00:00Again, the ships of China harassed the ships of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea

00:05and the two boats of the Filipino fishermen.

00:09Vell Custodio of PTV broke the news to the nation.

00:15After the Philippine Coast Guard received a report on the harassment of the People's Liberation Army

00:20or PLA Navy Helicopter of China to the fishermen in the West Philippine Sea,

00:25the PCG immediately deployed the ship along with the media to the Brazil Reef.

00:30In the journey of the PTV news team in the West Philippine Sea,

00:33a dangerous maneuver was created that did not go down

00:36to the two ships of the China Coast Guard or CCG near Escoda Shoal

00:40last Saturday at 7 p.m.

00:43The Chinese ship was again harassed until 10 p.m.

00:47They also think that their presence here is legitimate maritime law enforcement.

00:55But in reality, we know that in the middle of the night,

00:59you're going to cut a particular vessel.

01:02This is very dangerous.

01:04It can hit a boat and can be a disaster.

01:11But our Philippine Coast Guard commanding officers are always professional

01:15and very competent in terms of seamanship skills.

01:19That's why we were able to prevent this kind of collision with the Chinese Coast Guard.

01:24Past 6 a.m. on December 1,

01:27we arrived near the Iroquois or Brazil Reef,

01:30where the PLA Navy Helicopter was said to have captured footage.

01:34At the moment, the Philippine Coast Guard ship that we are driving has stopped

01:38because the Chinese ship blocked us on that part of the Brazil Reef,

01:43which is only 137 nautical miles from the mainland Palawan.

01:48More than 18 fishing boats sailed to the Brazil Reef.

01:52Fishing boats approached the BRP Melchor Aquino,

01:56but even though our ship was with them, the CCG also approached it.

02:00Here, if you can see on the left side of your screen,

02:03the Philippine Coast Guard is also blocking another Chinese ship on the right.

02:10Because of the Chinese ships that were watching,

02:12it took almost two hours for the fishing boats to approach us.

02:17It's really sad.

02:18Just like last time,

02:20when we first entered this area,

02:26we were immediately blocked.

02:29Is it common for you to be blocked?

02:31Yes, it's common.

02:31Especially when we were going to other areas,

02:35we were caught by INOXDA.

02:39We were also being harassed.

02:42We were even brought down by their ships.

02:45We were forced to leave and go home.

02:46They also told me that there were two Philippine fishing boats

02:50that were caught in the bad weather.

02:55But all of the crew were rescued by other Philippine fishing boats.

03:00None of them were caught.

03:03It is also very disappointing.

03:06It's really sad that our Philippine fishermen were also caught.

03:11Despite the presence of China Coast Guard Vessel 5205

03:16and the PLA Navy monitoring the MirFAC,

03:20that they were able to fly an aircraft here,

03:23they were able to monitor the Philippine fishermen.

03:25Commodore Tariella added that China offered to rescue them.

03:30But one day has already passed after the sinking of two fishing boats.

03:34We will ensure that we're going to maintain our presence there

03:38to ensure the safety and security of our Filipino fishermen.

03:42Because, as you said, they are more confident that they can be able to freely fish.

03:47And the Chinese are going to hesitate harassing our Filipino fishermen

03:52if there is a Philippine Coast Guard Vessel

03:55or any Philippine maritime forces here in the West Philippines.

04:00It's a big help for us, ma'am.

04:03It's a big help for us.

04:04If we were to enter another area that has a Philippine Coast Guard Vessel,

04:10we will be able to enter.

04:11Because they are warning us

04:14so that we can enter our area and do good deeds.

04:17The fishermen were also safely returned to their fishing posts.

04:21The early birth of the PCG is still in progress.

04:24According to the PCG, under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

04:29they will continue to maintain the presence of the PCG

04:32to ensure the safety of Filipino fishermen

04:36and those who are unable to fish in the West Philippine Sea.

04:39Reporting from People's Television Network,

04:41Vel Custodio, for Balitang Pambansa.
