00:00The Philippine Coast Guard flew an Islander aircraft again today,
00:04followed by the so-called closest Chinese Coast Guard flight to the country's land yesterday,
00:10the PCG.
00:11There's a theory as to why the Chinese ships seem to be returning to our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:17Chino Gaston has been pointed out.
00:19You do not possess any legal authority to patrol within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:48The Philippine Coast Guard flew an Islander aircraft again today,
00:52followed by the so-called closest Chinese Coast Guard flight to the country's land yesterday,
00:57the PCG.
00:57There's a theory as to why the Chinese ships seem to be returning to our Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:10Yes, that was the closest that we can say.
01:14The 34-nautical-miles connection yesterday is continuous.
01:21We detected that it approached, but it never stayed there for a long time.
01:28We believe that China wants to normalize their illegal deployment of China Coast Guard vessel
01:37also within our own Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:40The PCG will continue to radio-challenge and, if possible,
01:43deter the Chinese ships from the country's EEZ.
01:47Just like in the so-called China's Monster Ship 5901,
01:51which from 50-nautical-miles was deterred by BRP Teresa Magbanwa
01:56120-nautical-miles from the coastline of Zambales.
01:59For more than 30 days already,
02:01our Coast Guard vessels were able to push them away from our coastline.
02:06The PCG is adamant that in the face of China Coast Guard's aggressive moves,
02:11the PCG will continue to patrol and guard the coast.
02:16Meanwhile, AFP Northern Luzon Command confirmed
02:20that the 3 People's Liberation Army Navy Warship 57-nautical-miles from Bajo de Masinlo
02:28was detected and radio-challenged by BRP Jose Rizal.
02:30BRP Rizal also radio-challenged a Guided Missile Junkai-2 Class Frigate.
02:36It is illegal for planned warships in Bajo de Masinlo to remain there
02:41and to violate international law and destroy the region's peace and stability.
02:47The Chinese Foreign Ministry previously stated that the deployment of their ships
02:51in their so-called territory is in accordance with their law and international law.
