00:00China claims 3,000 hectares inside and outside the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone, the Philippine A.D.
00:09This includes Subi, or Zamora Reef, where the artificial island of China is located in an ancient city in the middle of the sea.
00:17Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:23In the past, it was just garbage. But now, buildings are growing and there are runways.
00:29Subi, or Zamora Reef, is just one of the four major bases of China in the South China Sea.
00:37They claimed 3,000 hectares of the sea. That's bigger than the city of Manila.
00:43The Philippine Navy cannot say how widely China has claimed within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:50Is there a Philippine invasion? Yes. And this has begun since 1992.
00:54Their presence there is illegal. It has already been ruled by the arbitral tribunal.
00:59The Philippine Navy is also monitoring the Chinese survey ship that somehow left the Miss Chief, or Panganiban Reef, on July 27.
01:06It has sailed through areas within Sabina Shoal and the southern part of Sabina Shoal.
01:11We have informed the appropriate government agency about this.
01:14The presence in the area has also increased to find out if the people are the ones who are collecting the garbage there.
01:20Unusual pile-up of trash corals. The Philippine government deployed a ship to monitor the activity there.
01:29Its presence is longer than the usual presence that we do.
01:35As of now, the Chinese research vessel has not yet done an illegal monitoring.
01:40Although, the zigzag pattern of the course is suspicious.
01:43If you see an innocent passage or freedom of navigation, continuous and expeditious.
01:49If you are zigzagging, you are doing something else.
01:52Earlier this morning, the distance of the Sun House is 20 nautical miles from the Shoal,
01:57where the monster ship of the China Coast Guard is located.
02:00What do we do? Challenge and challenge and challenge? Yes.
02:03Just that? Yes. And if it warrants the filing of a diplomatic protest by the appropriate agency, in this case DFA,
02:10there is a procedure to give them all the data that they need.
02:13We are not being chased until we are challenged? Yes.
02:18Why? Why? We don't want to escalate the situation.
