00:00 China's Coast Guard on Tuesday said they had expelled two Philippine vessels in the
00:06 territory in the South China Sea that they claim belonging to China.
00:13 Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Terriella said two of their vessels stood their ground
00:18 at the Scarborough Shoal but one sustained damage from use of water cannon by two Chinese
00:23 Coast Guard ships.
00:25 He said the BRP Bagakai vessel suffered damage to its railing and canopy.
00:30 He said China had installed a floating barrier at the shoal's entrance, restricting access
00:34 to the area.
00:36 He said the damage on the ship served as evidence of the forceful water pressure used by China's
00:41 Coast Guard in their harassment of Philippine vessels.
00:44 Beijing and Manila have clashed in recent months in the area, which the Philippines
00:48 said is in its "exclusive economic zone," but China also claims as its own.
