00:00 The Philippine Navy has condemned the gathering of Chinese militia vessels in the Rosul Reef.
00:06 Aside from that, the Chinese Coast Guard also witnessed the gathering of Chinese militia vessels in the Rosul Reef.
00:12 The Philippine Navy has deemed an act of aggression as an act of unlawful gathering of 32 Chinese militia vessels in the Rosul or Iroquois Reef
00:26 which is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
00:29 Whatever they do, in the first place, they should not even be there.
00:32 The agents of aggression of China should not be there.
00:38 They should not be allowed inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:41 Even though the BRO of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources asked the BRO several times,
00:47 the Chinese fishing militia vessels that are gathering there did not respond.
00:52 The militia vessels are considered as the fishermen but they are under the control of the China Coast Guard.
00:58 The Chinese vessels are scattered in the sea, unlike the formation that was seen in April
01:03 where the ships were stuck together while anchored in the Iroquois Reef.
01:07 In the Philippine Coast Guard and BFAR, the Chinese vessels are not included.
01:10 The Chinese vessels are included in 32, aside from the ships of the Chinese Coast Guard.
01:15 The Philippine Coast Guard has yet to say what they are doing in the area.
01:20 Space Warmer or Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:22 Or perhaps, what the Chinese maritime militia is doing, they are always the reserve force
01:32 of whatever harassment that the China Coast Guard will do.
01:36 In April, GMA Integrated News and BFAR went to the Rosul Reef
01:41 to see the so-called crushed coral that was found in the bay.
01:45 Here, they saw almost white pieces of coral that part of it was floating from the water during low tide.
01:52 The gathering of the Chinese fishing militia in the Iroquois Reef happened a few days after the harassment
01:58 of the Chinese Coast Guard, marine scientists and PCG that visited Escoda
02:03 to see the environmental damage in Bahura.
