00:00 The effects of repeated jamming of the automated identification system in Philippine ships are not small.
00:09 Whenever this operation will be carried out in the West Philippine Sea,
00:13 Philippine Coast Guard will continue to monitor the situation while Philippine Navy
00:18 has secured their communication transmission.
00:22 This is the story of Patrick De Jesus.
00:26 Aside from the obstructions and dangerous maneuvering,
00:31 China has a new strategic move in the West Philippine Sea.
00:36 Philippine Coast Guard said that after three rotational deployments in Baudemars-en-Locke this month,
00:42 there are chances that the automated identification system or AIS of Philippine ships will be jammed.
00:50 The ship of PCG BRP Teresa Magbanwa was patrolled here on February 1.
00:57 It was followed by the ships of BIFAR, BRP Datu Tamblot and BRP Datu Sanday,
01:03 which are part of the aid of crude oil and groceries to the Philippine fishermen.
01:07 The AIS is a tracking system to track the location of a ship.
01:14 We cannot be able to monitor their AIS movement.
01:18 Whenever we call them to radio and other communication capability that they have
01:25 to confirm if their AIS is on, they would say that it is on and unfortunately, we were not able to monitor them.
01:33 One thing that PCG noticed is that this happens whenever the Chinese agreement is issued
01:39 that they will be able to track the Philippine ships.
01:42 Almost same hour, China will declare that they were successful in driving us away.
01:49 They are jamming our AIS signal so that any other commercially capable will not be able to monitor the AIS.
02:00 It coincides with their narrative that they were able to remove the Philippine Coast Guard
02:06 or the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
02:09 PCG thinks that China is doing this to support the misinformation that they are spreading.
02:17 This has no effect on the Philippine ships' operation whenever they are in the WPS
02:22 because they are doing other things to monitor the activity of our ships.
02:28 It's not that significant.
02:29 As I said, we have different ways for us to monitor our Coast Guard vessel and BIFAR vessel.
02:36 One of which is of course our direct communication to them.
02:40 Even if they cannot transmit their own AIS signal, we can still check on them through radio and other means of communication
02:49 to ensure that they are safe and well monitored.
02:52 The Philippine Navy said that they are experiencing electronics and communication interference in the West Philippine Sea
03:00 especially whenever they are preparing to carry out a resupply mission.
03:05 Although the Navy did not specify which country is doing this, it has been happening for three to four years.
03:12 The Philippine Navy said that the effects of the communications and electronics interference
03:21 are small and that's why it does not affect their operations, particularly in the West Philippine Sea.
03:28 The effects are minimal because the interference of the electronic equipment do not reach the stage that they will interfere with the navigation.
03:40 These are more on the communications, radio transmissions, on land cell phones.
03:46 But on the overall impact of the operation, they do not really cause a significant impact.
03:53 The Navy said that there are protocols laid out to ensure that their communications and transmissions are secured
04:01 despite the interference.
