00:00Sinubukang itaboy ng Philippine Coast Guard ang isang sasakyang pandagat ng China
00:04sa bahagi ng Exclusive Economic Zone ng Pilipinas malapit sa Batanes.
00:08Gate ng PCG, illegal ang pagsasagawa o manon ng Chinese vessel ng marine research doon.
00:14Saksi, si Chino Gaston.
00:20Lula ng Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat, nilapitan at sinubukang itaboy ng makataga Philippine Coast Guard
00:26ang Chinese research vessel na Jahai K7.
00:28Ilang araw na raw kasing hindi ito halos gumagalaw sa layong 37 nautical miles mula Itbayat, Matanes
00:35sa loob ng Exclusive Economic Zone ng Pilipinas.
00:38Sensitibo ang lugar dahil doon dumaraan ang undersea communication cables
00:43na bahagi ng communication infrastructure ng Pilipinas.
00:47Ilang beses nagtangkang umiwas ang research vessel sa pananaboy ng PCG
00:52at habang nire-radio challenge ang research vessel,
00:55and movements are not consistent with the freedom of navigation.
01:00Rather, they are indicative of the conduct of marine scientific research
01:04in violation of the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
01:08Dumating sa lugar ang China Coast Guard Vessel 2503.
01:12This is not a public vessel.
01:15Based from the open source, this is a private Chinese research vessel.
01:20Meaning, if this is not a public vessel, then it doesn't enjoy sovereign immunity.
01:27Since we are the Coast Guard and we are the law enforcer here from the coastal state,
01:32we have the authority to board this research vessel who's conducting illegal MSR.
01:39Nagpadala na rin ang PCG ng Islander 251 aircraft
01:42para suportahan ang misyon ng BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:46Gayet ng PCG, iligal ang pananatili at pagsasagawa ng marine research
01:50ng Jahai K-7 na walang pahintulot ng Pilipinas.
01:55Tila ayaw rin daw nitong umalis sa dagat ng sakop ng itbayat
01:59kaya patuloy na binabantayan ng PCG.
02:15Dati nang sinabi ng Chinese Embassy na may jurisdiction daw ang China
02:19sa karagatan ng Batanes at may karapatan daw manatili roon
02:23ang kanilang mga research vessel.
02:25Pero sa ilalim ng United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea,
02:29ang coastal state lang ang may maritime at sovereign rights
02:33kagaya ng pangingisda, paglagay ng artificial islands
02:36at pagsasagawa ng marine research sa loob ng 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone.
02:43Sino gasto ng inyong saksi?
