00:00 Following the Chinese decision to remove the BRP Sierra Madre from the sea,

00:04 former Defense Secretary Orly Mercado told us the events that happened before the ship was launched.

00:10 The Defense Secretary of America promised something.

00:13 This is what Chino Gaston's live report on the matter.

00:16 Chino.

00:17 Emil, America once again expressed its support

00:24 amid the frequent clashes between the Philippine Coast Guard and AFP.

00:30 A few days after the Philippine banks blocked and bombed the water of the China Coast Guard,

00:40 which will bring the necessary supplies to the soldiers of the BRP Sierra Madre in Iungin Shoal,

00:46 Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke on the phone.

00:54 Secretary Austin condemned the use of water cannons

00:56 and the dangerous operation of the China Coast Guard

01:00 that put the supply boats of the soldiers in danger.

01:04 He also expressed support for America in the bygate that under the Mutual Defense Treaty,

01:10 the U.S. will help if there is an armed attack on any public vessel, aircraft, and armed forces of the Philippines

01:16 along with the Coast Guard.

01:18 The Commander-in-Control ship of America, the USS Blue Ridge, happened to be at Puerto Princesa, Palawan

01:24 for a courtesy call.

01:26 That's why the U.S. 7th Fleet Commander and the AFP Western Command, or WESCOM Commander,

01:31 agreed to cooperate with the Philippines and America.

01:35 The WESCOM gate, where the supplies of the BRP Sierra Madre are being brought,

01:40 is prohibited to continue their resupply mission.

01:43 But will the BRP Sierra Madre last long?

01:46 It was seen that the food supply of the Philippines is in a bad condition and is dangerous for the soldiers guarding it.

01:51 The former Defense Secretary Orly Mercado was saddened by the situation

01:55 that he was forced to join the BRP Sierra Madre.

01:59 It was a recommendation of the Philippine Navy

02:01 that was immediately approved by former President Joseph Estrada to protect the Yongen Shoal.

02:07 That was because China suddenly occupied the nearby Mischief Reef,

02:11 which is also inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

02:14 We will intentionally shut it down.

02:19 But at the same time, it will be an outpost.

02:23 That outpost will be maintained. We will resupply the people, etc.

02:31 We will provide food and services.

02:34 That is why the Senate supported any budget request requested by the AFP for the BRP Sierra Madre,

02:41 not only by the Senate President, but also by some in the opposition.

02:45 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston was on the air 24 hours.
