00:05 but the Philippine Coast Guard also issued an automatic identification system
00:10 that they are using to protect themselves from being jammed by China.
00:14 Chino Gaston has a report.
00:16 In the satellite image taken on February 22,
00:22 floating barriers in the Bajo de Masinloc are still visible

00:40 The AIS is giving the location of a ship in the sea using satellite technology.
00:45 This is included in the international regulations on the protection of the sea.

00:53 that every time we are there, they say they were successful in driving us away.
01:00 Because of the widespread destruction of the Chinese and Vietnamese ships
01:04 in the entire South China Sea,
01:06 Senator Francis Tolentino issued a resolution to investigate
01:10 the illegal and illegal fishing methods.
01:13 The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources clarified the information used by the Chinese.
01:19 The Bajo de Masinloc is from the Philippine fishermen there.

01:32 Was it cyanide? What other destructive fishing methods were used
01:37 to result in the destruction of the garbage in the area.
01:42 The spokesperson of the Chinese embassy said that there is no basis
01:45 and that the Chinese fishermen used cyanide in the Bajo de Masinloc
