00:00 Many fishermen in Zambales have complained to the law enforcement agencies
00:05 about their harassment from China whenever they go fishing in Bajo de Macinloc.
00:12 This is the center of the news of Mela Lez Moras.
00:15 Some fishermen in Zambales were emotional when they announced
00:21 that China continued harassing Oscar Borruchol in Bajo de Macinloc.
00:25 This is one of the public consultations of the House Committee on National Defense and Security
00:31 with the Special Committee on the West Philippine Sea about the issues in the WPS.
00:36 One of the fishermen shared a video of how they were being blocked
00:45 by a Chinese Coast Guard boat even though they usually can't go fishing.
00:50 That's why they are now asking the congressmen to stop them.
00:55 I'm just passing through Luja.
00:59 I'm just passing through because you're going down.
01:04 You probably feel our suffering.
01:07 Who will help us?
01:09 We don't know anyone because we're small.
01:12 Who will help us?
01:14 If there's an election, you know us.
01:17 If there's a problem, you don't know us.
01:18 How?
01:19 This is direct.
01:22 This is direct. I'm saying this from my heart.
01:26 Noli, I felt you earlier.
01:30 I felt you.
01:31 Because you're saying that when elections come,
01:34 this is where politicians will come out.
01:36 But you know, brother, I would like to emphasize that
01:41 the order of our president and speaker Martin Romualdez,
01:45 he won't be campaigning for President Marcos.
01:49 But you saw the fight he's doing for the countries that want to join our country.
01:55 He's facing his humanity.
01:58 So, even if there's an election and there's none, we will fight them.
02:02 The camera was shocked that they will be able to address the issue,
02:05 which is also in accordance with the order of the House Speaker Martin Romualdez
02:09 and President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:11 For now, one of the most feared fishermen is the Chinese coast guard
02:16 who will be arrested by foreign trespassers in the territories they are occupying.
02:21 But when the congressmen shouted,
02:23 We will protect our fishermen,
02:26 the Philippine Coast Guard, our soldiers,
02:31 to help protect our fishermen who are free to find a life in their own country.
02:40 We understand their fear and anxiety.
02:44 But we believe in the power of our government
02:49 and in the power of our government to protect our fishermen,
02:55 especially in our exclusive economic zone.
02:58 Aside from this, the leader of the Camarad also assured
03:01 that they will alert other concerned government agencies
03:04 to stop their actions on the issue.
03:08 The budget season is coming.
03:10 We heard the pleas of our fishermen and other requests
03:15 of my colleague, Jey Congon, and my fellow Filipinos.
03:19 So rest assured that we will form an inter-agency to have an answer.
