00:00The Philippine Coast Guard assured that China will not occupy Escoda Shoal even if BRP Teresa Magbanwa left the area.

00:08The presence of the Philippines will still remain in the area.

00:13We have on the spot Chino Gaston. Chino.

00:16Connie June, the return of BRP Teresa Magbanwa to Palawan is not a defeat and not a surrender after more than four months of staying in Escoda Shoal.

00:27According to PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J. Tariella, the withdrawal of Magbanwa is due to bad weather conditions

00:35or sea conditions and weather in the said area, the lack of supply and the need to collect BRP Teresa Magbanwa after the Chinese Coast Guard

00:47and the medical condition of some of the crews.

00:53PCG Commandant Ronnie Hill Gavadau decided to return the ship to undergo repairs and to address the medical conditions of four affected crew members.

01:03Three of the crew were said to have dehydration while one was attacked by gout.

01:11PCG assured that their ships will return to Escoda and there will be no reclamation activity there that they will not operate.

01:19There are other ships that the Philippine Coast Guard can deploy there.

01:23In PCG's monitoring, BRP Teresa Magbanwa did not leave Escoda Shoal due to bad weather.

01:30Even the counterparts of the Chinese Coast Guard and the People's Liberation Army Navy also left.

01:42Eleven Chinese maritime fishing vessels are staying in Escoda and as we said, the Chinese Coast Guard and Chinese Navy left.

01:52In addition to PCG, we cannot ignore the occupation of the Chinese Coast Guard in Escoda, in Pahaw de Masinloc, what's happening now in Escoda Shoal.

02:04First of all, PCG can enter and patrol Escoda because aside from two lagoons and many lagoons, it is more than 130 square kilometers in size.

02:15PCG and other Philippine ships are still free to return and enter Escoda.

02:21Due to its low tide elevation, it is only 72 nautical miles away from Palawan.

02:27On the issue of ship supply, PCG admitted that the desalination filters are insufficient and they did not think that the deployment in Escoda will last this long.

02:36That's why the filters for desalination machines were depleted.

02:41The filters are used to convert salt water to drinking water.

02:46Ship crews were forced to use rainwater and runoff from air conditioning units as drinking water.

02:53Japan will help buy PCG desalination filters to impact more supply.

03:01As of now, PCG does not say how many ships and when they will return to Escoda Shoal.
