00:00It's possible that China will bring back its monster ship.
00:04But they still have 4 ships being guarded by the Philippine Coast Guard
00:08in Bajo de Masinlok.
00:10In the middle of the Philippines' claim
00:13that there's no promise of removing the Typhoon Missiles from America,
00:18Reuters News Agency repeated that the country is buying short-range missiles.
00:25Chino Gaston is on fire.
00:31After a few months in the sea in Bajo de Masinlok,
00:35which is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,
00:38the monster ship China Coast Guard Vessel 5901
00:43that is moving towards the southern part of the West Philippine Sea
00:47was last seen 164 nautical miles from Mindoro.
00:51According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
00:53if the former mission and release of the monster ship is going to be fulfilled,
00:59it will be brought back by China.
01:21After the release of the monster ship,
01:22the other 4 ships of China Coast Guard are still being guarded in Bajo de Masinlok.
01:28There's another Chinese Coast Guard Vessel
01:30that is being jumped by the BRP Cabra in the Sea of Zambales.
01:34The Philippines has already accused China several times
01:37that they are causing trouble in the continuous movement of the Coast Guard
01:41and VFAR Vessels in Bajo de Masinlok and other parts of the EEZ of the country.
01:46China is also accusing that they are not fulfilling the promise
01:50of removing the US Typhoon Missiles from the zone.
01:54The Philippines never promised the People's Republic of China
01:58that we will withdraw the Typhoon Missile System from the Philippines.
02:04We never made any commitment to the PRC in this regard.
02:07We feel that it is deceptive on the part of the People's Republic of China
02:13to comment on our right to improve our defense capabilities
02:18and position while they continue to improve their offensive capabilities.
02:24Based on the exclusive report of the Reuters News Agency,
02:27their Indian sources said that the Philippines
02:30will buy short-range missiles from a major defense export contract in India.
02:36Based on the report of Reuters,
02:38its value is around 200 million dollars or 11 billion pesos.
02:42The Philippine Navy also commented on this.
02:46The Philippines will buy BrahMos medium-range missiles from India
02:50that can reach any part of the EEZ of the country.
02:54This will include not only platforms but also weapon systems and missile systems.
03:00Right now, without going into further details,
03:03I would like to say that these are part of the acquisition programs
03:07or plans at the Department of National Defense.
03:10For GMA Integrated News,
03:12I am Gaston Katutok, 24 Hours.
