00:00Let's ask for an update on the statement of the China Coast Guard that part of the ships of China and the Philippines docked in Ayungin Shoal.
00:07We will talk to PCG Spokesperson Rear Admiral Arman Balilo. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:14Good morning, Rafi. Good morning to all of your listeners.
00:18Please confirm the statement of the China Coast Guard that there was a collision in Ayungin Shoal. What are your details on this?
00:24We're still trying to contact our units on the ground. We still don't have information on what China is saying.
00:33We'll update you once we have the information.
00:36Sometimes, we're the first ones to release a statement like this.
00:40But until now, you're still confirming. You still don't have the information?
00:46We're still checking, Rafi. There's still no information coming into my office.
00:52If there's an update, we'll update you.
00:54Regarding the no trespassing policy of the China Coast Guard, were there any incidents reported in the last two days since it was implemented?
01:01There are information that a Philippine vessel was detained.
01:06Here in Bajo de Macindoc, we didn't report any incidents.
01:11Yesterday, we sent a report to our units in the area.
01:18So far, no Philippine fishing boats were detained.
01:27In fact, we were able to provide assistance and we were able to check in the vicinity of Bajo de Macindoc.
01:34Our patrol and our fishermen in Bajo de Macindoc are still on patrol.
01:40The Philippine Coast Guard is there.
01:42If there's an incident and our fishermen are caught, what should they do?
01:50The first thing we're saying is that we should avoid such situations.
01:55We know that we have the right to fish in our exclusive economic zone.
02:02But it's better for us to be smart and to avoid such situations.
02:12Do we already have a scenario of what can happen if this happens?
02:16And is the PCG preparing for this?
02:19We have scenarios already, but please let us know what we should do.
02:23That is an operational matter that we leave it to the Crown Commander.
02:29Lastly, we would like to remind our fishermen who are going to places that are claimed by China
02:37and they may be accused of trespassing.
02:39What would you like to say to them?
02:41In our exclusive economic zone, we have the right to fish.
02:45Let us continue fishing and expect the Philippine Coast Guard to be there.
02:50Philippine Coast Guard has sent boats under the order of the Coast Guard Commandant, Admiral Gabang.
02:57Okay, we will continue with the latest from the PCG. Thank you very much.
03:02Thank you, Raffy.
03:03Sir Admiral Arman Balilon of the PCG.
03:26Thank you.
