00:00The Philippine Coast Guard's ship in Zambales was used to defend the ship of China.
00:07China also has a separate threat to the Filipinos who are conducting scientific studies in San Dikey 2.
00:15Chino Gaston was on the scene.
00:22In the first instance, according to the PCG,
00:24China Coast Guard used a Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, against the Chinese Coast Guard vessel
00:3390 nautical miles from the coastline of Zambales.
00:36Even though it was not seen, the sound of the LRAD was heard by the China Coast Guard
00:42in this video taken from the BRP Cabra last Saturday.
00:55You do not possess any legal authority to patrol within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:00You are directed to depart immediately.
01:03According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
01:06those who are used to using the China Coast Guard's LRAD have a bad effect of the LRAD
01:11that not only causes disorientation.
01:14The effect on the hearing of our people,
01:17first of all, it is destructive and it is painful to hear.
01:21According to the PCG, it did not stop the BRP Cabra from patrolling
01:28and today, it replaced the larger BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:33We're going to prevent them from moving forward.
01:36But our action today is to replace the BRP Cabra with our flagship,
01:43our largest ship, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:47We will continue to monitor and push back the China Coast Guard 3103.
01:54In a statement, the Chinese Embassy said that in their verification,
01:58the ships of the Chinese Coast Guard, like the PCG and BFAR, do not possess any LRAD.
02:07Before that, a helicopter of the China People's Liberation Army Navy
02:12flew near the BFAR this Friday.
02:16That was while the BFAR was approaching San Dique 2,
02:195 nautical miles or almost 10 kilometers from Asa Island
02:24to conduct a marine scientific study in the bay.
02:27The China Coast Guard also lowered the rubber boat to block the BFAR rubber boat.
02:33This doesn't stop us from ensuring that we can get sand samples
02:39in San Dique 2 and 3.
02:42The Philippine Coast Guard will still be carrying out this mission together with BFAR.
