00:00 From the 6 Chinese militia ships of February, 25 were spotted in Bajo de Masinloc, according to the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:10 Chino Gaston was in touch.
00:12 The Philippine Coast Guard confirmed that 25 Chinese fishing militia ships are now gathering in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:22 Two Chinese coast guard ships, numbered 3106 and 3302, were also spotted, according to the Philippine Coast Guard on the West Philippine Sea.
00:33 In addition, two fishing militia ships were spotted by the coast guard inside Bajo de Masinloc.
00:38 There is no floating barrier in the mouth of the Bajura.
00:41 Sometimes, China puts a hole there, but the Philippines leaves.
00:45 Twelve Philippine fishing boats were seen fishing in Bajura.
00:50 In a social media post, ten Chinese fishing militia ships were seen by security analyst Ray Powell, along with two Chinese coast guard ships.
01:00 The Philippine Coast Guard confirmed and monitored by Powell that there are more than six Chinese fishing militia ships
01:07 that were spotted in February when the GMA News went to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
01:15 along with the Chinese fishing militia ships in the Bifar harbour so that they cannot approach the Bajura.
01:20 We are trying to get the Chinese Embassy's explanation as to why the Chinese ships suddenly increased in the area,
01:28 said a security analyst.
01:30 It is still possible that China's activities in the West Philippine Sea are connected to the help of President Bongbong Marcos,
01:36 U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio in Washington, D.C. in America.
01:44 It might be a coincidence, it just so happened that the fishing ground is fertile, so it's an ideal season to converge in that area.
01:52 Another possible option, of course, is the fact that they might be sending a signal that they're showing Chinese resolve
01:59 despite the holding of the Trilateral Summit.
02:02 Will that be intimidated by the ironclad commitment extended to the Philippines by the United States and by the Trilateral Summit?
