00:00The two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard were destroyed after the ships of the China Coast Guard were bombed.
00:05The Chinese Coast Guard also launched a ship of the Philippines to bomb their ship.
00:11Chino Gaston was shot.
00:17In this video posted by the China Coast Guard on the social messaging app,
00:21the BRP Bagacay and the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 21551 bombed
00:26earlier at 13.30 am in Escoda Shoal.
00:29The BRP Bagacay is part of the Rotation and Reprovision Mission
00:33in Patag and Lawak Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
00:35The PCG said that the CCG Vessel bombed the Bagacay twice
00:39which caused minor structural damage.
00:42But the China Coast Guard said in their post that the Philippines
00:45deliberately bombed the ship of the China Coast Guard.
00:48In another video, the China Coast Guard said that the PCG's ship suddenly turned around
00:53and bombed their ship.
00:55But according to the National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea Spokesperson,
00:59Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya,
01:01the video was just a copy of the video that was spliced and edited from China.
01:25It was the other way around.
01:2821551, in truth, rammed our vessel, BRP Bagacay, two times.
01:34According to the PCG, the China Coast Guard 21551
01:38repeatedly bombed the BRP Cabra at the Eungin Shoal last September.
01:43It also chased the B-4 Vessel that sailed less than a month ago.
01:49At the same time of bombing the BRP Bagacay,
01:51the China Coast Guard Vessel 3104 deliberately bombed the Cape Enganyo.
01:57It left a deep hole and a big hole on the side of the PCG's ship.
02:02From inside the ship, the CCTV camera near the other equipment of the ship was also damaged
02:07due to the steel that was pulled from the bombing.
02:11No crew was injured on the two ships.
02:14And even if it was damaged,
02:15the Cape Enganyo and the BRP Bagacay continued to sail towards Patag and Lawak Island.
02:20We can fairly say that this is the biggest structural damage that we have incurred
02:27as a result of the dangerous maneuver carried out by the Chinese Coast Guard
02:32which resulted to collision.
02:33Maybe they were thinking that these 44-meter vessels
02:38will be reinforcing the presence of Teresa Magbuan.
02:43The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea was dismayed
02:46by the actions of the China Coast Guard
02:48after the Philippines and China reached an agreement
02:51on a bilateral consultation mechanism
02:53on resupplying the BRP Sierra Madre in Iungin Shoal.
02:57According to the former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio,
02:59the destruction of the Coast Guard vessels
03:01is a sufficient basis to file a complaint
03:04under the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea.
03:07The best thing since the Coast Guard is a civilian vessel,
03:15this is now governed by UNCLOS.
03:18It's unlike Iungin Shoal which is a military activity.
03:21This is a civilian activity.
03:23We can go to UNCLOS and sue China for damages
03:28and the tribunal will reaffirm that that is part of the EEZ
03:34and that will again debunk China's 10-dash line.
03:37In a statement, US Ambassador to the Philippines,
03:41Mary Kay Carlson, condemned the dangerous maneuvers
03:43of the China Coast Guard
03:44that endangered the lives of the crew
03:47and destroyed two PCG vessels.
03:49America is supporting the rights of friends,
03:53allies, and allies under international law.
