00:00 Despite the continued harassment of China by the Philippine ships in the West Philippine
00:06 Sea, the resupply missions for the soldiers there will continue.
00:10 AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr. is confident that they will not leave Ayungin
00:17 Shoal.
00:18 It is our responsibility, our obligation to supply our soldiers to the BRP, Sierra Madre
00:27 and Ayungin Shoal.
00:28 According to Browner, a holistic approach is needed on how to do that.
00:33 They are in consultation with the Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
00:41 Resources and with the Philippine fishermen here.
00:44 They will also continue their activities such as the supplying of diplomatic protest and
00:50 consultation with officials of China.
00:54 Despite this, it is not yet time for the Philippine-US mutual defense treaty to be implemented.
01:00 It is in accordance with the agreement that the Philippines will defend the United States
01:04 if there is an armed attack.
01:07 The water cannon cannot be considered an armed attack.
01:14 The Department of Foreign Affairs is calling Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Wang
01:18 Zilian.
01:19 This is to complain about the subsequent incidents of harassment by China against the ships of
01:24 the country in Bajo de Masinloc and Ayungin Shoal.
01:27 The first to be confirmed by Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Teresita Daza was the call to
01:31 Wang.
01:32 Yesterday, the DFA also said that it has already highlighted the demarche or the declaration
01:37 of the position related to the incidents.
01:39 The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed that they are also in the same boat against the
01:43 Philippines.
01:44 Their spokesperson, Mao Ning, is a professional, controlled, capable, and strict.
01:51 And the actions of the China Coast Guard are in accordance with the law.
01:55 The Philippines is responsible for the whole incident because it did not fulfill its promise
02:01 to the Philippines to remove the damaged BRP Sierra Madre from Ayungin Shoal.
02:08 The former President and the former President have not promised anything to China.
02:15 As for the former protestors of the Philippines, the construction of structures in the Mischief
02:23 or Panganiban Reef is a major achievement in the aerial mission of the Bureau of Fisheries
02:30 and Aquatic Resources, Kabakilan.
02:32 The Philippines is also the recipient of the Marisol Abduraman Exclusive.
02:38 In the Escoda Shoal that entered the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines, the four
02:45 Chinese Maritime Militia Vessels anchored here can be seen from the air.
02:49 While we are approaching the Mischief or Panganiban Reef, the Chinese are already firing flares
02:54 from the Mischief Reef.
02:55 But we are still close enough to see the six huge cities in the middle of the sea.
03:10 We are now 500 feet above sea level and from here in our vicinity, what you can see here
03:17 in our background is the structure of China here in the Mischief Reef.
03:21 And you can see that there are trucks blocking the runway.
03:25 Aside from the Chinese forces, we also saw the Hangar, a large residence, sports complex,
03:32 Olympic-sized swimming pool, eight basketball courts and others.
03:37 And while we were in the air, their radio challenge did not stop.
03:41 We also saw the Chinese vessels that were guarding the BR Piscera Madre that was anchored
03:47 in the Yungin Shoal.
03:48 This area is now being surveyed by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
03:52 When did it start?
03:53 How many ships and boats of the Philippines were hit by water from the ships of China?
03:58 Our primary mission is to provide the air cover to the supposed to be made Christmas convoy
04:12 for the Ayungin Resupply.
04:14 We saw two Philippine vessels as well as the PCG vessels, but they were already being
04:24 anchored by the Chinese vessels.
04:27 It looks like they were not really attached to the BR Piscera Madre.
04:32 You can also see from the air the blocking of the rubber boats of the Philippine Navy
04:37 and the rigid hull inflatable boats of China so that the Philippine missions cannot get
04:44 close to the BR Piscera Madre.
04:46 They are increasing and they are becoming more aggressive to block the shoals, especially
04:51 the entry to the shoals.
04:53 That is why our fishermen are not able to enter.
04:58 It is 500 feet above sea level and from here we can already see the BR Piscera Madre that
05:05 is being surrounded by ships of China, including their Coast Guard, Navy and Chinese militia.
05:13 According to BFAR, more than a dozen ships were blocked by the Piscera Madre.
05:17 They are blocking the entry to the Piscera Madre.
05:24 If you notice, especially on the east side, it is there because the vessels that are supposed
05:31 to be resupplied will come from there.
05:34 In Julian Phillip Reef, the great wall of ships and maritime militia of China is being
05:39 built one after another.
05:41 We have already seen more than 100 Chinese militia.
05:45 They are more than 100, based on what we saw earlier.
05:50 We are also seeing a flare being fired from a shoal that is being occupied by Vietnam.
05:56 Sir, what does it mean when a flare is fired?
05:59 They are like on guard.
06:01 On guard?
06:02 Yes.
06:03 We are waiting.
