00:00The possibility of a diplomatic protest or complaint in the United Nations is being studied.

00:06Following the flood in Escoda Shoal, where the PCG ships collided with each other,

00:11some Chinese sea vehicles surrounding BRP Teresa Magbanwa,

00:16which were anchored in Escoda Shoal, were also seen.

00:18Witness, Chino Gaston.

00:20Chino Gaston.

00:46They are so afraid with their own narrative

00:49that we are going to reinforce our presence in Escoda Shoal

00:54and deploy additional vessels here to accompany Teresa Magbanwa.

00:58The ship's supply is limited, so it needs to be supplied with water and food.

01:03But if the ships of China are already stranded, it will be difficult to resupply.

01:09Since May, BRP Teresa Magbanwa has repeatedly complained and asked China to leave Escoda Shoal.

01:16As far as our enforcement is concerned, all of this is in accordance with UNCLOS and of course the 2016 Arbitral Award.

01:28Well, that may be a challenge, but that is something that we are strategically considering.

01:34The ships of China in Escoda Shoal collided a few hours after the Chinese Coast Guard

01:42and Cape Engaño.

01:43It left a deep scar on our ships.

01:46In spite of these incidents, Escoda Shoal is not a new flashpoint according to the Philippine Navy.

01:52The National Maritime Council has ordered the PCG to find evidence for the possible implementation of another diplomatic protest.

02:02A number of steps are also being studied, such as the implementation of complaints to the United Nations.

02:07In this direction, the solicitor general has also become a member of the National Maritime Council.

02:12The council also wants to complain about the Chinese Coast Guard's violation of UNCLOS

02:18and the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.

02:23It is actually a code of conduct among seafarers.

02:27The principle behind it is to ensure safety among vessels at the high seas especially

02:36so that they will not collide.

02:39But what happened is they went through the extreme of putting a vessel at risk.

02:51So, it's ridiculous on their part.

02:54But the Philippines has no plan to face China's aggressive actions.

02:59If you are referring to more kinetic actions, that would not be to the best interest of our country

03:05and of China and even in the region.

03:07So, we are looking at this approach.

03:10We can never go wrong by using this diplomatic and peaceful approach.

03:15The violation of the Chinese Coast Guard against the Philippine ships happened just a month after the provisional arrangement

03:22for the reduction of raw remissions to the inshore.

03:25Therefore, it is being studied to expand it to other parts of the country's maritime domain.

03:31For GMA Integrated News, I am Chino Gaston, your witness.

03:37In the statement of the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines,

03:40they said that the two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard entered the inshore without permission

03:45in Escudo Shoal called Shenbinjiao of China.

03:49And despite the warning of the China Coast Guard,

03:52the PCG vessels bombed the China Coast Guard vessels.

03:57Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
