00:00Various agencies of the Philippine government also condemned yesterday's incident in Ayungin Shoal
00:05between Philippine and Chinese ships.
00:08Joseph Moro has the news for you.
00:14China and the Philippines' sea vehicles reached the West Philippine Sea again.
00:19An unidentified resupply vessel of the Philippines and a ship of the China Coast Guard
00:23docked. According to the Chinese state-run TV network CGTN,
00:28the Philippine ship illegally entered the Ayungin Shoal, which they call the Reney Reef.
00:33The CCG carried out control measures in accordance with the law.
00:38According to the CCG, the Philippine ship repeatedly ignored China's warnings
00:43and intended to approach a Chinese ship in an unprofessional manner that resulted in a docking.
00:49The Philippines is the one who violated the international regulations for the prevention
00:53of collisions at sea and the one who is guilty of the incident.
00:57No one was mentioned as to whether the ship was damaged or damaged.
00:59But according to the reliable source of GMA Integrated News,
01:03a soldier was injured in the incident.
01:06A medical evacuation was carried out and the soldier's condition is still unknown.
01:11The Armed Forces of the Philippines will not allow the Chinese Coast Guard
01:16to carry out illegal operations.
01:17We will not dignify the deceptive and misleading claims of the China Coast Guard.
01:22The main issue remains to be the illegal presence and actions of Chinese vessels within the
01:27Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone, which infringes on our sovereignty and sovereign rights.
01:33The continued aggressive actions of the CCG are escalating tensions in the region.
01:38In a statement, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea condemned the illegal
01:43and misleading actions of the China Maritime Forces, which includes the China Coast Guard.
01:48It said that it put the lives of the personnel at risk and resulted in the damage of the ships.
01:54The AFP and the Philippine Coast Guard joined forces for the routine rotation and resupply
01:58mission.
01:59The task force added that the personnel remained professional and avoided escalating tensions.
02:05Defense Secretary Gilbert Chodoro said that the AFP will continue to fight the mischievous
02:11and aggressive actions of China in the West Philippine Sea.
02:13The CCG will continue to guard the other parts of the West Philippine Sea.
02:18In the middle of the China Strait, it is capturing non-Chinese entering their territory.
02:23The CCG sent BRP Sindangan and BRP Malapascua to guard the Filipino fishermen in Bajo Dimansinlok.
02:33As of now, there are no arrests against the Filipinos.
02:37There is no prohibition for us to fish in Bajo Dimansinlok.
02:42That is why the Philippine Coast Guard ships continue to patrol.
02:49Our advice is to avoid, especially the small groups that come up and fish,
03:01that may grow in the Chinese Coast Guard vessels.
