00:00A new diplomatic protest was held in the Philippines
00:03regarding the new harassment of Chinese ships in the West Philippine Sea.
00:08The B-4 ship that was destroyed after the Chinese Coast Guard bombed and bombed it
00:14has now returned to the coast.
00:16And live from the sea is Raffy Tima.
00:19Raffy?
00:22The B-4 ship was rescued from its home port
00:27after experiencing a very dangerous action
00:31from the Chinese Coast Guard in Scarborough Shoal.
00:36After the Chinese Coast Guard bombed and bombed the B-4 ship
00:40near Bahaudimasinlok yesterday,
00:42the ship has now returned to the coast.
00:44From a distance, it looks like the ship is intact.
00:47Up close, you can see the UPSA railing on the starboard side or right side of the ship.
00:52One of the lifecraft has a crack and its condition is damaged.
00:55The ship's navigational light is deformed.
00:58The firehose box and air-conditioning are damaged.
01:01The three CCTVs and the small water cannon of the ship are also damaged.
01:05In a clearer and more complete video from the past,
01:09you can see how the Chinese Coast Guard targeted
01:12the exhaust system or the mouth of the B-4 ship.
01:15If it was hit by water, it's possible that its engine will die.
01:18It's very dangerous now that it's in the middle of the sea.
01:21It's a good thing that it has protection.
01:24The next target was the water cannon of the tank of Crudo
01:27that was supplied by the B-4 to the Filipino fishermen.
01:30You can see the splash of water after it hit the three large tanks made of PVC.
01:35When it didn't hit the water,
01:36the giant ship was able to speed up its speed
01:39until the small B-4 ship was able to reach and hit the side.
01:46According to the crew of the ship,
01:48the BRP Datu Pagbuaya of the side of the ship
01:51was hit by almost 40 degrees.
01:53Even though the Chinese Coast Guard continued to hit it,
01:56they were not far from being hit.
01:58According to the B-4,
01:59the BRP Datu Pagbuaya was commissioned only two years ago.
02:02That's why it's sad that many of these were damaged.
02:05Hopefully, by next year,
02:07our floating assets will increase.
02:09In terms of quality,
02:12we are also ensuring the quality of our materials.
02:19According to the DFA,
02:20a diplomatic protest was held here in the Philippines against China.
02:24The Chinese coast guard also protested
02:26against the ship of the B-4 in Escoda Shoal.
02:28Are we going to summon the Chinese ambassador?
02:32I'll be seeing him.
02:33Today?
02:34Well, I'll be seeing him.
02:35The Chinese embassy has no objection to the new diplomatic protest.
02:38But they said earlier that their actions are legal and professional
02:43to protect their sovereignty.
02:45It's very clear.
02:46I mean, we were within our legal rights.
02:48Certainly, we don't understand why China, again,
02:51is repeating these actions which are clearly illegal.
02:54That's why we are working with like-minded nations
02:59to break this lie.
03:02They have no basis in what they are saying.
03:06When the DLP Dato Pagbwaya was docked,
03:08one of the Philippine ships was a Chinese Navy ship
03:12with a bow number of 500.
03:14It reached a distance of 300 yards.
03:16It was the first time this happened in Baudimas, Imloc, according to the PCG.
03:19According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
03:22the Philippine Navy may also deploy the Philippine warships
03:25to accompany the B-4 and PCG resupply missions
03:29to the Philippine fishermen.
03:31China has taken this route of escalating.
03:35That's what I want to emphasize,
03:36and this is also what Commodore J. Tariella emphasized,
03:40that they are afraid because the PLAN Navy ship of the PRC
03:44is blocking them.
03:48So, in reaction to that,
03:50the Philippine government reserves the right
03:52to also deploy the Philippine Navy in this circumstance.
03:58Because we were not the first ones here.
04:01This is contrary to the position of the National Maritime Council
04:04which was the first to say that they do not want to be involved
04:06in the situation of the military of China against the military of the Philippines.
04:09Our president is very clear that all disputes,
04:14conflict situations will be done by peaceful means
04:20or diplomatic actions and mechanisms.
04:22Because if it's Navy to Navy, it will escalate.
04:26We do not know what will happen next.
04:28If ever there is a misunderstanding, misinformation.
04:32We don't want war.
04:33Who wants war?
04:34We don't want to think of our fishermen.
04:37You are blaming us.
04:39And that is not the position of the Philippine government.
04:43The Philippine Navy refused to comment.
04:45But in a statement, the Philippine Navy said,
04:48the AFP is aware of everything that is happening
04:51and assured that they are also present in the area.
04:57Tomorrow, the PIA will have an in-depth inspection
05:00of the BRP Datu Pagbwaya
05:01to find out how serious the misunderstanding is.
05:05It is possible that it will take three weeks or more
05:08to fix the damaged parts of this ship.
