00:00In the latest incident of China's harassment, BRP Sandai of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources repeatedly flooded the China Coast Guard.
00:11At one point, the ships of China tried to destroy the navigational equipment of the ship of BIFAR.
00:18From the West Philippine Sea, this is Ian Cruz.
00:22Ian, how are you there?
00:25Ivan, the harassment that we witnessed earlier in the hands of the China Coast Guard vessel and their militia vessels is really severe.
00:35And Ivan, it was only at 1.46 p.m. when we woke up that the water cannon of the China Coast Guard vessel opened.
00:44But Ivan, it did not immediately reach and hit the BRP Datu Sandai that we were watching.
00:50That's why what they did was really annoying.
00:53And what they did to their patentee, when it was almost 3 o'clock, they did the same thing to us.
01:05Wow.
01:08It's so tight.
01:11Stop it!
01:14Wow.
01:15What are you doing?
01:17Stop it!
01:18That's it.
01:19Our ship was hit again.
01:22The China Coast Guard vessels 21555 and 21551 were blocked, surrounded, and repeatedly hit by the BRP Datu Sandai of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
01:35The Chinese militia vessels can also be seen around.
01:39Until...
01:401-0-3, Kapuso.
01:42Let's go inside for a while.
01:491-0-3.
01:51The next one to hit was the China Coast Guard 21555.
01:55At 2.26 p.m., it continued to hit the water of another CCG vessel.
02:02It happened at 7 nautical miles near Escoda Shoal where the BRP Teresa Magbalua of the Philippine Coast Guard was stationed.
02:10It happened at 7 nautical miles near Escoda Shoal where the BRP Teresa Magbalua of the Philippine Coast Guard was stationed.
02:18The wreckage of the Coast Guard ship hit the portside of the BRP Datu Sandai.
02:22Meanwhile, the BRP Datu Sandai retreated for the safety of its passengers.
02:27But only for a few moments.
02:31Kapuso, we thought it was over.
02:34Kapuso, we thought it was over.
02:36This is the China Coast Guard 4102 that also hit the water of Kinarorooana.
02:44The China Coast Guard's ship hit the water cannon.
02:47We were forced to go inside the ship.
02:49At this point, all the ships around us were surrounded.
02:53The ships were talking while bombing.
02:56Even though we were inside the ship, we felt the strong impact of the water.
03:01At the same time of the bombing, the Coast Guard Vessel 21555 hit our front and hit the bow of our ship.
03:10They are destroying our equipment.
03:13It's strong.
03:24We were hit by the water cannon on the left.
03:26Then, someone is blocking us.
03:29There, another hit.
03:33That's five hits.
03:36The China Coast Guard.
03:39There.
03:41The water cannon is strong.
03:51At one point, the China Coast Guard is also destroying our navigation equipment above.
03:59It's raining heavily.
04:08It's strong.
04:09They are destroying our bow.
04:12We were surrounded.
04:14They are destroying our navigation equipment, Kapuso.
04:20We don't know how long we can stay alive.
04:25We lost our navigation equipment.
04:30Almost all of the CCGs or China Coast Guard Vessels were hit by the water cannon.
04:37It's moving.
04:38It might break.
04:41Kapuso, we are here inside the bridge.
04:47We are here for a while because almost all of the China Coast Guard Vessels were hit by the water cannon.
04:59Some of them are closing in on us.
05:03We were hit again a while ago.
05:06I think it's less than five hits.
05:08If we lose this life, we might lose our navigation aids here.
05:18The China Coast Guard said that they are carrying out unilateral control measures after the illegal entry of a Philippine ship, the Escoda Shoal, which China calls the Xian Bin Reef.
05:30China also said that they have a Philippine ship that fell into the sea.
05:34At the same time, they are warning the Philippines to stop their unilateral infringement.
05:38But BFAR has denied this.
05:42We are all here, all of us.
05:44We are all complete here.
05:46The same goes for the embedded media.
05:48In these moments, Ivan, you can see that Pia and I are sailing here in the West Philippine Sea.
05:55We are in a safe location.
05:58But just a while ago, we were able to see the China Coast Guard Vessels around us.
06:04But if IJ will show something, the Chinese Navy is still there.
06:09In that area.
06:10They are still siding with us in these moments.
06:15And Ivan, the good thing is that I will report on these moments.
06:21For those who are worried about the BFAR members,
06:25we were not harmed in this ship.
06:30After the several times that the China Coast Guard bombed us,
06:34and almost 30 minutes of heavy bombing,
06:38we were not harmed.
06:40What was damaged were the navigation equipment of this ship.
06:45There were also personal items that were damaged and wet.
06:49As for the ships, Ivan, there were railings on both sides.
06:54On the other side, we saw that there were cups.
06:57And in the other area, we saw that the fenders were lowered.
07:08The fenders serve as a block for those who are attached here.
07:13That is why this ship was not affected.
07:17That is all for now, Ivan.
07:18The latest while we are broadcasting here in the West Philippine Sea.
07:21For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz.
07:2424 hours.
07:26Thank you, Ian, for your report.
07:28And may you reach your destination safely.
07:31According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
07:348 Chinese ships were damaged in the BFAR ship, BRP Datu Sandai.
