00:00 More than 40 times, the ships of the China Coast Guard were attacked by the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:06 Based on the monitoring of the PCG,
00:08 during the day of patrolling in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:12 Although there was an incident of harassment in Bajo de Masinloc,
00:16 the latest resupply mission in Ayungen Shoal is still peaceful.
00:20 Now, here's the news from June Veneration.
00:25 Almost the same time, the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Teresa Magbanwa attacked a ship of the China Coast Guard.
00:32 In another video, it seems that the two ships are not moving
00:35 and are waiting for someone to move away first.
00:39 That's just one of the few PCG monitors
00:42 in the same day of maritime patrol in Bajo de Masinloc
00:45 since February 1,
00:47 when the Filipinos' fishing nets were far away.
00:51 But in more than a week of surveillance,
00:53 more than 40 times, the ships of the four China Coast Guard vessels
00:58 3105, 3302, 3063, and 3064 were attacked.
01:06 The ships of China also attacked four times
01:10 of alleged manipulation and obstruction of the PCG's ship.
01:14 The nearest distance is more than 170 meters.
01:19 The CCG vessels also crossed in front of BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:24 According to the PCG,
01:25 it is against the Convention on the International Regulations
01:29 for Preventing Collisions at Sea.
01:31 The PCG vessels also radioed to the ships of China
01:34 to tell them that according to international law,
01:37 our ship is going there.
01:39 China has not yet made any statement about it.
01:42 But on February 5,
01:44 China said that they smuggled a PCG ship
01:47 from Bajo de Masinloc.
01:49 But the National Security Council said
01:51 that what China said is not true.
01:54 Unlike what the PCG vessels experienced in Bajo de Masinloc,
01:58 the last RORE mission of the Philippines was well-organized
02:01 in the Union Shoal.
02:03 Although the ships of China Coast Guard and Maritime Militia
02:07 also had presence, there was no dangerous maneuver.
02:10 And instead, it seems like they were escorted.
02:13 Actually, a Coast Guard and a Maritime Militia
02:17 proved that when our resupply vessel was approaching,
02:20 they lowered two rigid hull inflatable boats.
02:23 Okay.
02:24 Then they lowered it to our...
02:25 They brought it inside.
02:27 The Philippine Navy said that this maneuver
02:30 was synchronized with their press statement afterwards.
02:33 They will say that we were allowed to be escorted.
02:37 But the Philippines should not relax
02:40 even though the actions of the ships of China have changed.
02:44 They changed during our last RORE mission.
02:46 But we cannot ignore their character,
02:48 their long-term plan to conquer the entire South China Sea,
02:52 where the West Philippine Sea is only a part.
02:54 China has not yet made a statement about this.
02:57 This is the first news.
