00:00Samantala, magpapatuloy pa rin ang rotation at resupply missions sa mga sundalong nakadeploy sa BRP Sierra Madre.
00:07Ito'y sa kabila ng pagtaas ng presensya at maritime activity ng China sa Ayungin Shoal.
00:12Ayon kay Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad,
00:19moral obligation ng hukmong sandatahan ng Pilipinas ang roar and mission sa BRP Sierra Madre
00:25para matiyak ang kapakanan ng mga sundalong nagbabantay sa ating teritoryo.
00:30Matatandaang noong nakaraang linggo ay dalawang bangga ng China Coast Guard ang tinanggang lumapit sa BRP Sierra Madre.
00:38Ayon kay Trinidad, hindi basta-basta maaalis ang BRP Sierra Madre sa Ayungin Shoal
00:43at hindi rin ito hahayaang mangyari ng mga tropang Pilipino naka-estasyon doon.
00:50While this is not a cause for alarm, it is not also a reason for us to be prepared for them to tow away BRP Sierra Madre.
01:01It will take more than a tugboat to pull out BRP Sierra Madre.
01:07Our assessment is that this is more for their own use in the event that they would need a tugboat to pull out any of the ships
01:14that would run aground in the shallow portion of Ayungin Shoal.
01:17Firmly anchored yung BRP Sierra Madre, there are already rules of engagements and contingency plans in place for any eventuality.
01:25Kasama doon yung mga ganong gagawin ng kabilang side.
