00:00The latest sighting of a Chinese water vessel in Philippine archipelagic waters was met with

00:04a standard protocol of identification request and reminder. And it turned out well and fine

00:09given the compliance and adherence to international protocol by ships in innocent passage

00:14in unfamiliar territory. Our Patrick de Jesus tells us more.

00:20Another Chinese vessel entered the Philippine archipelagic waters.

00:25The Chinese research vessel Lanhai 101 was first detected on February 9 by the AFP Western

00:32Command's Littoral Monitoring Station Melville as it sailed in the eastern part of Palawan.

00:37The Philippine Navy's BRP Andres Bonifacio along with the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Melchora

00:44Aquino was immediately deployed for monitoring. The crew of the Chinese research vessel reportedly

00:50responded properly to the radio challenge, stating that their rerouting was due to rough

00:55sea conditions in the western part of Palawan and assured compliance with the rights of innocent

01:01passage. The Navy stated that the research vessel came from Port Blanc, Malaysia and was returning

01:08to Shandong, China. The Chinese research vessel

01:20was last sighted in the western part of Subic Bay, Zambales and is likely to exit the country's EEZ by

01:26tomorrow. Just last week, three PLA Navy warships also entered the country's archipelagic waters.

01:34However, unlike those vessels, the coordination with the current research vessel was better,

01:39something the Navy emphasized should be practiced by all foreign vessels.

01:50We were able to track this when they entered our EEZ. They were challenged when they were within

01:55radio frequency range. They responded accordingly. This is the expected behavior of foreign ships from

02:03any nationality, from any country that passes through our archipelagic waters. Meanwhile,

02:08the AFP is also on alert following the Office of Civil Defense's alert for Palawan and Basilan

02:15due to anticipated debris from China's space rocket launched today.

02:20We have already informed our field units what to do in the event of the debris

02:25that would probably cause any harm or endanger the security of our people.

02:29Based on the advisory from the OCD and the Philippine Space Agency, possible debris drop

02:35zones are 85 nautical miles from Ruzul Reef, 40 nautical miles from Puerto Princesa City, Palawan

02:42and 33 nautical miles from Haji Mutamad, Basilan. The public is advised not to approach or touch

02:49any debris they may found. Patrick de Azuz, from The National TV, for a new and better Philippines.
