00:13The Police Regional Office 5 confirmed that the submarine found in the sea of San Pascual, Masbate came from China.
00:21According to the PNP Director of Police Brigadier General Andre Perez Dizon,
00:25based on their initial investigation, Chinese markings were found on the so-called submarine drone.
00:31The submarine drone, which has a HY-119 model, is used in operations such as communication, underwater surveillance, oceanographic research, and naval operations.
00:42In addition, it is also capable of frequency hopping to avoid easy detection while it is moving under the sea.
00:51According to Dizon, a group of three fishermen found it in the sea of Barangay Iniwaran on December 30.
00:59They immediately brought the drone to the police station and now the PNP Bicol has turned over the submarine drone to the Philippine Navy to investigate it.
