00:00The house that was built on the beach in Panglima, Sugala in Tawi-Tawi was damaged because of the rocks.
00:10Parts of the houses made of light materials were damaged.
00:15No one was hurt because of the rocks, and the road was smooth.
00:19The authorities immediately responded to the Rapid Post Disaster Assessment.
00:24Exclusive GMA Integrated News video of the new Chinese Coast Guard's attack on our ship inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:35It seems that the Coast Guard's ship is about to hit the CCG Vessel.
00:40Joseph Moro was there.
00:43The size of the China Coast Guard Vessel 3302 is almost twice the size of the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Cabra.
00:51The two ships were facing each other earlier this afternoon at a distance of 170 kilometers from Sambales.
00:57Even though the BRP Cabra challenged, the Chinese Vessel continued to approach its target.
01:05Let's go there.
01:07The China Coast Guard's ship is at a distance of 6 to 10 kilometers per hour at these points.
01:13The BRP Cabra is constantly being attacked.
01:15Their attack was only up to 18 yards or 16 meters.
01:20In another video, the China Coast Guard's ship is almost next to the BRP Cabra.
01:25According to the PCG Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J. Tariella, the Cabra was able to escape and the vessel was able to escape.
01:33Because of the seamanship skills of our Coast Guard sailors, we were able to prevent them from delivering another possible collision.
01:44You can just imagine how much it would impact our smaller Coast Guard Vessel.
01:51This is not the first time that China's ship has approached the Philippines.
01:57The Chinese Coast Guard wants to normalize the situation.
02:00It's not disputed and for a long time, the China Coast Guard was not patrolling.
02:10The intention of China, if you don't notice them, it would take months or years.
02:18Then eventually, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will say, for so many years, we have been patrolling the area of blah, blah, blah.
02:26That's what we are preventing them to do, to make a reference a few years from now.
02:34When this happened, almost at the same time when another Chinese ship approached the ship of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.
02:42Under the monitoring of Maritime Security Expert Ray Powell, the 134-meter vessel of the China Coast Guard in the BRP Datu Bangkaw of BFAR was seen approaching.
02:51Earlier this afternoon, the China Coast Guard was still approaching Bangkaw up to the 100 nautical miles or almost 200 kilometers from Busuanga Island in Palawan.
03:01In the north, a research vessel of China was spotted in Batanes.
03:05It was almost after the visit of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegzit in the Philippines
03:10when it was announced that the Advanced Bilateral Special Forces Training will be conducted in Batanes.
03:15We are still waiting for the announcement from China.
03:18According to Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romaldes,
03:22China's challenge to the sovereignty of the Philippines is one of the reasons why the AFP needs to modernize.
03:28According to the Alloc of America, fighter jets can be sold in the Philippines,
03:33and if it continues, fighter jets can be delivered in the next year or in 2027.
03:38It depends on the terms. If it's affordable for us and approved by our Congress and approved by the President,
03:47we will have F-16s. But that is an offer as part of our AFP modernization program.
03:54This F-16 is the most appropriate for our Air Force.
03:59Aside from fighter jets, the Philippines also wants to add missiles.
04:03What Secretary Todoro really wants, we're hoping that we can still buy the Typhoon medium range missiles.
04:14Our aspiration is to have an Iron Dome like the one in Israel.
04:19There are also ships arriving for the Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Navy.
04:23For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, 24 Hours.
04:30The Office of the Ombudsman removed Porak Pampanga Mayor Jaime Capil and the illegal Pogo Hub in the city.
04:36The Ombudsman also allowed Capil to operate the Lucky South 99, even though he has already been arrested.
04:43It's illegal and he was recommended to close it.
04:47Aside from dismissal, the Ombudsman also removed Capil from retirement benefits and the privilege to run again or return to the government.
04:56In a statement, Capil said that he is saddened by the Ombudsman's decision and he is ready to appeal it.
