00:00President Bongbong Marcos may have foreseen the loss of China's air force's flares
00:06on the route of the Philippine Air Force's airplane while patrolling Bajo de Bacinluc.
00:10On the recto bank, which is very rich in oil, a research vessel of China passed by.
00:15Jonathan Andal was there.
00:21The harassment of China, not only in the sea, but also up to Himpapawid.
00:26The AFP said that China's air force lost flares on the route of the Philippine Air Force's airplane
00:32while patrolling Bajo de Bacinluc or Scarborough Shoal on Wednesday, August 8.
00:37The flares, sir, it emits light and heat.
00:40This is not right.
00:41It's not right, sir. Their actions are already provocative.
00:45The pilot and crew were not injured and were able to return safely to Clark Air Base.
00:49But they are in danger, so the AFP may also include the dangerous actions of China's pilots.
00:54The AFP reported to the Department of Foreign Affairs that this harassment of China
00:59is considered as violation of aviation safety regulations and international law.
01:04It interfered with lawful flight operations and our airspace.
01:08This is well within Philippine sovereignty and the restrictions.
01:12We will still conduct regular patrol and surveillance operations.
01:17This is in accordance with the law.
01:20President Bongbong Marcos also condemned the incident.
01:23He said that our soldiers will be supported, especially in the fight against the Himpapawid.
01:27China's air force's actions are illegal and unlawful.
01:32In addition to the flares, the tension is still not calmed
01:35yet there is still a possibility of instability in our airspace.
01:39The Philippines continues to follow diplomacy and a peaceful way to resolve the issue.
01:44The Philippines called on China to show that it can be responsible for Dagatman or Himpapawid.
01:50According to Reuters, the Southern Theater Command of the Chinese military said
01:54that it is illegal for the Philippines to enter their airspace and that their training was neglected.
01:59For a maritime law expert, the Philippines should strengthen its air defense system.
02:04In addition to the procurement of combat aircraft,
02:09the procurement of air defense missiles and radars should also be done
02:15to cover that area.
02:18The Philippine Navy confirmed that a research vessel of China
02:21was spotted in the southern part of the Recto Bank,
02:24which is very rich in oil and gas,
02:26but the Philippines is still not exploring it because of the robbery in China.
02:29Based on her track, most likely this ship is doing some research.
02:33What type of research, we could not say yet.
02:35We checked last week with the Department of Foreign Affairs
02:38if there was any request to conduct a research that was admitted and there was none.
02:42JMA Integrated News is still trying to get permission from the Chinese Embassy
02:47but there is still no answer for now.
02:48For JMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.
