned by the Kalayaan Municipality of Palawan, which is a rescue vessel.
01:24 If the sun rises on Friday morning, the ships of China will be able to see the Sabina or Escoda Shoal
01:31 like the CCG vessel with a bow number 3303 that is assigned to BRP Melchorra Aquino.
01:38 There is also a smaller and faster-operating China Coast Guard vessel
01:42 like the one with a bow number 21551.
01:45 The Chinese maritime militia vessel will also be able to see it.
01:49 Like before, the Chinese maritime militia vessels are still active
01:54 in preventing the Philippine ships from carrying out the resupply mission here in the Yunin Shoal.
02:00 Just like these many Chinese maritime militia vessels
02:05 that are surrounded by the Philippine Coast Guard ships,
02:09 the BRP Melchorra Aquino is also active.
02:12 The ships of the China Coast Guard and Chinese maritime militia vessels
02:17 have crossed the front several times and made dangerous maneuvers
02:20 to successfully block the ships of the PCG.
02:24 In the drone video, you can see the CCG and militia vessels' movement
02:28 and the militia vessels of the PCG ships to separate the resupply boats.
02:38 The China Coast Guard's ship also made several mistakes.
02:42 While the presence of the People's Liberation Army of China
02:45 the Poseidon Plain of the US is noticed to be blind
02:49 that it flies in the air several times and seems to be aware of the situation.
02:53 Last 8 o'clock in the morning,
02:55 the two resupply boats entered the Yunin Shoal successfully.
02:59 These are near the BRP Sierra Madre
03:02 to deliver the supplies to our soldiers stationed there.
03:07 But before this, the water cannon of the CCG ship
03:11 bombed one of the resupply vessels of the ML Kalayaan
03:14 which was first condemned by the government.
03:17 As the Coast Guard is concerned,
03:18 we monitored that the water cannon was aimed at the motor launch Kalayaan.
03:24 But despite of the water cannon incident,
03:26 the motor launch Kalayaan still managed to proceed to BRP Sierra Madre
03:31 and to unload her supplies.
03:33 Despite the repeated harassment,
03:35 the PCG did not give up
03:37 where the ships of the Yunin Shoal are only 1 nautical mile away
03:42 and the BRP Sierra Madre is more visible.
03:45 Less than 2 nautical miles away from the Yunin Shoal
03:51 and from where we are checking the ship, the BRP Belchora Aquino,
03:55 that ship is visible.
03:58 That is the BRP Sierra Madre.
04:01 The PCG said,
04:02 "To the resupply missions that were completed,
04:05 the Philippines ships are only this close."
04:11 Just a few moments ago, the PCG lowered a rigid-hull inflatable boat.
04:16 The ship is closer to the BRP Sierra Madre.
04:19 One of the PTV News,
04:21 where the inflatable boat was riding,
04:23 as a member of the media.
04:25 But China also lowered up to 4 aluminum boats
04:28 from their ships.
04:30 Now, we are inside the Yunin Shoal
04:34 in the West Philippine Sea.
04:36 We are now checking the rigid-hull inflatable boat.
04:40 It was lowered by the Philippine Coast Guard
04:42 from their ship, BRP Belchora Aquino.
04:46 But behind us, there are smaller vessels
04:50 of the China Coast Guard.
04:52 But, what we can see here,
04:56 we can see the BRP Sierra Madre.
05:02 On the other side,
05:04 the three inflatable boats of the PCG
05:06 are closer to the BRP Sierra Madre,
05:08 which is only 700 meters away.
05:10 We can see the current situation of the situation.
05:14 It's true that this is the first time
05:16 that the Philippine Coast Guard launched our rigs.
05:18 I have three answers for that.
05:20 One, it's because this is only the first time
05:22 that we were able to come that close
05:24 for us to have that opportunity
05:26 for us to have the ability to deploy our rig.
05:30 Second, since we have that kind of opportunity
05:36 to deploy our rigs,
05:38 we took this chance to bring our media friends
05:42 to be able to witness
05:44 how the Chinese Coast Guard aluminum boats
05:48 are still being deployed
05:50 as they attempt to harass and prevent
05:52 their supply boats
05:54 from going alongside BRP Sierra Madre.
05:56 And then the third reason is, of course,
05:58 we believe that we don't want to,
06:02 we don't want the Chinese government
06:06 to still continuously argue
06:08 that they have the total control of Ayunginshol.
06:12 After 12 o'clock in the afternoon,
06:14 the rig was completed
06:16 and the resupply boats returned from Ayunginshol.
06:18 In total,
06:20 38 presence of the Chinese maritime militia vessel
06:22 were seen.
06:24 Five Chinese Coast Guard boats
06:26 and four from the People's Liberation Army.
06:28 However, the government again
06:30 restricted the continuous operation
06:32 of the resupply mission
06:34 in accordance with the international law
06:36 within our territory.
06:38 From the West Philippine Sea,
06:40 Patrick De Asus for the nation.
06:42 Patrick de Assos, Para sa Bayan.
