00:00Jimmy Integrated News has just seen the shipwreck that was hit by the Philippine Coast Guard
00:06after it hit China in the Escoda Shoal.
00:10Let's watch Ian Cruz.
00:16There is a large canopy that is covered on the port side or the left-back part of the BRP Bagacay of the Philippine Coast Guard
00:22so that it won't be hit by water.
00:24It was hit by the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 21551.
00:43The railing on the right or the starboard of the ship was also damaged.
00:47There are also rocks and rocks on the bow of the ship because of the Chinese Vessel's obstruction.
00:53The BRP Bagacay will go to the coast and wide islands to deliver essential goods and rotate the troops.
01:00Inside, there is an auxiliary room vent that was also damaged.
01:04There is also damage to the steering room of the ship.
01:08China Coast Guard 3401 removed the BRP Cape and Ganyo
01:12because the right-back part of it was pierced.
01:15This is the worst intentional ramming that was done by the Chinese Coast Guard
01:22that resulted to such structural damage putting holes in our two Coast Guard Vessels.
01:27The two multi-role response vessels that are always in action in the West Philippine Sea are expected to be repaired immediately.
01:34On Sunday night, a ship of the People's Liberation Army Navy was spotted following the BRP Datu Sandai.
01:42This is part of the ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR
01:47that is conducting maritime patrols in the West Philippine Sea.
01:50The next day, another Chinese Navy Vessel came to us.
01:55Its closest distance is estimated to be 100 meters.
01:59The PLA Navy Vessels are always doing that, circling and shadowing.
02:05But they are not doing dangerous maneuver.
02:08The only thing that is doing dangerous maneuver in the West Philippine Sea
02:13to the point of resulting to collision and even intentional ramming
02:18is always the Chinese Coast Guard.
02:20And sometimes with the participation also of the Chinese Maritime Militia.
02:23Just this morning, the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel that has bound number 5103 approached Pagasa Island.
02:30Not less than 10 Militia Vessels,
02:33six of which are guarding the three sand decays of Pagasa Island
02:38that is being conducted by the scientific research of the UP Institute of Biology.
02:43Professor Jonathan Anticamara is hoping
02:46that the protection of the territories and heritage of the country will be strengthened.
02:51They should be helping us, all scientists should be helping
02:55because who will solve this problem, right?
02:59And how can we solve this if we don't have a good science, right?
03:03Because we are guessing now.
03:05So we need accurate information.
03:09Just this afternoon, the Maritime Patrol conducted again the three ships of BIFAR
03:14towards the Pagasa Sand Cays.
03:16This is China Coast Guard Vessel 5103.
03:19Your vessels have entered the area near Chinese Station Giao
03:23is abided by the rules of the People's Republic of China.
03:27Do not engage in illegal activities.
03:30China Coast Guard Vessel 5103.
03:33This is BRP Datu Sandai.
03:35To ensure the safety and security of our fishing vessels
03:39and the natural resources within the Philippine AEC over
03:43which the Republic of Philippines has sovereign rights,
03:47you must declare overroute.
03:49China sent a chaffer while patrolling our troops here in these sand cays.
03:57Their movement is really low.
04:01Aside from that chaffer,
04:03we can see that there are a lot of Chinese militia vessels here.
04:08They also have a Coast Guard Vessel there
04:11because it is not far from the sub-reef that is only in that area.
04:15China's chaffer has been watching the ships of BIFAR for almost an hour.
04:20A Chinese militia vessel made a dangerous maneuver
04:25as it approached a ship of BIFAR.
04:28Their Coast Guard also launched their small boat to guard our movement
04:34as our ships returned to the island of Pagasa.
04:38For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
