00:00A Chinese Coast Guard ship was detected in the Pampang of Zambales.
00:04It was due to the monitoring of some residents using the Automatic Identification System or AIS Tracker.
00:11PCG's reaction to this is the testimony of Joseph Moro.
00:19Not only in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines,
00:22but also in the Pampang of Zambales,
00:24it was detected in the Automatic Identification System or AIS Tracker
00:28by residents in San Felipe, Zambales,
00:30a Chinese Coast Guard ship with a body number of 21543 on December 10.
00:36According to the tracker, there are four more ships in the area.
00:39At that time, BRP Teresa Magbanwa was in the area
00:42and the signal was also seen from the CCG 21543.
00:46But when they arrived in the area, three ships with a Philippine flag were detected.
00:51PCG inspected one of the ships that was undocked
00:55and they did not see any irregularities.
00:57These are Chinese-operated dredgers.
01:00According to the report of the commanding officer, Teresa Magbanwa,
01:04some of the crew are Filipino, some of them are also Chinese national.
01:08There's a possibility that these dredgers that are being used in Manila Bay
01:13were also being contacted by the Chinese Coast Guard to do AIS scouting for them.
01:18Probably to create panic in the public, also to deceive the authorities.
01:27In fact, in the tracking that PCG has already distributed all over the world,
01:31the CCG 21543 is only operating for a short period of time.
01:36It is against the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea.
01:41We are still trying to obtain the permission of the Chinese Embassy in this area.
01:45In the United Nations General Assembly, the Philippines again decided to divide
01:49the territory of the Philippines in spite of China's occupation.
01:54So, only the Philippines has the right to establish baselines.
01:58And violating the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS,
02:02the establishment of China's baselines at any time.
02:05According to the Philippine Navy, 58 different ships of China
02:09were monitored in the West Philippine Sea this November.
02:13All our actions should be non-escalatory.
02:15All our actions should support the 2016 IPCRA tribunal ruling.
02:19In the midst of this, President Marcos promised to promote the AFP modernization.
02:24To all the members of the AFP, be assured that this administration remains committed
02:30to transforming our AFP into a world-class force
02:35that is a source of national pride and national security.
02:40This year, the Brahmo Supersonic Cruise Missiles of the Philippine Marines came from India.
02:45And this week, five new Black Hawk helicopters were received by the Philippine Air Force.
02:50The Philippine Navy wants to buy two more warships and six offshore patrol vessels.
02:55We have the Rehorizon III, almost 35 billion dollars.
03:01This is not a one-shot deal.
03:02This is a continuing effort.
03:04We have midway checks to see where we are.
03:07And if we need to improve this, more will be added.
03:11I would say that we are on track to hit our targets.
