00:00In other news, the Philippine Coast Guard is not going to leave the Escoda Shoal of BRP Teresa Magbanua
00:06even if it is bombed and pierced by a Chinese ship.
00:10Vol Aquino was there.
00:16A person can pierce this huge hole in BRP Teresa Magbanua.
00:21It was hit three times by the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 5205.
00:26The Philippine Coast Guard was able to see the other ships that were hit.
00:31There is a damage on the bridge wing and also on the freeboard of the 9707.
00:379701.
00:38There is this hole that also was a result of a direct ramming conducted by the China Coast Guard
00:46and also on this part.
00:48BRP Teresa Magbanua is alone in the Escoda Shoal.
00:52Yesterday afternoon, three ships of the China Coast Guard, five Chinese militia vessels
00:58and two ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy were surrounded.
01:04Until it was hit by the China Coast Guard Vessel 5205.
01:08It turned around on the other side of the bridge.
01:12Hold it.
01:14Close their plan.
01:17The Chinese Coast Guard carried out dangerous maneuvers
01:22despite of being unprovoked.
01:24There was no damage to the ships that were still surrounded.
01:28Based on the post of the ex-maritime security expert, Ray Powell,
01:32more than 15 Chinese vessels were surrounded by BRP Teresa Magbanua
01:37past 8 o'clock this morning.
01:40Yesterday, the US, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the UK
01:45five Chinese vessels were harassed in the Philippines
01:48inside our exclusive economic zone this August.
01:52The China Coast Guard, PCG, is to blame.
01:55They even released their own video to show that our ships were deliberately surrounded.
02:00The Philippines was again warned by China
02:03that our ships should be removed because their sovereignty is being violated.
02:08It's really infuriating.
02:10When we say we were surrounded, how crazy that argument is.
02:18It's only been a minute, four minutes, and we were again surrounded.
02:23For people who are arguing, I think it's very frustrating,
02:30especially when we see on social media that we have our fellow Filipinos.
02:36Worse yet is the former government.
02:40Last April, BRP Teresa Magbanua was at the Escoda show
02:44and was brought there amidst the reclamation activities of China.
02:49On the other hand, the content released by China
02:52in their released documentary on Escoda,
02:55which they call Xian Binjiao,
02:57did not say that they are destroying the garbage there,
03:00but that the activities of the Philippines are destroying the environment there.
03:05We are still trying to get a statement from the PCG about this,
03:08but the PCG said that BRP Teresa Magbanua will not leave.
03:13We will still hold the line and we will maintain our presence in Escoda show.
