00:00 In the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, China's more aggressive moves have hit the
00:09 ships that are part of the Philippines' resupply mission.
00:13 In accordance with international and Philippine national law, we are resupplying according
00:18 to our plan.
00:19 Requests to stay clear from our passage in accordance with the collision regulation.
00:25 Over.
00:26 The resupply vessel, the Yoneza May 2, hit China Coast Guard 5203, which is heading towards
00:37 Ayungin Shoal.
00:38 It was damaged in the back.
00:39 Despite that, it still managed to continue its supply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre.
00:46 But it was also hit by Chinese ships.
00:49 The escort of the supply vessel, the BRP Cabra, was shot, chased and hit by the China Coast
00:58 Guard.
00:59 The Chinese militia vessel that is maneuvering backwards to the BRP Cabra, which is not moving
01:05 according to the command of the Chinese military, was also cut.
01:09 The BRP Cabra is now in a state of emergency.
01:13 According to the commanding officer, the BRP Cabra is now in a state of emergency.
01:20 No one was hurt.
01:21 In the meantime, the AFP plane was hit.
01:24 While in the distance, the BRP ship, which was hit by the China Coast Guard, was also hit
01:31 to be separated from the escort of the Yoneza May 1.
01:35 It was still dark.
01:37 We noticed that we are surrounded by sea vehicles, but when the sun rose, it became
01:44 clear that these were from China.
01:50 Like this Chinese Coast Guard that has been attached to our vehicle several times, the
01:57 BRP Cabra.
01:58 And what it is trying to do is to separate this supply vessel and our Coast Guard.
02:10 But even inside the EEZ of the Philippines, China said, "We will only permit the entry
02:16 of one Philippine ship carrying food and other necessary materials and rotating personnel."
02:24 The Chinese militia vessel also moved to block the BRP ship.
02:29 The Chinese militia and its companion China Coast Guard were just about to attack.
02:34 In total, five Chinese Coast Guard and seven Chinese militia vessels were hit,
02:40 except for eight militia vessels waiting in a farther location towards the direction
02:46 of Ayuninsho.
02:47 The Yoneza May 1 was also hit and the mission was completed after a few hours.
02:54 We also witnessed the closest approach of China to block the BRP ship.
03:01 Fall back slow. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back one. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back.
03:08 Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back.
03:14 China's fault is that a shipwreck happened.
03:23 These collisions were caused by the dangerous and illegal maneuvers at sea by these Chinese
03:30 vessels who were interfering with a legal and legitimate Philippine operation in support
03:37 of BRP Siaramadre.
03:39 But China said, "The Philippines are just pretending."
03:43 The Yoneza May 2 was the one that was hit by the China Coast Guard.
03:48 They even released their own video showing a different angle of the collision of the
03:53 passengers on the Yoneza May 2.
03:55 Common sense only. Yoneza May is a wooden indigenous boat.
03:59 Why would you even block the passage of a bigger steel-hulled China Coast Guard vessel?
04:08 China also said that the PCG vessel was the one that fell back so it hit the right side
04:13 of the Chinese fishing vessel.
04:15 The statements made by China are not supported by evidence.
04:18 It's like it was just taken by the wind.
04:20 The new incident of China's harassment was not missed by President Bongbong Marcos.
04:26 The President ordered the PCG to conduct a maritime investigation.
04:31 We will focus on determining the extent of damage.
04:35 It is very, very clear that the two incidents are violations of collision regulations.
04:43 China has no legal right or authority to conduct law enforcement operations
04:51 in our territorial waters and in our exclusive economic zone.
04:57 This is a serious escalation of the illegal activities conducted by the Chinese government
05:05 in the West Philippine Sea.
05:07 The Defense Department also ordered the Chinese Coast Guard to monitor the incident.
05:11 The Chinese government is deliberately obfuscating the truth.
05:16 What kind of good faith can we expect from them?
05:20 There is no new statement from China.
05:22 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Philippines should stop its dangerous maneuvers
05:28 and the escalation of tensions.
05:30 The duplicity of China in claiming to be peaceful and claiming to be friendly
05:36 while resorting to these aggressive acts.
05:40 There is no new statement from China in the statements of the Defense Secretary.
05:44 But the complaint of the Deputy Chief of Mission of China in its face to our DFA,
05:49 the Philippines is the one who entered their waters.
05:53 The Philippines also fulfilled its promise and stopped its threats
05:58 and dangerous moves in attacking the image of China.
06:02 This is also the first illegal violation of the warship
06:06 that will not affect the interests of the countries in the region.
06:10 But the government of the Philippines is again stubborn.
06:13 It did not promise to remove the BRP Sierra Madre.
06:16 It is now eating diplomatic protests against China, the Philippines, its ally.
06:21 This is the first news.
