00:00BRP Teresa Magbanua is now composing the plan to destroy the Chinese ships in Escoda Shoal.
00:06It is estimated that it will take up to 3 months to complete.
00:10Here is my report.
00:15Because the Chinese ships destroyed the BRP Teresa Magbanua several times,
00:20in almost 5 months of guarding Escoda Shoal,
00:23some of the ships were cut off and damaged.
00:27According to the Philippine Coast Guard or PCG, it will take up to 2 to 3 months
00:33to complete the BRP Teresa Magbanua that is currently docked in Danau, Cebu.
00:37The first thing to be fixed is the big hole on its side.
00:41According to the PCG, the government will not spend money to fix their biggest ship.
00:45BRP Bagacay and another Coast Guard patrol ship
00:50that was also destroyed by China in Escoda in August 2019 will also be fixed in Cebu.
00:53Our countrymen have the ability to repair.
00:57That is what it will do. I know that it is still under warranty
00:59and the company that made Mitsubishi will pay for it.
01:04BRP Teresa Magbanua left Escoda Shoal last weekend
01:08due to bad weather and some crew members
01:10experienced severe dehydration and hunger
01:13due to China's prevention of resupplying the ship.
01:17Actually, they're now okay. They have recovered.
01:21There is a human element in our activities in the West Philippine Sea.
01:27We also send people. Let's not forget that they are our countrymen.
01:33They are the same to us.
01:34The PCG has already sent the replacement of BRP Teresa Magbanua to Escoda Shoal
01:38but they did not give any information
01:40on how many and if they have already arrived in Escoda Shoal.
01:44Last week, a Coast Guard ship, four Navy ships, and 52 Chinese militia vessels
01:51that are still guarding Escoda, which is only 75 nautical miles away from Palawan, were seen.
