00:00 China's radio challenge again blocked and blocked BFAR's aid to fishermen in Bajo de Macinlo.

00:10 But the Philippine Coast Guard was surprised by the statement of China,

00:14 that BFAR's ship was allowed to leave the so-called "Bahura".

00:19 Live on Tutok, Ian Cruz.

00:22 Ian?

00:26 Mel, in our three trips to Bajo de Macinlo in the West Philippine Sea,

00:32 from yesterday to earlier, we have seen that BFAR's ship was on its mission in Bajo de Macinlo.

00:40 We were just about to approach Bajo de Macinlo when our airplane was hit by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.

00:50 Our pilots were challenged by the radio from the Chinese Navy.

00:55 We are from the Chinese Navy.

00:57 I want you calling.

00:58 You are approaching China's Hongye Island.

01:01 This radio message is being recorded.

01:04 This is the SINPAP 208 Bravo RP-77,

01:08 the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources aircraft of the Philippine government.

01:13 We are now staying at local maritime patrol within the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of the Philippines.

01:20 The BFAR pilots asked them to review the map because they were the ones who passed the exclusive economic zone or EEC of the country.

01:29 Based on the 1982 UN Convention and the Law of the Sea,

01:33 we are free to fly and operate as the international law allows.

01:37 China, as a signing member of the UN Clause on 10 November 1982,

01:42 you are recommended to abide the said convention.

01:46 You are way beyond the 200 nautical mile EEC of your country.

01:51 Please review your chart.

01:53 But inside and outside of Bajo de Macinlo, the presence of the Chinese is strong.

01:58 From here in the area, we can see the Filipino fishing boats that are just beside the Scarborough Shoal.

02:04 What is saddening is that in the most open part of the shoal, the China Coast Guard vessels are there.

02:11 We also saw a floating barrier, so it is impossible for the Filipino fishermen to enter.

02:17 The floating barrier was put back in Bajo de Macinlo or Scarborough Shoal,

02:22 where the China barrier was also placed, but the Philippine Coast Guard was stopped last September.

02:28 The shoal is only 124 nautical miles away from Sambales.

02:33 This is the Scarborough Shoal bay and we can see that there is a floating barrier

02:37 and there are people guarding the rigid hull of the boats of the China Coast Guard.

02:42 Inside, there are two China Coast Guard vessels anchored.

02:46 Because our fishermen cannot enter the shoal, where the rich sea is said to be more peaceful,

02:52 they are just waiting for the people who will be caught outside.

02:56 The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources' ship that is supposed to deliver aid to the fishermen

03:02 is also being guarded by the China Coast Guard and Chinese militia near the shoal.

03:08 It is almost impossible to talk about this because of the blocking of the Chinese Coast Guard vessel.

03:13 Our troops are not just listening.

03:16 Even until yesterday, the Chinese radio challenge continues.

03:20 Philippine Aircraft, this is the Chinese Naval Warship calling.

03:24 You have approached the air adjacent to China Tuoyan Island.

03:29 To avoid miscalculation, please alter your course outwards. Over.

03:35 It is not far away, but in the near vicinity,

03:39 there are 16 mother boats of the Philippine fishermen who have circled the BFAR vessel,

03:44 Datu Tamblot, for food, water and crude oil.

03:48 While doing this humanitarian mission, the China Coast Guard and militia vessel also circled.

03:54 Until the second day of the BFAR aircraft's departure,

03:58 the two ships of the China Coast Guard are still inside the shoal and there is still a floating barrier on its surface.

04:04 The Chinese still have a lot of radio challenges.

04:07 The BFAR also issued a radio challenge that was answered by the Chinese.

04:11 Since yesterday, the BFAR vessel is here in the West Philippine Sea near Bajo de Masinlocos Carburosol.

04:18 Until now, we can see them down there with the Philippine fishermen.

04:24 They are continuously providing aid, such as food, water and crude oil to the Philippine fishermen.

04:31 They are being watched by the China Coast Guard and militia vessel.

04:35 The Philippine Coast Guard guessed the statement of China that the BFAR ship has left Bajo de Masinlocos.

04:41 The main objective of the Chinese government, why they are doing this kind of false narrative,

04:48 is they want to tell their own public audience that they are carrying out their own actions to prevent the Philippine government vessels in patrolling Bajo de Masinlocos.

04:59 They are lying.

05:05 Mel, in the last count of the Philippine Coast Guard and BFAR, the Philippine fishermen are in 20 motherboats.

05:12 They are continuously fishing around Bajo de Masinlocos.

05:15 And the good thing is, they were not left behind by the BFAR ship.

05:19 Back to you, Mel.

05:20 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
