00:00 Updates, attention, in the West Philippine Sea,
00:02 the Chinese and the Filipinos boats were hit by a strong wave
00:06 that washed them away.
00:07 The crew of the boats were even cut off.
00:10 Chino Gaston was hit.
00:12 Emil, the media has talked to the crews of two resupply ships
00:21 that were hit by the water cannon.
00:25 At the Ayungin Shoal on August 5,
00:27 the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Fishing Militia were hit.
00:31 The crew of the boats, said by members of the Philippine Navy,
00:35 was hit twice by the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Fishing Militia ships.
00:40 The captains of the boats were only able to avoid the hit
00:43 before they were hit by the steel waves of the Chinese boats.
00:46 But they were not saved by the water cannon
00:49 that directly hit the wooden resupply ships.
00:53 The rice, vegetables, meat and other supplies were wet.
00:57 The crew of the boats admitted that although they were surprised by the Chinese approach,
01:02 they were not able to fulfill their mission.
01:04 Only the Oniza May 1 was hit
01:07 while the second resupply ship, the Oniza May 2,
01:11 was forced to return to Puerto Princesa.
01:14 On the other side of the dam, the AFP assured that the resupply boats will return to Ayungin
01:19 to deliver supplies to the soldiers of the BRP Sierra Madre
01:23 that they will not neglect.
01:26 And for now, the supply of food and water is limited.
01:31 Emil, here are their statements.
01:33 This is our civilian chartered boat.
01:38 We are with them, sir.
01:40 We have a rowing mission team.
01:42 We will bring the supplies there.
01:45 It is still flying our Philippine flag
01:48 and it is our duty and it is our obligation
01:51 to bring supplies to our troops who are on board.
01:57 So we cannot be stopped
02:01 or told what to do there.
02:09 So we will continue our resupply missions.
02:17 Meanwhile, Emil, in another social media post,
02:20 the Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea,
02:24 Commodore J. Tariel, said that the Filipinos are defending
02:29 or doing a defense for China following the incident in Ayungin Shoal.
02:34 It is important, especially now, to show the country's strength.
02:38 He is demonstrating freedom of speech,
02:41 but it should not be abused or misused.
02:45 Emil.
02:47 Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
