00:00 It is not true, according to the Philippine Coast Guard,

00:03 that China allowed the chartered boats of the AFP to sail towards Ayungin Shoal,

00:10 which delivers food and supplies.

00:12 The Department of Foreign Affairs also insisted that the rotation and resupply mission

00:17 is the right of the Philippines.

00:22 The Philippine Coast Guard boomed well in China's statement

00:28 that they allowed the chartered boats of the Armed Forces of the Philippines

00:33 to sail towards Ayungin Shoal, which delivers food and supplies.

00:37 According to PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J. Tariella,

00:42 these China's agreements are not true.

00:44 It was not easy for the Philippine ships to reach Ayungin Shoal

00:49 because our ships were blocked and harassed by the Chinese ships several times.

00:55 This action is not considered human.

00:58 The resupply operation that we had yesterday is not a walk in the park.

01:02 We still experienced dangerous maneuvers.

01:06 They still attempted to block our resupply operation.

01:09 The Department of Foreign Affairs also insisted that the rotation and resupply mission

01:14 is the right of the Philippines.

01:16 This was after Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Wang Xiliang said

01:20 that the problem of resupply mission was rooted in the delivery of construction materials.

01:25 According to DFA spokesperson Ambassador Maria Teresita Daza,

01:30 the exercise of the Philippines in our rights and jurisdictions in maritime zones

01:36 does not need approval from any country, even the Philippine Coast Guard.

01:41 It was decided that the Philippines should never say goodbye to China

01:45 not even to the supplies that will be delivered to the BRP Sierra Madre

01:48 that is docked in Ayungin Shoal.

01:50 It is clear from the UNCLOS that Ayungin Shoal is in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

01:57 We don't need permission from the People's Republic of China.

02:00 Ayungin Shoal is included in our exclusive economic zone.

02:05 We have the sovereign rights over these waters.
