00:00 The National Security Council has given a statement on the importance of having a rotational deployment in the West Philippine Sea,
00:07 particularly in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:10 According to NSC Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya,
00:13 "In addition to the efforts of our fishermen,
00:18 it is also a great help to implement the arbitral ruling and to protect our environment."
00:24 Malaya also stressed that China has already removed the obvious floating barrier in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:31 Meanwhile, Malaya also urged our fishermen to continue fishing in our territory
00:38 because they will continue to be guarded by the government.
00:41 "When our BFAR vessels left, they were also removed.
00:50 While our BFAR vessels were there, the barrier was there.
00:55 But immediately after the BFAR left, they were also removed.
00:59 Maybe they were afraid to cut it.
01:01 First of all, we want to urge our fishermen to continue fishing there.
01:09 That is part of our territory and the government is going to support you.
01:13 In fact, partner, after we rotated and deployed BRP Treza Manuan,
01:23 our large 97 or 96-meter coast guard ship, Jaans, in Bajo de Masinloc,
01:29 BRP Datu Tamblot of the BFAR, the Department of Agriculture,
01:37 and then after the BRP Datu Sandai's deployment in the Rizal Reef.
01:43 In the Rizal Reef, on the first week of February,
01:47 our government helped 16 commercial fishing vessels through the provision of all types of supplies.
01:56 So, not only in Bajo de Masinloc, we are helping the fishermen,
02:00 we are also helping in other places in the West Philippine Sea.
02:03 We are increasing our rotational presence.
02:06 So, to us, the fishermen, the call of the National Task Force West Philippines
02:11 and the National Security Council,
02:13 continue fishing there.
02:15 That is Philippine territory.
02:17 And we will strengthen the presence of our government through the coast guard,
02:21 through the BFAR, and of course, the regular patrols of the Philippine Navy.
