00:00 The Philippine Coast Guard published the activities of the Chinese fishermen in Scarborough or Panatagchul since 2016.
00:11 This includes the fishing of giant clams, which lasted until 2019, which were actually caught by the PCG.
00:19 The Chinese service boats have not yet been satisfied with this and have also built a seabed of Bajo de Masinloc to look for crabs.
00:28 They also caught puffer fish and stingray, which were considered dead fish.
00:38 The PCG and National Security Council said that this would prove that the Chinese have been destroying the marine environment in Panatagchul for a long time
00:48 before the transparency initiative of the current administration was launched.
00:54 What we are saying is not true. The aggressive movement of China, destroying the environment, harassing the Filipino fishermen,
01:08 only happened during this administration. The objective of this is to give the right information to the Filipino people.
01:17 The PCG said that these pictures and videos were read in the office of the President and National Intelligence Coordinating Agency during the Duterte administration.
01:29 If there was any action here before, the PCG will be responsible.
01:32 I don't know.
01:34 The NSC challenged China to open Bajo de Masinloc to international scrutiny to prove that they did not destroy the marine environment here.
01:45 They are the ones that are there right now. They are preventing us from going inside the lagoon.
01:52 So that in order for the world to find out if China indeed has fulfilled its obligations under international law,
01:59 let's open Bajo de Masinloc to international scrutiny.
02:03 We can ask third-party environmental groups or even the United Nations to do a fact-finding mission to determine the environmental situation in Bajo de Masinloc.
02:15 The government will use the pictures and videos obtained as additional evidence in the investigation of the case against China.
02:24 Meanwhile, the NSC denied that China Coast Guard has no right to arrest illegal immigrants entering the South China Sea,
02:33 including those who are moving their territory in the West Philippine Sea.
02:37 Under the regulations approved by China, the detention will last up to 40 days and there will be no trial starting on June 15.
02:46 The NSC called this a threat by China.
02:50 These regulations cannot apply to the exclusive economic zone of coastal states like Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, or the Philippines, or any other country for that matter.
03:04 These new Chinese Coast Guard regulations is nothing more than part of China's scare tactics to intimidate and coerce its Asian neighbors.
03:16 It is provocative, escalatory, and increases the tensions in the South China Sea.
03:26 The Philippines will not be intimidated nor coerced by the Chinese Coast Guard. We will never succumb to these scare tactics.
03:37 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. also said that the regulations are unacceptable, while the Filipinos are crying for the safety of the WPS.
03:48 The NSC also continued to urge the Filipino fishermen to continue their search for life in the West Philippine Sea,
03:56 while crying that they will be protected by the PCG and the Philippine Navy.
