00:00 Meanwhile, the territory in South China Sea is being taken over

00:03 along with the directive of the National Security Council

00:05 for the more frequent maritime patrols of Bajo de Masinloc

00:09 as well as the Yungin Shoal and Kalayaan Group of Islands.

00:12 This is the news of Joseph Moro.

00:14 Day and night, the ships of the Chinese militia and coastguard

00:20 are watching the island,

00:21 one of the most important places in the Kalayaan Island Group

00:24 that is occupied by the Philippines.

00:26 In Himpapawit, the Chinese coastguard vessels are seen

00:30 in three cases in the West Philippine Sea.

00:32 Usually, it is fished by the Filipinos

00:34 but now, it is hard to reach.

00:36 Here in the center of the island,

00:38 you don't need to boat to see the Chinese coastguard.

00:43 There is one and the fishing vessels next to it.

00:46 We count around nine or eight

00:49 and they are the daily reminders

00:53 to the residents and soldiers who are destined to be here on the island

00:57 that even if they are easy and simple in their livelihood,

01:00 there is tension around them.

01:03 This is the West Philippine Sea.

01:05 I can say that this is a sensitive post.

01:11 Along with the Kalayaan Islands, the Yungin Shoal

01:14 where our troops are being watched by the BRP Sierra Madre.

01:18 But if the Philippine Coast Guard will still be there

01:21 in the resupply mission for Yungin,

01:23 the fishermen in Masinloc, Zambales

01:25 are the only ones who are in the area

01:27 where we have a patrol vessel in Scarborough Shoal

01:29 or under Masinloc, right in front of the

01:32 unguarded area guarded by China.

01:34 We are the only Filipinos there,

01:36 the fishermen.

01:38 We have no other allies there.

01:40 The truth is, there is no one

01:42 who escorts our fishermen

01:45 when they are doing the Scarborough Shoal.

01:47 That is why the National Security Advisor

01:49 and National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea

01:52 Head Eduardo Año,

01:53 the AFP Northern Luzon Command

01:55 and Coast Guard and Maritime Patrol

01:57 in the West Philippine Sea together

01:58 are under Masinloc.

02:00 They say that the priority of the maritime patrol

02:02 in Scarborough Shoal

02:03 or under Masinloc and the Philippine Rise

02:06 is in the northern coast of Luzon.

02:08 That is good because

02:10 the fishermen have a strong will

02:13 to get there

02:14 because there is someone who is protecting them.

02:17 Before the meeting of the Mutual Defensive Board

02:19 Security Engagement Board this Thursday

02:21 at Camp Aguinaldo,

02:22 the AFP Chief of Staff General

02:25 Romeo Browner Jr.,

02:26 U.S. Ambassador Mary Kay Carlson

02:28 and Admiral John Aquilino

02:30 of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command

02:31 in Lalo Airport

02:33 and Naval Base Camilo Ocias

02:35 in Cagayan and Basa Air Base in Pampanga

02:37 which are the sites of the EDCA

02:39 or Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

02:41 This is a part of the continued

02:43 assistance of the Philippines and America

02:45 in defense, security in the region

02:47 and in response.

02:48 Defense Secretary Iboche Doro

02:51 in the hearing of the Commission on Appointments

02:52 approved his statement

02:54 that the use of politics and diplomacy

02:57 is what the West Philippine Sea wants.

02:59 But he said,

03:00 "We are lucky if there is no strong spinal cord

03:02 or backbone for diplomacy."

03:04 The soldiers who were destined

03:07 feel the heavy responsibility

03:08 of defending the sovereignty of the country.

03:10 We are providing security

03:12 for national sovereignty

03:16 not only here in Pagasa

03:18 but to the other Philippine-held features.

03:24 In the hope that the soldiers

03:26 will be able to live a normal life,

03:28 in different places on the island

03:29 their services spread.

03:32 The names of the soldiers assigned here

03:34 are engraved

03:35 and reminders

03:36 to defend what is ours.

03:39 It's a great feeling

03:40 that you are serving our country.