07:39According to the NTF-WPS,
07:41China prohibited the BFAR ships from carrying out humanitarian missions.
07:46And because of China's dangerous moves,
07:48such as circling, bombing, and bombing of the BFAR vessel,
07:53the Philippine ships had an engine failure
07:56and the humanitarian operation was stopped.
07:59Because of China's unprofessional and aggressive actions,
08:02the Philippine crew and fishermen were put in danger.
08:06Despite what happened,
08:08the morale of the BFAR crew remained high and safe.
08:12It is also not true that China Coast Guard reported
08:15that one of their crew fell and was rescued by the CCG.
08:20This fake news is a clear demonstration of China
08:24that distorted the truth.
08:27The Philippines is calling on China
08:29to stop the outrageous moves
08:32that are disturbing peace and security.
08:35The Philippines is insisting on defending our rights
08:39under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
08:42or UNCLOS, and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
08:48A passage through the Mandawi-Mactan Bridge
08:51in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu,
08:53was found to be the source of the water spout above the Mactan Channel.
08:57This happened on Friday afternoon.
08:59According to the video,
09:01some motorists also stopped in Tulay
09:03to see the strange water spout
09:06that appeared a few minutes later.
09:08In both GMA Regional TV,
09:10Pag-asa Visayas said that it is possible
09:12that this is one of the water spouts
09:14that resulted from the thunderstorms in Metro Cebu that day.
09:19Despite China's new approach to our ships,
09:22just like what happened earlier near Escuado Shoal,
09:25the armed forces of the Philippines
09:27continued their missions in areas
09:29that are part of our Exclusive Economic Zone.
09:32Darlene Cai was spotted.
09:38Despite the loss of China's Air Force flares
09:41in the Maritime Domain Awareness Patrol
09:43of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BFAR,
09:45and the Philippine Coast Guard in Bajo de Masinloc, Zambales,
09:48as well as the release of China's flares
09:50in the BFAR Air Patrol in Subi Reef, or Zamora Reef,
09:53the armed forces of the Philippines, or AFP,
09:56continued their missions in areas
09:58that are part of our Exclusive Economic Zone.
10:01We continue to deploy our forces,
10:06our Navy and our Air Force in that area
10:10to show that we really own that area.
10:13So no matter what incidents happen there,
10:16we continue to do our missions there.
10:20That's why we're asking the Filipino people to support us.
10:24According to a security analyst,
10:26no matter if it's in the sea or in the ocean,
10:29China's harassment in the West Philippine Sea is unparalleled.
10:33Earlier, BFAR's BRP Datu Sandai
10:36repeatedly attacked and water-cannoned
10:39China Coast Guard vessels
10:42and detained Chinese maritime militia vessels
10:45near the Escoda Osamina Shoal,
10:47which is called China's Xi'an Min Reef.
10:50If they really control that area,
10:52they will really cut off
10:55our land features that we occupy.
10:58It's important for our forces to strengthen
11:01and strengthen the government's strategies
11:04in controlling the West Philippine Sea,
11:07especially if it's possible for China's activities to go unnoticed.
11:10It's not just the flare, they will lose it.
11:12Is it possible for that to happen, Doc?
11:15We're really worried.
11:17They think they're very strong,
11:19they're very powerful,
11:21but we're falling apart.
11:23We need to buy, but at the same time,
11:25we will buy, but we need to develop our industry first.
11:29Our allies, such as America and Japan,
11:32once again expressed their support for the Philippines
11:35following China's recent actions.
11:38For GMA Integrated News,
11:40Darlene Kai, for 24 Hours.
11:47Before joining The Boyz Kids Philippines,
11:49Ding Dong Dante was the host of his personal advocacy
11:52while Coach Stella of SB19
11:54was part of a school concert tour.
11:56Here's Shika.
12:00The kids are happier and more comfortable with each other
12:05in The Boyz Kids Philippines.
12:07Coach Stella of SB19,
12:09Billy Crawford,
12:11and Julian Sanuse.
12:13And of course, the newest coach,
12:15SB19 member Pablo,
12:17added to their fun.
12:19But now, I think the kids are more reserved.
12:22Because of Pablo?
12:23Because of Pablo,
12:24I feel like they're more eager.
12:27It's like I'm not looking for an ally,
12:29I'm looking for new enemies.
12:32It's like that.
12:33They have three allies now.
12:37While The Boyz Kids Philippines is not yet starting,
12:40the coaches are busy with their commitments.
12:43Stell is now part of the concert series
12:46We Play Here School Tour,
12:49where the fans are eager to receive him,
12:52especially when he performs his single,
12:55Na Di Ko Ma Sabi,
12:57which is included in his EP, Na Roo.
13:00The song is special for Stell,
13:02which was composed by National Artist for Music, Ryan Cayabyab.
13:07Kapuso Prime Time King Ding Dong Dantes,
13:09who is the host of The Boyz Kids Philippines,
13:11continues to push his personal advocacies,
13:15including disaster preparedness and volunteerism.
13:20Yeah, you know,
13:22whenever something happens to us,
13:24obviously there are a lot of people in need.
13:27But we also know that a lot of people are willing to help.
13:30The question is, they just don't know how.
13:33That's why he and his partners created an app
13:36so that more people can help in times of need.
