00:00 If there is a dam a few miles away from Bajo de Masinloc,
00:03 in the water near Ayungin Shoal,
00:06 the coastguards of the Philippines and China are again chasing and blocking it.
00:10 This is Mav Gonzalez.
00:12 This year, when our troops resupply mission in Ayungin Shoal,
00:18 the meeting, pursuit,
00:21 encirclement and harassment of the China Coast Guard
00:24 to the Philippine Coast Guard ships
00:26 and vessels that bring supplies for our soldiers in the damaged BRP Sierra Madre
00:32 even if it is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, Ayungin Shoal.
00:37 The blockade of the new resupply mission today
00:41 can be seen in the video of PCG, their ship on the right
00:44 suddenly minored and stopped after being stopped by the China Coast Guard.
00:48 They almost got into a fight
00:50 while the ships of the Chinese Maritime Militia are surrounded.
00:54 The tweet of security analyst Ray Powell also shows the activity of China.
00:58 Based on its automatic identification system,
01:01 the China Coast Guard was able to stop the resupply mission from Bina Shoal,
01:05 which is located near Ayungin Shoal,
01:07 to serve as a blockade of the China Maritime Militia vessels from Mischief Reef.
01:12 Last afternoon, the two resupply vessels entered inside Ayungin Shoal
01:17 and brought food, equipment and other supplies to the soldiers in the BRP Sierra Madre.
01:23 Based on Powell's second tweet,
01:25 at 3.30 pm, the resupply mission was already far from Ayungin Shoal and was returning to Palawan.
01:31 But the maritime militia vessels still chased them.
01:34 One day, the BRP Cabra and the PCG's dock were surrounded, just a few meters away.
01:41 For Powell, a security expert, and Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri,
01:45 China's maneuvers were dangerous.
01:48 "We are still trying to breathe the Chinese's breath, but they still have no respite.
01:52 They used to claim that their territory, the entire South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea,
01:58 was part of the permanent court of arbitration, which was won by the Philippines.
02:04 That is wrong and baseless."
02:06 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales is your witness.
