00:00The Chinese Coast Guard or CCG's ships have repeatedly made dangerous maneuvers
00:06while the Philippine Coast Guard was heading to the Ruzul Reef
00:09to rescue fishermen who were being harassed by the People's Liberation Army of China.
00:15When the PCG arrived at the Ruzul Reef,
00:17there were not immediately 18 boats of Filipino fishermen
00:22because the CCG was on guard.
00:25According to the PCG, there was also an incident
00:28where two boats sank due to bad weather,
00:32but the surrounding CCG did not help.
00:35The CCG often asked for the last fish
00:39of the Filipino fishermen at the Ruzul Reef.
00:42When the fishermen were able to board the PCG's ship,
00:45they were able to receive an early Christmas from the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:51To the Commandant,
00:52the moment we learned that there were Filipino fishermen
00:56here at the Ruzul Reef,
00:58we will ensure that we are going to maintain our presence there
01:02to ensure the safety and security of our Filipino fishermen.
01:06They are more confident that they can be able to freely fish
01:09and the Chinese are going to hesitate harassing our Filipino fishermen
01:15if there is a Philippine Coast Guard vessel
01:17or any Philippine maritime forces here in the West Philippine Sea.
