00:00 Even if the resupply mission in BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin, Shul will succeed, tension between the Philippine Coast Guard and the China Coast Guard will not be known.
00:10 The radio challenge between the two groups has also been suspended.
00:14 We have the first news from Joseph Morong.
00:20 The first of the mission to bring the new supply of food and gas in Ayungin, Shul, was returned to Puerto Princesa, Palawan on May 1 and 2.
00:31 Soldiers were also brought to the destination by boat.
00:35 This is one of the resupply boats that was successful in bringing the provisions to BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin, Shul.
00:43 We're happy that they are safely back. That's what's important.
00:47 Officials of the AFP Western Command, Pizza and Ice Cream, personally greeted the soldiers who had high morale.
00:54 But they did not have a joke.
00:56 Ayungin, Shul is 315 kilometers from Palawan.
01:00 While the resupply mission in Brp. Sabina, Shul is 248 kilometers from Palawan, it seems that they still have a chance to win against the China Coast Guard.
01:09 Aside from the fact that the big Chinese ship was sinking in the supply ship, it also crossed several times and the Chinese ship stopped on the Philippine Coast Guard's boat.
01:19 China also did the radio challenge three times in Brp. Sindangan and Brp. Cabra.
01:24 This is the radio broadcast in Brp. Cabra that was on the video of Ajan's France Press.
01:29 China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nanshan Islands, including the Rhine Reef and its adjacent waters since ancient times.
01:38 The answer was given by Brp. Sindangan in the video of PTV.
01:42 China Coast Guard Vessel 3302, this is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel Brp. Sindangan MRRV 4407, conducting lawful routine maritime patrol within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:58 In accordance with international and Philippine national laws, we are proceeding according to our planned route.
02:04 China is calming down the delivery of construction materials to Brp. Sierra Madre.
02:10 There has never been a problem with the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
02:19 The problem was with the transportation of large scale of building materials.
02:28 China gave the radio challenge that was hosted by PCG.
02:33 In the spirit of humanism, we only permit your ship carrying food and other necessary living materials and rotating personnel without construction materials to the illegally granted vessel.
02:46 You are within Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone. Your action will affect Philippine-China relations and will be reported to concerned authorities. Over.
02:56 We don't need permission because the law has already provided us the authority to exercise jurisdiction over that area.
03:06 Aside from the ships carrying supplies, there is no other desired route for China.
03:12 Government vessels are not allowed to enter. To avoid miscalculations, leave and keep far off. Otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for all the consequences.
03:23 To avoid miscalculations, PCG gave a radio challenge.
03:26 You are requested to stay clear from our passage in accordance with the collision regulations. Over.
03:32 In the failed resupply mission on August 5, they were washed by the water of China Coast Guard.
03:38 No water cannon was fired. But in the video shown by AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr., the water cannons were fired at one of their ships.
03:48 They were flexing their muscles. They were showing that we are here and we are ready to use these water cannons.
03:57 Browner said that the Philippine Navy's ship can be used for this mission but...
04:02 For now, we are not doing it yet so that the tension in the South China Sea will not increase.
04:10 The smaller PCG of the ship was caught in the failed resupply mission.
04:16 They are losing the propaganda of the discourse. The David and Goliath optics.
04:24 Every time we capture that photo, they are being widely condemned in different parts of the globe.
04:30 In the middle of the resupply mission, a plane with a Navy on board is circling. According to John Franz Press, this is a P-8 Poseidon plane of the U.S. Navy.
04:40 The U.S. Embassy is not a common mouth here but they say that whatever the military activities of America, there is coordination in the Philippines.
04:48 Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romualdez said that America is monitoring the resupply mission via satellite.
04:56 For the DFA, the Chinese will avoid the restrictions on the Philippines' resupply mission if the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, which has been discussed for more than two decades, is violated.
05:08 But while the Westcom is still trying to break through that, they are working to maintain the BRP Sierra Madre.
05:14 We're staying there. We're deploying people there.
05:16 That's why the rotation and reprovision missions continue as they were done in Ayungin.
05:21 Long live the Philippines. Until next time.
05:23 This is the first news. Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
