NewsTranscript
00:00The United States, the European Union, and other countries have now agreed to handle the new incidents of China's harassment in the West Philippine Sea.
00:11David N. Goliath was the one who hijacked a Chinese Coast Guard ship from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources near Bajo de Maciloc in the West Philippine Sea.
00:21In Escudo Shoal, another BFAR ship was hijacked by the CCG.
00:26Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:3110 meters!
00:42The hit! The hit!
00:49This is a new incident of China's harassment in the West Philippine Sea near Bajo de Maciloc in the West Philippine Sea.
01:01From the air, it can be seen how big the China Coast Guard 3302 is compared to the BRP Datu Pagbuhaya's water cannon of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
01:11It is part of the Maritime Patrol to support the Filipino fishermen in the area.
01:16As you can see from the video, it is a jet stream water cannon that is really intended to damage the structure and the communication equipment of Datu Pagbuhaya.
01:28A good thing that the BFAR vessel has a seamanship skills to outmaneuver this bigger Coast Guard vessel.
01:38Not just one, but two times the water cannon of China's ship.
01:42And not only did it pump water, but it also removed the BRP Datu Pagbuhaya.
01:49Oh!
01:51Oh!
01:52Oh!
01:57Oh!
02:02The hit! The hit! The hit!
02:04The hit!
02:06The impact of the two ships, Pala, David and Goliath.
02:10According to the Philippine Coast Guard, the two ships of China obstructed and made dangerous maneuvers on their ships.
02:23This is actually the first time that we have documented a PLA Navy warship shadowing a Coast Guard vessel in Bajo de Macinlo at a distance of only 300 yards.
02:38But the Chinese version of what happened is different.
02:41According to the Chinese Coast Guard, the Philippine ships are dangerous to the Chinese ships.
02:48The Philippine Coast Guard ignored the Chinese ships and put one of the CCG vessels in danger.
02:57This is actually an overkill.
02:59Imagine this, our BFAR vessel is so small compared to this humongous size China Coast Guard vessel.
03:08And they have disregarded the collision regulation, intentionally sidesweeping a smaller BFAR vessel.
03:18But almost at the same time as what happened in Bajo de Macinlo, the Philippine ships near Escoda Shoal were also harassed.
03:27At that time, BRP Dato Romapenit, together with the CCG vessels, helped the Filipinos to stop fishing in the area.
03:36The BRP Dato Bangkaw of BFAR also covered and covered the side of the China Coast Guard vessel.
03:42A Chinese warship was spotted in the area, but it did not approach.
03:47According to the National Maritime Council, the Bajo de Macinlo is part of the territory of the Philippines, which is also inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.
03:56Escoda Shoal is also inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.
03:58This is in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 2016 Arbitral Ruling, and the Philippine Maritime Zones Act.
04:05The new law was passed by China because it included in the West Philippine Sea the Bajo de Macinlo and Kalayaan Group of Islands, where they have territories.
04:16We deem it as illegal.
04:19They do not have any basis for that.
04:22And if ever they do submit it, they did submit it to the UN, it will not be automatic.
04:28It will still come up with a, you know, it will go through a process.
04:31And we are praying that, you know, the international law, the Provisional Clause will prevail.
04:41The National Maritime Council was asked if this is the right time for the Philippines and the Philippine Navy.
04:52What wants to happen actually is, because when you put a Navy vessel against a Navy vessel, it will only escalate the tension.
05:00The strategy is, it's always a white ship play because that is a personality of the Coast Guard.
05:09Peaceful police, but the Navy is on the defense side.
05:13So if you put a gray ship against a gray ship, it can escalate the situation.
05:18For GMA Integrated News, who will be your first witness?
05:23My fellow Filipinos, be the first witness.
