PCG: Higit 135 Chinese maritime militia vessels namataan sa Julian Felipe Reef
Hindi bababa sa 130 Chinese maritime militia vessels ang namataan ng Philippine Coast Guard na nakahilera't nagkukumpulan sa Julian Felipe Reef sa pinakahuli nitong pagpatrolya sa lugar.
Ayon sa PCG, posibleng ginagawa ito ng China para ibandera ang lakas ng kanilang mga puwersa.
Maaari rin daw na paraan nila ito para maharang ang resupply missions natin sa ating teritoryo.
Samantala, nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang CNN Philippines na makasama sa paghatid ng suplay ng PCG sa Kalayaan group of islands.
Magbabalita ang aming correspondent Tristan Nodalo.

00:00 The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea is warning of the continued increase of Chinese maritime militia vessels in Julian Felipe Reef.
00:09 In the last patrol of the Philippine Coast Guard this weekend, the militia vessels in Bahura were seen.
00:16 Julian Felipe Reef is located 175 nautical miles or 324 kilometers in the far part of the town of Bataraza in Palawan.
00:26 Julian Felipe Reef is included in the territorial scene of the Kalayaan Island Group, which is why it can be considered that the Philippines has a right here.
00:34 What is more interesting is that even if we challenged them through radio, none of those vessels ever responded to our radio calls.
00:47 Within five days, CNN Philippines joined the routine rotation and resupply mission, or RORE, of the Philippine Coast Guard in the Kalayaan Islands.
00:56 The first stopover was Pag-asa Island.
00:59 Even though we were not able to get down from the BRP Cabra, we were able to see the Chinese Coast Guard ship,
01:05 which was also passed by a Chinese Navy vessel and several militia vessels.
01:10 From Pag-asa, we went to Likas Island, which is more than 18 hectares and is considered a giant sea turtle sanctuary.
01:18 We have now arrived at Likas, one of the Philippine Occupied Features in the Kalayaan Island Group.
01:24 They are now doing a resupply mission for the Philippine troops there in Likas.
01:29 After this, we will go to Patag and Lawak.
01:33 The big ships cannot get close, so they are being transported by a rubber boat and a Vigetacol inflatable boat or VIB.
01:42 Due to the high tide and the changing weather, our trip to Patag Island took five hours.
01:50 After that, the Coast Guard's assignment, Arnel, was just finished in Patag Island.
01:54 It is a pleasure to serve our country and to guard our territory.
02:03 It is difficult because of the water. When the water runs out, it is only water that can survive.
02:09 Especially when it rains, there is no electricity. It is a generator.
02:14 If Arnel is back, Fritz Jebbert will go to his new assignment in Lawak Island.
02:20 He will be away from his family this Christmas, but he will keep his sworn duty.
02:26 It is an honor for us, we are one of the people entrusted by our organization.
02:32 We talked to our families, this is how it is in our service.
02:36 It is not always happy, sometimes there is sadness.
02:39 We do this not only for us, but for our family, but for everyone, for the country.
02:44 When it comes to Lawak Island, the weather is not good.
02:48 We tried to get closer to Lawak Island to see what the Philippines' occupied feature looks like.
02:55 But now, the waves are strong, the weather is not favorable, so we will just stay here.
03:01 Due to the difficulty of bringing supplies to the island, the resupply mission in Lawak Island was delayed until last night.
03:07 On our journey, there were also several radio challenges between the Philippines and China.
03:16 The NPFWPS promised that, like Pag-asa Island, the government will continue to develop the other islands in the free zone.
