00:00In addition to chasing the BIFAR ships, the BIFAR's China's laser also lighted up the airplane.
00:07It is also dangerous because it is possible for it to explode temporarily.
00:11Ian Cruz was on the scene.
00:16At the speed of the two Chinese missile boats camouflaged in color,
00:19they looked up at the air, at the part of the West Philippine Sea near the Ha-Sa-Ha in Seoul.
00:25I was on the airplane of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BIFAR.
00:29The two Chinese missile ships that we saw here in the West Philippine Sea near the Ha-Sa-Ha in Seoul,
00:36they were chasing the two BIFAR ships that came here to Ha-Sa-Ha in Seoul to bring aid to the fishermen here.
00:45Aside from their pursuit of the BRP Datu Matanam Taradapit and BRP Datu Rumapennet of BIFAR,
00:51I also saw there the China Coast Guard Vessel 21555.
00:55This is also the one that crossed the BRP Bagakay of the Philippine Coast Guard and BRP Datu Sanday of BIFAR once.
01:03Later, the missile boat lighted up our airplane.
01:10Our pilots did not hesitate on the missile boat.
01:14They immediately did a radio challenge on the missile boat.
01:21You are endangering our safety.
01:24Do not fire laser on our aircraft.
01:28The Chinese did not respond.
01:30But the missile boat lasered twice more, as if it was blinded.
01:35If our pilot's eyes are exposed, it will cause temporary blindness.
01:40Subsequently, the direction of the missile boats changed and they slowed down.
01:46According to the National Maritime Council,
01:48the Chinese Navy's missile boat just landed on our civilian vessel.
01:52The report on BIFAR and its media coverage will be given to the DFA.
01:58This will be a part of what the Department of Foreign Affairs will do
02:04to consolidate all their information
02:10for proper protest, not verbal.
02:18Before the disaster, we also passed by Ayungin Shoal where the BRP Sierra Madre is still sailing
02:25one day after the success of the rotation and resupply mission.
02:29We also saw the Mischief or Panganiban Reef that was conquered by China since 1995
02:35and there is the Paliparant Lagoon where their ships docked.
02:40There are also many Chinese ships around Pagasa Island and its sand canes.
02:45It is not surprising that China's military base in Subi or Zamora Reef is the only one.
02:50In Iroquois Reef, there are 24 maritime militia vessels and 1 warship of China.
02:57On the other hand, we saw the BIFAR vessels that are still sailing and docking
03:03in their mission to provide crude oil and other supplies to the fishermen there.
03:09China's ships in mainland Palawan are already close to the two-day maritime patrol of BIFAR.
03:17Because China Coast Guard 5202 and Chinese warship 551 are close to Palawan since last Thursday,
03:24our pilot already radioed them the next day.
03:33At just 30 nautical miles west of the Palawan mainland,
03:41what is your intention inside the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone?
03:46The National Maritime Council is worried.
03:49It is non-negotiable if they enter our 12 nautical miles, our territory.
03:56We can already do more physical challenges.
04:01We can even board them.
04:04For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
