00:00BRP GABRIELA SILANG will replace BRP TERESA MAGBANWA in overseeing the West Philippine Sea after it overheated while the China Coast Guard's monster ship was being towed.
00:11The Philippines filed a new diplomatic protest against China because of its presence in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:19We have first news from Bernadette Reyes.
00:23The China Coast Guard 5901 was spotted 66.69 nautical miles away in Pundakit, Zambales.
00:35According to the Philippine Coast Guard, the monster ship was towed around Bajo de Masindok, Panatagshul, and the coastline of Zambales.
00:43Before this, BRP TERESA MAGBANWA was able to tow the monster ship, but the ship was hit by a PCG.
00:50BRP TERESA MAGBANWA experienced overheating of its auxiliary engines.
00:55That's why it returned to the port of Bataan.
01:01That is primarily the reason why the China Coast Guard was able to once again come near at a distance of 67 nautical miles.
01:10BRP TERESA MAGBANWA was replaced by BRP GABRIELA SILANG, but this ship is smaller and is only half the length of the monster ship of China.
01:20According to the Philippine Coast Guard, the maritime patrol aircraft of the PCG is also carrying out a radio challenge to the China Coast Guard vessel.
01:31Coast Guard, CD5901, this is BRP CABRA. Please leave this area immediately. Over.
01:40On January 5, BRP CABRA's PCG radio challenged the monster ship, which was more than 50 nautical miles from Capones Island in Zambales.
01:50But more than a week ago, the monster ship still did not leave.
01:54On January 10, BRP TERESA MAGBANWA's radio challenged the Chinese ships, which crossed 70 to 80 nautical miles from Zambales.
02:03China Coast Guard Vessel 3304, this is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel BRP TERESA MAGBANWA.
02:11You are directed to depart immediately and notify us of your intentions. Over.
02:16At one point, China deployed a helicopter of their People's Liberation Army Navy,
02:23which was called provocative by the National Maritime Council.
02:27They mocked the continued illegal presence of Chinese ships, which caused tension.
02:34This was also excluded from the Freedom of Navigation, Innocent Passage, Maritime Zone Act of the Philippines,
02:40United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and 2016 Arbitral Ruling.
02:45This encouraged China to respect the law of the Philippines and the orders of its ships to stop invading our EEZ.
02:54The Philippines held a diplomatic protest.
02:57At the trilateral meeting of the Philippines, America, and Japan,
03:01outgoing US President Joe Biden condemned President Bongbong Marcos for his aggressive actions against China.
03:09According to the press release of the Presidential Communications Office,
03:13Biden hopes that he will continue to replace US President-elect Donald Trump
03:18to assist the Philippines, America, and Japan in maritime security and other issues.
03:24This is the first news, Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.
03:32China again violated the law and violated the patrolling of the China Coast Guard.
03:38They mocked the Philippines and stopped their malicious accusations.
03:42They added that their rights and sovereignty in the South China Sea are legally based.
03:47This is the first time that the Philippines has won the 2016 arbitral ruling.
