00:00Pangambang military base ng China sa Panatag Shoal,

00:03ating pag-usapan kasama si Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad,

00:08Philippine Navy Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea.

00:11Rear Admiral Trinidad, magandang tanghali po at welcome po sa Bagong Pilipinas ngayon.

00:17Yes, magandang hapon sa inyong lahat dyan at sa mga takasubaybay ng programa Good Afternoon, everyone.

00:23Sir, ano po ba ang saklaw at pamamaraan po ng surveillance ng Philippine Navy

00:27parang masabing walang namomonitor na construction ng military base sa Panatag Shoal?

00:34Yes, alam mo, Yusek Marja and Yusek Aboy,

00:39yung ating AFP, we use all sources of information, all sensors available to us,

00:47sea-based, land-based, air-based, and even space-based.

00:51We have regular patrols by sea and by air.

00:54Kung kinakailangan na ayos on tayo, pinapaliparan natin o pinupuntahan ng barko.

01:02There are different indicators that would tell us kung may mga nag-uumpisa na bang reclamation activities

01:09on Bajo Dimmasinlo.

01:11So far, what we have monitored ay yung mga buya lamang nila, yung tali na pinangharang sa entrance,

01:20and yung illegal presence ng PLA Navy, Maritime Militia, and the Chinese Coast Guard sa Bajo Dimmasinlo.

01:28Wala tayo nakitang any form of reclamation or construction inside Scarborough Shore.

01:36Admiral, speaking of presence, ayon nung sa ulat, mula February 15 hanggang 22nd,

01:41may apat na People's Liberation Army at Navy at limang Chinese Coast Guard vessels sa Bajo Dimmasinlo.

01:48Maraming yung bang ipaliwanan kung gaano, ano yung mga aktividad na ginagawa nila

01:52at ano yung mga karaniwang mga activities na ginagawa nila sa lugar na ito?

01:59Yes, ano, music na labo yan, no?

02:03The presence itself ng PLA Navy, Chinese Coast Guard, Maritime Militia is already a concern.

02:09Kahit kung wala silang ginagawa doon.

02:12And ang ginagawa nila, hindi lang sa Bajo Dimmasinlo, but even sa West Philippines, sa ating mga features doon,

02:20na andun lang naka-ankla or naka-lying to, we call that lying to, naka-steady lang.

02:24Just to show that it is theirs, they occupy the space, they monitor kung sino mga lalapit doon sa kanila.

02:31Paminsan-minsan, pag may dumadaan ng mga barko natin from B-5 Coast Guard o mga aircraft natin,

02:38even from other countries, they get subjected to coercive and aggressive actions.

02:44So, hindi naman itong mga nagpa-patrolyan lumalayag, most of the time naka-steady lang ito.

02:49So, we call that lying to, pwede sa lakas ng hangin or lakas ng alon,

02:54they would transfer sa kabilang side ng shoal na kung saan mas banayan, mas mahina ang tama ng hangin o

03:02ng alon sa kanila.

03:04Okay. Sir, sa usapin naman po ng Umanoy Missile Deployment,

03:09paano po natin natitiyak na ang mga armas ay posibleng nakamount lamang sa mga barko

03:14at hindi dinalagay mismo sa shoal?

03:18Yes, alam mo, makikita naman natin kung may mga launchers,

03:22una sa lahat ng mga launchers, hindi naman pwede ilagay sa shoal yan na hindi sila mang-reclaim.

03:28So, unlike yung mga ibang features sa West Philippines na reclaim nila,

03:32may Shift Reef, Subi Reef, Johnson Reef,

03:34these are already fully operational military bases.

03:38May mga military aircraft doon, may mga warships doon,

03:42may mga military grade sensors, communication systems, and weapon systems.

03:47Sa Scarborough Shoal, Bajo de Masinlo, wala tayo nakitang ganon.

03:50Yung mga barko doon, part naman ng mga modern warships,

03:54ang merong missile systems.

03:57So, most likely, these are the missile systems na mounted sa mga warships,

04:03installed sa mga warships na nagpapatrolya o napupunta doon sa Bajo de Masinlo.

04:07Walang anumang missile system sa Bajo de Masinlo,

04:11sapakat ang kitna ng shoal,

04:13kung hindi siya tubig, ay shallow water.

04:17So, hindi po pwede maglagay ng missile system.

04:20Unless, otherwise, these are mounted on the ships.

