00:00The fishermen in the Sandy Cay area near Pagasa Island in the West Philippine Sea are unable to get close.
00:07More than 30 Chinese militia vessels are guarding the area,
00:11along with a boat of the China Coast Guard.
00:13Raffi Tima is a witness.
00:20The Chinese Coast Guard is closely monitoring the boat of the BFAR,
00:23the BRP Datu Pagwaya,
00:25along with the BFAR-PCG, in the Sabina or Escoda Shoal area,
00:29where the BRP Teresa Magbanoa and the China Coast Guard's monster ship is located.
00:33According to the PCG,
00:34there is no reason for China to complain about the Philippine ships in Escoda Shoal,
00:38which is part of our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:41The China Coast Guard said that the BRP Teresa Magbanoa is illegally stranded in Escoda Shoal
00:45and that it is a violation of China's sovereignty.
00:48This is the monster ship of the China Coast Guard.
00:51This is the monster ship of China.
00:53It is being guarded here.
00:54Not only by our ships,
00:56but also by the fishermen who get their livelihood here in the Sabina Shoal.
01:00The rubber boats of China are also being guarded
01:02while the BRP Teresa Magbanoa and the China Coast Guard's BFAR-PCG is being given to the fishermen in Escoda.
01:06The China Coast Guard's radio challenge is repeated.
01:09Paying our law enforcement patrol in the sea area
01:13under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China.
01:17Please inform us the purpose of your visit to this sea area.
01:21Over.
01:22Some fishermen were not able to sail for three months due to China's restrictions.
01:26That's why they hope that the PCG won't leave Escoda Shoal.
01:29We heard that the fishermen in the West Philippine Sea will be arrested.
01:34That's why we were afraid.
01:35Even if it's difficult,
01:36we really tried not to be arrested.
01:38But we were not able to sail.
01:39But in Pagasa Island,
01:41some fishermen were not able to reach San Dike.
01:43There are 30 Chinese militia vessels
01:45and a CCG vessel are stationed here.
01:48They are not leaving.
01:49The fishermen are being chased.
02:01This is the San Dike area near Pagasa.
02:04This is where many Chinese militia are being guarded
02:07because there are many fishermen here.
02:09Before, the Filipinos used to fish here.
02:12But now, they are prohibited
02:14and they are being guarded.
02:15These are the Chinese militia.
02:17The Vietnamese Coast Guard Vessel CSB 8002 is in the Manila Port area
02:21for its port visit.
02:22It is a part of the two-nation agreement
02:24for the cooperation in maritime security.
02:27This will promote and enhance the efficiency of information sharing
02:31and the coordination in maritime law enforcement
02:34in accordance with international law.
02:36Although Vietnam has admitted that most of the fish and fishmongers
02:39in Calayaan Island Group, according to the PCG,
02:42should not be affected by the fight for the territory
02:44in the mission of the Coast Guard
02:45that is being safeguarded by the fishermen.
02:47We will let them fish.
02:49But it will not prevent us also from activities like this
02:54where we think it can help to build the relationship.
02:59The visit of Vietnam to Sigalot in the West Philippine Sea
03:02has nothing to do with it.
