00:00The resupply mission in Escoda Shoal was a success.
00:04Despite China's tight border and repeated radio challenges,
00:1014 fishing boats were given supply of fish.
00:14BN Manalo is live in the center of the news.
00:17Nayomi, more than 17 hours or almost a day was the duration of our deployment from Hasa Hasa Shoal to Kuta Island.
00:30Our journey was not easy due to the strong waves and wind brought by the bad weather.
00:36And Nayomi, until now, we haven't seen any Chinese maritime militia vessels
00:42that are circling around Kuta Island.
00:44And the only thing we can see right now are Chinese fishing boats that are circling around the island.
00:51From 500 to 600 feet above sea level,
00:54more than 30 Chinese maritime militia vessels and ships of the China Coast Guard
01:01are seen circling around the San Dike or Sanbar in the part of Hasa Island.
01:05There is no sign of the Chinese Coast Guard dropping their rigid hull inflatable boats or rigs.
01:11The Philippine Coast Guard's maritime patrol vessel, the so-called Sanbar, was operated by the BRP Datu Bangkawa.
01:16Philippine official government vessel 3004.
01:21This is China Coast Guard vessel 5901.
01:24Your vessel has entered the sea area under the jurisdiction of the US Republic of China.
01:29China Coast Guard, diesel 5901.
01:33This is beautiful fisheries and aquatic resources, MMOV 3004.
01:38A Philippine government vessel conducting local maritime patrol and humanitarian
01:44within the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of the Philippines.
01:48You must stay clear of the road. Over.
01:51BRP Datu Bangkawa received almost 10 times of radio challenge from the China Coast Guard.
01:57From 300 feet above sea level,
02:00the city of Artificial Island, which was built by China to be a military base in Zamora or Subi Reef, can be seen.
02:09The strong presence of China around Escoda Shoal is noticeable.
02:14Their so-called monster ship is there.
02:17The BFAR has received several times of radio challenge from China.
02:21The movement of their research vessel is also noticeable.
02:25But the PCG is short.
02:27But the mere fact that these pools within our exclusive economic zone,
02:30the People's Republic of China has no right to conduct marine scientific research here in Escoda Shoal.
02:37BRP Teresa Magbanwa's vessel, the Philippine Coast Guard's largest vessel,
02:42will stay in Escoda Shoal for three months
02:45to remind the presence and strength of the Philippines in the occupied territory.
02:51Despite China's pressure, the resupply mission in Escoda Shoal was peaceful and successful.
02:58About 6.5 tons of fuel was distributed to 14 fishing boats.
03:05Still ensure that we can be able to monitor our Philippine fishermen
03:10if they go to the West Philippine Sea.
03:12Thank you, sir!
03:14The maritime patrol and vicinity survey in Hasa-Hasa Shoal or Half Moon Shoal was also peaceful.
03:23Nayomi, today, the maritime patrol, vicinity survey and resupply mission
03:29will conduct BFAR for our troops who are destined here in Cuta Island.
03:35And from here in Cuta Island in the West Philippine Sea, back to you, Nayomi.
03:40Thank you very much and take care, John Bien Manalo.