04:24Sir, sa kabuwang bilang po ng People's Liberation Army at Navy

04:28at Chinese Post Guard vessels na monitor sa apat na pangunahing features

04:33ng West Philippine Sea,

04:34Sir, paano po ba ito ikukumpara ng Philippine Navy

04:37sa mga naitalang bilang noong mga nakaraang buwan?

04:43So, before I go to the numbers, Margie,

04:46the concern here is hanggat may illegal presence sila.

04:50That is already an issue for us.

04:53And since 1992, 1995,

04:57yung illegal presence ng PLA Navy,

05:00and then sumunod na join yung Coast Guard,

05:02and then eventually yung Martime Militia,

05:04has already been there.

05:06Hindi na sila umalis within our EEZ.

05:08That in itself is our main focus in the long term.

05:12But in the short term, we monitor their numbers.

05:15Yun ang nire-report natin on a weekly and on a monthly basis.

05:20The report last week was covering 15 to 20 to February 18,

05:25ang namataan natin.

05:27Iba't-ibang bangko ng PLA Navy at na Chinese Coast Guard.

05:30All of the four main features that we monitor.

05:33The week before that, I think it was 14.

05:36The week prior, I think 19.

05:39So, it's a fairly constant number.

05:43Yun lang naglalaro yung numbers nila.

05:46Unless they would like to surge.

05:48What do I mean by surge?

05:50Pag pinapadamin nila,

05:51kung halimbawa meron tayong activity,

05:54nahaharangin nila.

05:55Pinapadamin nila.

05:57Kumukuha sa naibang barko,

05:59either from mainland,

06:00mainland or from Hainan

06:01or from Paracels

06:03or even as far as

06:05Mischief Reef or Subi Reef.

06:07But, you know,

06:08numbers on a weekly basis,

06:10these are just to give us a picture

06:12kung ano ang trending nila.

06:14But the bigger issue here is

06:15yung illegal presence in our EEZ

06:17since the early or mid-90s.

06:20Admiral, I want to expound on that particular point.

06:23Kasi iba,

06:23nagpapakotswento na

06:24bagabat siyasabi ng iba

06:25na mas mababa yung bilang ngayon

06:27kumpara noon,

06:28nananatili pa rin yung

06:29tiyatawag ng illegal presence

06:30ng mga Chinese ships na ito

06:31sa loob ng ating

06:32exclusive economic zone.

06:34Ano ho ba yung mga

06:35konkretong implikasyon nito

06:37sa ating soberenya

06:38at maritime security?

06:41Malaki implication nito.

06:42And we have to understand

06:44the bigger picture

06:45over a longer period of time.

06:48Bigger picture, long term.

06:50Yung bigger picture and long term

06:52is yung illegal presence nila.

06:54Doon tayo concerned.

06:55Let's not forget

06:55na yun talaga

06:56ang pinaka-issue natin.

06:58Before we go to any

06:59discussions with them,

07:00before we do anything,

07:02let's not forget

07:03na nandyan sila

07:04sa loob ng ating EEZ.

07:06Doon tayo dapat

07:06mag-uubisa

07:07kung may mga usapin man tayo.

07:09Anong implication nito?

07:11Little by little,

07:12we call it salami slicing.

07:14Hinahati-hati nila,

07:15tinatagpit-tagpit tayo

07:16dahan-dahan.

07:17And they think

07:18in the long term,

07:2010, 15, 20 years paan,

07:23mahabang sila

07:24mag-ano mag-plano.

07:25Tayo,

07:26our political timeline,

07:28if I may look at it this way,

07:29being a democratic country,

07:306 years tayo.

07:31Sa ibang bansa,

07:324 years.

07:33Yung iba siguro, 5 years.

07:34Sa kanila,

07:35lifetime.

07:37Hanggat hindi na mata

07:38yung leader nila,

07:39siya ang nagpapatakbo.

07:40So,

07:41ang continuity

07:42of their,

07:43of his program,

07:44or the party program,

07:46the Chinese Communist Party program,

07:48hanggat buhay,

07:49yung kanyang leader

07:50ay nagpapatulo yan.

07:52So,

07:52we have to understand

07:53the bigger picture here.

07:55It is yung nanghimasok

07:56at hindi pa umaalis

07:57ang PLA Navy,

07:59Chinese Coast Guard,

08:00at

08:01Mara or EEZ.

