Mas malakas kumpara sa pangkaraniwan. Ganyan isinalarawan ang pambobomba ng tubig ng China dahilan para umano masira ang isa sa resupply ship ng Pilipinas at ikinasugat pa ng limang sakay nito. Ayon yan kay Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos na sakay mismo ng inatakeng barko.

00:00 Stronger than usual.
00:04 That's how the Chinese water bomb was designed
00:08 to destroy one of the Philippines' resupply ships
00:12 and injure five of its passengers.
00:15 According to Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos,
00:19 who was attacked by the ship himself,
00:22 from Puerto Princesa, Palawan,
00:25 it was discovered that Joseph Moro...
00:28 Joseph?
00:30 Well, AFP Western Commander Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos
00:35 witnessed the Chinese water cannon
00:38 on the Philippines' resupply ship yesterday.
00:42 He was on board on May 4
00:45 when the Chinese Coast Guard bombed two ships
00:49 and injured four.
00:51 Vice Admiral Carlos also suffered minor injuries to his arm.
00:55 When the Chinese Coast Guard bombed a ship
00:58 that was carrying a water cannon
01:01 on the Philippine's resupply ship on May 4,
01:04 it was sent to Ayungin Shoal
01:07 to supply the soldiers assigned to the BRP Sierra Madre.
01:11 But only a few miles from there,
01:14 the Chinese Coast Guard's ships were hit.
01:18 And later...
01:20 And later...
01:22 Two ships were bombed here.
01:28 The first was on May 4.
01:33 In the drone shot of the Philippine Coast Guard,
01:39 the water was seen hitting the ship.
01:42 It was really in the middle.
01:44 They were hitting our...
01:46 Before, it was just a small wave.
01:48 Now, it's really in the middle.
01:50 It's helping.
01:51 And this Chinese Coast Guard vessel is blocking us
01:54 so that we can't see what's happening behind.
01:57 With the force of the water,
01:59 you'd think that the first ship would sink on May 4,
02:01 but it still got away.
02:03 Inside the first ship on May 4,
02:09 the soldiers saw the water cannon hitting the ship's mirrors.
02:17 While it was still far away,
02:18 it was hit by the BRP ship.
02:20 Sir!
02:21 What's the damage, sir?
02:23 The windows are broken.
02:25 The windows are broken.
02:26 What else, sir?
02:27 You were hit inside?
02:28 The windows in front of the UM4 were broken.
02:36 All of that was witnessed by
02:38 AFP Western Command Commander Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos
02:42 who was inside the first ship on May 4.
02:46 The four UM4s were injured
02:49 because of the broken windows.
02:51 Vice Admiral Carlos also suffered a minor injury to his arm.
02:55 You must off your course immediately
02:58 or I will take further action
03:01 and you will be reprimanded for all the consequences.
03:05 Over.
03:06 Mike 201, this is 4407.
03:08 We are attending a wounded personnel
03:11 inflicted by your vessel. Over.
03:13 The medical team of the BRP ship
03:15 went down to treat the four injured personnel
03:18 of the Rory mission on the UM4.
03:20 But the rubber boat was still guarded
03:23 and a Chinese Coast Guard boat was launched.
03:25 Before this...
03:27 Sir, sir!
03:30 Let's go faster.
03:31 The Chinese Coast Guard made dangerous maneuvers
03:35 until the BRP ship and a Chinese Coast Guard ship were attached.
03:40 The Chinese Coast Guard boat went back and forth
03:43 and then went forward again.
03:44 We thought it would be a counterattack.
03:47 The fender marks were visible on the deck
03:51 even though there was no UP.
03:52 If the Coast Guard did not react
03:54 when the fender was placed on the side of the BRP deck,
03:57 the incident of the Chinese Coast Guard 21555
04:01 crashing on the BRP deck
04:04 might have been more serious.
04:06 The U.M. resupply ships were blocked.
04:10 We will go to Eungin Shoal.
04:11 The Philippine Coast Guard personnel
04:14 are really doing so much effort
04:18 to prevent the collision towards the vessel.
04:22 And the Chinese Coast Guard personnel
04:24 are just standing there and taking video.
04:27 So it means perhaps that it was deliberate on their part.
04:32 They don't really care whether there would be a collision.
04:35 But for the Philippine government,
04:37 we are preventing such collision.
04:39 The Philippine Coast Guard explained
04:41 that even though they want to protect the resupply vessels,
04:44 it is not possible due to the blocking
04:46 and dangerous maneuvers of China
04:48 that happened several times.
04:50 For every Coast Guard vessel,
04:52 our concept of operation is that
04:55 one Coast Guard will escort one UNAES AMAE.
04:59 And based on our experience for the past so many months already,
05:04 the concept of operation for the Chinese Coast Guard
05:08 is for them to separate the Philippine Coast Guard vessel
05:11 from the resupply boat.
05:13 The U.M. 4 did not continue to Eungin Shoal
05:17 but on May 1, it successfully entered Eungin Shoal.
05:21 The Philippine Navy's ship,
05:23 BRP Gregorio del Pilar, was escorted on May 4
05:26 and BRP Sindangan on the way back from Palawan.
05:29 On the way back from Palawan,
05:30 Carlos Anapinsala showed the U.M. 4.
05:32 It seems that this time, it is stronger than the previous water cannon.
05:37 So, they really targeted the...
05:40 What was their intention?
05:41 To stop us. To stop us from entering the shoal.
05:44 It's still illegal and irresponsible action.
05:47 Sir, there was no intention to sink?
05:49 So far, I did not notice any intention to sink.
05:52 Just to disable.
05:53 Because their target is the bridge and the smokestack
05:58 for our engine.
06:01 Like they did on the ML Kalayaan.
06:04 According to Vice Admiral Carlos Mel,
06:12 he is running out of resupply ships to be sent to our RORU missions
06:18 because the two, the first one on May 2 and ML Kalayaan,
06:20 was still damaged because it was destroyed by China.
06:23 Mel?
06:24 Thank you very much, Joseph Muno.
06:26 Thank you, Joseph Muno.
