00:00The Chinese Coast Guard's monster ship, Zambales,
00:03also left its position in the Kapones-Zambales area.
00:06But it was replaced by another CCG vessel
00:09that was part of the Radio Challenge of the Philippine Navy.
00:12Here's JP Saryano.
00:16China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
00:20This is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel BRP Gabriela Silang.
00:24This is a radio challenge of the Philippine Coast Guard
00:27to China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
00:30You do not possess any legal authority
00:33to patrol inside the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.
00:37You are directed to depart immediately.
00:40The Chinese ship was spotted earlier this morning,
00:4460 nautical miles from the coastline of the Kapones-Zambales.
00:48The China Coast Guard immediately responded.
00:51This is China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
00:53Patrolling in the sea area under the jurisdiction
00:57of the People's Republic of China.
00:59The so-called award for the South China Sea
01:03arbitration is illegal and invalid.
01:06China neither accepts nor recognizes it.
01:10CCG Vessel 3304 returned to the position
01:14of the aforementioned monster ship, CCG Vessel 5901,
01:19which has been circling around the exclusive economic zone
01:24or EEZ of the Philippines for more than two weeks.
01:26According to the PCG, until earlier this morning,
01:30the Chinese monster ship was monitored
01:33that is moving away from the coastal area of the Kapones-Zambales
01:37and will go to the direction of Bajo de Masinlok or Scarborough Shore,
01:42which is still a part of the EEZ of the Philippines.
01:46They are slowly moving.
01:48Sometimes they have a speed of 2 knots, sometimes 4 knots.
01:53So they are not just floating in one place.
01:57They are moving.
01:58That's obviously illegal.
02:00Again, they are not exercising freedom of navigation
02:04in our exclusive economic zone.
02:06Last Thursday, at the bilateral consultation mechanism
02:10or BCM of China and the Philippines,
02:12the Department of Foreign Affairs brought this issue
02:16to the officials of China.
02:18As far as the Coast Guard is concerned,
02:21this is the most effective thing we are doing now.
02:25We are not increasing tensions.
02:27We are not fighting.
02:30And we continue to defend that the West Philippine Sea,
02:34what our exclusive economic zone is doing
02:38to the EEZ of Zambales,
02:41is ours and there is no reason for China to violate it.
02:46This weekend was held in the West Philippine Sea
02:49in the area of Palawan,
02:51the first Maritime Cooperative Activity or MCA
02:54of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
02:57and the United States Indo-Pacific Command this year.
03:00They plan to increase or elevate this activity.
03:04According to the AFP,
03:06they will add activities
03:08such as more advanced training scenarios.
03:11They will also expand participation
03:13through the addition of assets
03:16and the existence of other member states.
03:20China also announced
03:22that they made a multiple combat readiness patrol
03:26in the area of Bajo de Maceblo.
03:29In 2016, the UN Arbitral Tribunal
03:34ruled that China's involvement in the entire West Philippine Sea,
03:38including Bajo de Maceblo,
03:40which is considered by the government of the Philippines
03:43as a part of the territory of the country
03:45and is within the exclusive economic zone or EEZ of the Philippines.
