00:00The Philippine Coast Guard managed to save three people from the wrecked boat in Bajo de Macinloc for three hours.
00:06The rescue mission was blocked by the Chinese Coast Guard.
00:11Here's the latest from Jonathan Andal.
00:17The Philippine Fishing Boat, or FFB Akiyo, was almost sunk
00:21when the Philippine Coast Guard pulled it back from the wrecked boat.
00:25Its engine exploded near Bajo de Macinloc or Panatagsyol.
00:29Eight Filipino fishermen were on board.
00:32Two of them had second-degree burns, so their skin was torn.
00:35They were immediately transferred to the PCG's BRP Sindangan
00:38and were given first aid by the Coast Guard nurses.
00:41According to the owner of the boat, the engine exploded due to faulty wiring.
00:59The rescue mission of the PCG tried to block the Chinese Coast Guard
01:12even though they said they would respond to the emergency.
01:29According to Banilio, the Chinese were even waiting to arrest all the fishermen
01:37if they couldn't help them.
01:40When the Chinese Coast Guard explained, they let the PCG near the wrecked boat.
01:59I think they didn't rescue the Chinese Coast Guard.
02:02The PCG confirmed the incident that the Philippine Fishing Boat was in West Philippine Sea
02:07and was ready to sink our fishermen.
02:09But a group of fishermen in Zambales said
02:12they didn't see the Philippine Navy boat in Bajo de Macinloc
02:16even though they asked to join the fishermen.
02:19That's why until now, they're just sailing around Zambales.
02:23We don't know where they are.
02:27Maybe they will throw us in the sea.
02:31We have no enemies.
02:32We are just small boats.
02:34On June 15, China implemented the regulation to arrest anyone who illegally enters their waters and maritime borders.
02:42According to the Integrated Board of the Philippines,
02:44the government is mandated to provide protection to the fishermen inside our EEZ.
02:49This is the first news.