08:02Sir,

08:04nabanggit mo kanina

08:05na naka-ankla lang itong mga vessels na ito,

08:07pero,

08:07from your monitoring po,

08:09mayroon po ba nakikita

08:10ang pagbabago

08:11sa galaw

08:11o deployment pattern

08:12ng People's Liberation Army,

08:14Chinese Coast Guard,

08:15at maritime militia

08:16sa Baco,

08:16Dimasinlok,

08:17at iba pang bahagi

08:18ng West Philippine Sea?

08:21I would like to compare

08:22over a longer period of time,

08:252024 and 2025,

08:27kasi mas makikita natin

08:29doon yung trends

08:29o yung patterns.

08:31In 2024,

08:33a movement

08:33hindi masyadong integrated

08:35sa Coast Guard

08:37or sa maritime militia.

08:38What do I mean by that?

08:40Pag naggumagawa ng

08:42coercive and aggressive action

08:43ng Coast Guard

08:44or yung militia,

08:45nasa malayo lang,

08:46sa horizon,

08:47yung PLA Navy.

08:49In 2025,

08:50nakita natin,

08:52mas malapit na sila

08:53sa Coast Guard

08:55at sa maritime militia.

08:57The overall

08:58annual

08:59difference

09:00union,

09:03bakit sila

09:04mas malapit ngayon?

09:05Sabagkat ang trust

09:07ng Chinese Communist Party

09:09is integrating

09:09the different forces

09:10interagency operation.

09:13Mahina sila dito.

09:14Unlike Western democracies,

09:16mas nag-uusap-usap

09:17yung ating mga

09:18iba't-ibang ahensya

09:20ng gobyerno.

09:21Sa kanila,

09:22masyado naka-stove pipe

09:23kung tawagin natin

09:24or kanya-kanyang silo yan.

09:26An example of this

09:27of not-so-good

09:29coordination

09:30was yung

09:30August 11

09:31last year

09:32na nagbanggaan

09:34yung kanilang

09:34backcourt

09:35ng Coast Guard

09:36at ng Navy nila,

09:37PLA Navy.

09:39Actually,

09:40sa sidelines,

09:41sinatawanan natin sila

09:43because our

09:44commanding officers

09:45know

09:45kailan delikado na

09:47na magkakabanggaan

09:48kayo.

09:48And we have the

09:49freedom of action.

09:51Tayo mismo

09:52ang nadidecide

09:53at gabi

09:53ang talong tayo

09:54para maiwas

09:55at maging safe

09:56yung barko.

09:57Sa kanilang

09:57walang ganun.

09:58So that is the

09:59direction

10:00in 2025-2024

10:02integrating the

10:03different government

10:04agencies,

10:05the different

10:05party agencies

10:06for joint

10:07and combined

10:08operations.

10:08Yun ang malaking

10:09diferensya.

10:10So we will see

10:11sa 2026

10:12kung ano naman

10:12ang maging

10:12trend nila.

10:15Sir,

10:16sa iba naman po

10:17na balita,

10:19kamusta po ba

10:19yung pakikipag-ugnayan

10:20ng Philippine Navy

10:21sa iba pang mga

10:22ahensya tulad po

10:23ng Armed Forces

10:24of the Philippines

10:24at Philippine Coast Guard

10:26sa patuloy po

10:27na monitoring

10:28ng baho

10:28de machine lock

10:29at iba pang mga

10:30shawls

10:30gaya po

10:31ng Ayungin,

10:32Skoda

10:32at Pag-asa Island po?

10:36Alam nyo

10:38Yusek Marcia,

10:39we have to

10:40give credit

10:41where credit

10:41is due.

10:42Nung binanggit

10:43ng ating

10:44Commander-in-Chief

10:45that the AFP

10:46is now shifting

10:47from internal

10:48security

10:48to external

10:49defense,

10:49this was

10:50in 2023

10:51during his

10:52visit sa

10:53Visayas Command.

10:54Hindi alam

10:55ng AFP

10:55what to do.

10:56Anong ibig

10:57sabihin nito?

10:58The Secretary

10:59of Defense

11:00mentioned

11:00in 2024,

11:01January,

11:02when he

11:02visited

11:04we will

11:05implement

11:06a comprehensive

11:07archipelagic

11:08defense

11:08concept.

11:09So the

11:10AFP

11:10had to

11:12are doing

11:12things.

11:13Ang isang

11:22with other

11:22government

11:23agencies.

11:25Bakit?

11:25Hindi lamang

11:26itong AFP

11:27ang mag-i-implement

11:28ng security

11:29and protection

11:30ng ating
