00:04when maritime patrols were conducted on the San Dikey side of Pag-asa Island.
00:08This is Clayzel Pardilla in Detaille.
00:20While maritime patrols were conducted,
00:22the two ships of Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in the West Philippine Sea
00:27faced a new type of harassment by China against the Philippine troops.
00:31Last Friday, the BRP Cabilo approached the San Dikey,
00:375 nautical miles away from Pag-asa Island,
00:41a Chinese militia,
00:43which by Bone No. 00108,
00:46crossed the starboard side of the Philippine ships.
00:50Before that,
00:52the Chinese militia repeatedly carried out dangerous maneuvers
00:57to block the BRP Cabilo.
00:59This resulted in a collision
01:01and the first part of the B-4 ship was damaged.
01:06In spite of the incident,
01:08the BRP Cabilo and BRP Datu Sandai succeeded
01:13in the mission to Pag-asa Island.
01:16It was safe on the shore of Pag-asa Island.
01:19The San Dikey can be found 5.1 nautical miles away
01:24south-southwest of Pag-asa Island
01:27and within 12 nautical miles of our territorial waters.
01:33The Philippine troops were considered by the B-4
01:36to have resisted and diminished the jurisdiction
01:40and rights to our exclusive economic zone.
01:43First, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.,
01:48that the Philippines will not give in
01:50to the invasion and occupation of China
01:54and will remain its presence in the West Philippine Sea.
