00:00The Philippine Navy continues to investigate the origin of the discovered submersible drone in Masbate.
00:06Meanwhile, the Philippine Coast Guard is keen to maintain the so-called monster ship of China
00:13that is still inside the territory of the country.
00:16This is what Patrick De Jesus reported.
00:20The Armed Forces of the Philippines is taking seriously the discovery of the submersible drone in Masbate
00:27that was recovered by fishermen.
00:29It is now under the forensic analysis of the Philippine Navy.
00:33It has been almost two months since it was discovered.
00:38In the initial observation, the yellow and red colored drone is possible to be used in scientific research and fish tracking.
00:48It is 3.5 meters long, 24 centimeters wide, and weighs more than 70 kilos.
00:55All angles will be examined by the Navy, including the military component.
01:00The analysis will examine the object's physical structure, electronic components, power source, and any possible stored data.
01:09Equipment such as this are used for gathering bathymetric data such as water temperature, the depth of water, and salinity.
01:21As mentioned, the AFP is on top of the situation and taking this seriously.
01:27A lot of speculation has been going on, but let me state that speculation is no substitute for evidence.
01:37This is not the first time that a drone has been recovered in our ocean.
01:41In August of last year, a sea drone was found in the northern part of the country.
01:46In September, there were pieces of another drone.
01:52The Navy said that they do not neglect such devices that are being discovered in our country and in protecting our territory.
02:01Just because no reports come out, doesn't mean your AFP is timid or not doing anything.
02:07We're trying to look at the video picture and correlate the numbers.
02:11Meanwhile, the palace is in charge of maintaining the monster ship of the China Coast Guard in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
02:21Review it with concern.
02:23So far, we have been challenging the presence of that monster ship.
02:29The Coast Guard, our Coast Guard, has always been very alert in following up the presence of that monster ship.
02:40The PRP Cabra of the PCG continues to monitor the monster ship of China and issue a radio challenge.
02:47We are reminding you that you are within 76 nautical miles west of Capolice Point, Zambales,
02:54inside the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
02:57Please leave this area immediately. Over.
03:00Since Saturday, the PCG has been monitoring the assets that were first detected with the help of the Dark Vessel Detection System of Canada.
