00:00A few days after the Chinese ships' blockade,

00:03the supplies arrived successfully to BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Eskoda Shoal.

00:08AFP confirmed that it is ready and that our troops are able to carry out the resupply mission in the West Philippine Sea.

00:16Patrick De Jesus is in the center of the news.

00:21Confirmed by AFP Chief General Romeo Browner, Jr.,

00:25through the Philippine Coast Guard helicopter,

00:29the supplies arrived successfully to BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Eskoda Shoal.

00:35This was after the humanitarian mission of the PCG was blocked by the Chinese Coast Guard and PLA Navy.

00:43We still have a lot of options.

00:45If you look at the recent mission of the Coast Guard, for instance,

00:50when they were trying to bring supplies to the BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Eskoda Shoal,

00:58they were blocked several times.

00:59They attempted more than once, but then finally they brought supplies using their helicopter.

01:06So that's one way of us exhausting all the options that are available to us.

01:16The Armed Forces of the Philippines also confirmed that they are able to carry out resupply missions in the West Philippine Sea

01:24in their own country's capabilities,

01:26despite the Chinese ships' bombing and water cannons against the Philippine ships.

01:33The China Coast Guard also said that the resupply to BRP Teresa Magbanwa was carried out by helicopter.

01:42That's why they are aware that accidents may occur in the sea and the Philippine actions will be compensated.

01:50As for the resupply missions, the US again confirmed their readiness to help.

01:57It's a matter of policy, post-consultation, and there's a range of options that are available.

02:04But what is the reason for the Philippines to ask for the help of the United States?

02:09Browner answered,

02:11When our troops are already hungry, they don't have any supplies anymore

02:19because our resupply missions have been blocked and that they are on the verge of dying,

02:26then that's the time we're going to seek the help of the United States.

02:30In talking about the Mutual Defense Treaty,

02:33Browner believed that it should be expanded in the face of a new security environment

02:40from the signing of the MDT between the Philippines and the United States in 1951

02:46that will be effective if there is an armed attack.

02:51The treaty has to be dynamic as well,

02:54but then again, we would like to emphasize that this is a political matter

02:58that has to be settled by our political leadership.

03:03Armed attack is not a legal definition necessarily, I think it's a diplomatic definition.

03:09And I also think that it's a question,

03:12General Browner and I are in uniform and we are instruments of policy.

03:18The next activities were arranged between the Philippines and the United States

03:23in the assistance of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the US Indo-Pacific Command

03:29here at the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio City

03:32accompanied by the People's Mutual Defense and Security Engagement Board.

03:39Before this, this Wednesday,

03:42AFP Chief Browner and US Indo-Pacom Commander Admiral Samuel Paparo Jr.

03:48visited the Bazaar Bay in Pampanga, one of the EDCA sites.

03:52The two officials inspected the site

03:54to see the current development in strengthening the operational capabilities of the Bazaar Base.

04:02Again, the United States gave the humanitarian assistance and disaster response

04:08the objective of having EDCA sites in its military base in the Philippines.

04:14Patrick de Azuz for Pambansang TV in Baguio, Philippines.
