00:00 In the exclusive video that was obtained by GMA Integrated News,

00:03 the Philippine Coast Guard's ship was seen

00:06 on one of the balconies of China in the middle of the Roure Mission towards Ayungin Shoal.

00:10 The former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said

00:14 that there was a chance of a gentleman's agreement

00:16 between President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping

00:20 regarding the West Philippine Sea.

00:22 Witnesses are JP Soriano and Marisol Abdo.

01:29 It's not seaworthy because as you can see, it's really damaged.

01:36 The UNAESA May 4 mission is 46 meters long and 7.29 meters wide.

01:41 It was started last year for humanitarian missions

01:46 of various agencies and resupply missions in Ayungin Shoal.

01:49 But it will be stopped for now, just like the UNAESA May.

01:53 We also fixed the UNAESA May 1.

01:56 Last time, there were also damages.

02:00 When Admiral Carlos and I rode, we were hit in the back.

02:05 So there was also damage.

02:07 [Foreign Language]

02:09 I cannot answer that.

02:12 The Chinese Coast Guard is really causing damages to our resupply boats.

02:16 But the resupply missions are still going on.

02:19 We are helping each other on how we will do the next resupply missions

02:26 such that we can avoid these incidents that will cause injuries.

02:35 The presence of our uniformed personnel here in the West Philippine Sea is continuous.

02:44 We are also maintaining our sovereignty and our sovereign rights.

02:51 We will continue to follow the next mission.

02:55 We will continue to follow the next mission.

02:58 No, we cannot. We cannot default.

03:00 Within a few hours, the Philippine and Chinese vessels

03:08 along with the UNAESA May 4,

03:10 the PCG vessels of BRP Cabra and BRP Sindangan,

03:15 according to the PCG,

03:16 at 5.30 in the morning, the Chinese Coast Guard and maritime militia

03:21 started their blockade of the two PCG vessels.

03:24 At 8 in the morning,

03:26 the Coast Guard vessels observed the UNAESA May 4

03:29 when they started bombing the water.

03:32 At first, by 8 o'clock,

03:34 the intention was only to drive away the UNAESA May 4

03:38 to sway her from her path.

03:40 In other words, to drive her away from moving closer to the island.

03:46 After 10 minutes, by 8.10,

03:49 we already saw the China Coast Guard vessel 21551

03:55 doing the direct shot of the water cannon towards the UN4.

04:01 The UNAESA May 4 hit the water cannon 8 times

04:07 and the PCG vessels were forced to evacuate.

04:12 At one point, the BRP Sindangan accidentally bombed

04:17 the Chinese vessel.

04:19 Until the rescue of the UNAESA May 4 crews

04:24 was finally completed,

04:26 the Chinese still tried to blockade the vessel.

04:29 When the BRP Sindangan arrived there,

04:31 once again, the Chinese maritime militia

04:33 together with the Chinese Coast Guard

04:35 entrapped the BRP Sindangan.

04:39 That's why it's not Sindangan that was able to rescue the UNAESA May 4.

04:45 It's BRP Catra.

04:47 The Chinese water cannon shot was only one shot

04:52 according to Attorney Harry Roque,

04:54 former spokesperson of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

04:58 There was a gentleman's agreement,

05:01 this was oral during the time of President Duterte,

05:04 that both sides, China and the Philippines,

05:07 will respect my status.

05:09 That means, the Philippines will not do anything

05:12 to repair the UNESOL, the Sierra Madre.

05:18 And the Chinese said, that's why they shot the water cannon

05:21 because it's against the agreement of my status.

05:24 Because of my status, the materials for repair of the Sierra Madre

05:28 should not be sent.

05:30 This is also what a senior official of China said,

05:34 who talked to several people of GMA Integrated News.

05:38 He refused to give a name, but he said,

05:41 "Along with the agreement of Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping,

05:45 that only one ship can enter the UNESOL

05:49 to bring food and water to the Filipino soldiers

05:53 in the BRP Sierra Madre.

05:55 There should also be no journalists."

05:58 The National Security Council said,

06:00 "They do not know about the gentleman's agreement

06:04 between China and the Philippines,"

06:06 said Roque.

06:08 He should explain this statement

06:11 because if it's true, it's against our sovereignty.

06:16 If there is a agreement,

06:18 it is being returned by President Bongbong Marcos.

06:21 That's why the repeated promises of the Philippines and China

06:26 are useless because it has no legal basis.

06:30 We asked for the reaction of the Department of Foreign Affairs,

06:33 but they haven't responded yet.

06:35 First, they said that China has submitted a proposal

06:40 to the Philippines,

06:42 in accordance with the implementation of the RAW remission

06:45 towards the BRP Sierra Madre.

06:47 It was not tied by the DFA,

06:49 but they said that it was denied

06:52 because it is against the interests of the Philippines.

06:55 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.

06:59 Marisol Abduraman, your witness.

07:03 My fellow Filipinos, let's be witnesses together.

07:10 and for all our fellow Filipinos abroad,
