00:00 Despite the new water and flood protection of the China Coast Guard in the Philippine ships,

00:06 there is still no time to use the Mutual Defense Treaty of the Philippines and America,

00:10 according to President Bongbong Marcos.

00:13 We have the first news from Ian Cruz and Joseph Morong.

00:16 At first, there was only one.

00:21 But later, there were two ships of the China Coast Guard

00:24 that were already flooding the water on May 4.

00:27 They were heading to Union Shoal to bring supplies to the soldiers assigned to BRP Sierra Madre.

00:33 It's really in the middle.

00:34 It's hitting our...

00:35 Before, it was just a small wave.

00:36 Now, it's not anymore.

00:37 It's really in the middle.

00:39 It's helping.

00:40 And this one China Coast Guard vessel is blocking us so that we can't see what's happening behind.

00:46 The water cannon was so strong that even though the ship was not submerged,

00:49 it was able to break the glass.

00:55 While it was moving away, it was already hit by the BRP ship.

00:58 Sir!

00:59 What's the damage, sir?

01:01 The windows are broken.

01:02 The windows are broken.

01:03 What else, sir?

01:04 You were hit inside?

01:06 The windows in front of the U.N.F.O. were broken.

01:09 The first one to board on May 4 was AFP Western Command Commander Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos.

01:15 He was hit by a small wound on his hand.

01:18 The four U.N.F.O. soldiers were also injured because of the broken glass.

01:22 You must off your curfew.

01:23 Leave immediately or I will take further action.

01:27 And you will be reprimanded for all the consequences.

01:31 Over.

01:32 Mike 201, this is 4407.

01:35 We are attending a wounded personnel inflicted by your vessel.

01:39 Over.

01:40 The medical team of the BRP ship went down to treat the four injured people of the Rory Mission in the U.N.F.O.

01:47 But the rubber boat was still guarded and the Chinese Coast Guard ship was still left.

01:52 Before this...

01:53 Sir, sir, let's go faster.

01:58 The Chinese Coast Guard did dangerous maneuvers several times until the BRP ship and a Chinese Coast Guard ship were connected.

02:07 The Chinese ship went back and then went forward again.

02:10 We thought it would go down again.

02:13 The fender marks were visible on the ship even though it didn't have a U.P.

02:19 If the Coast Guard didn't act quickly when placing the fender here beside the BRP ship,

02:24 the incident of the Chinese Coast Guard 21555 here at the BRP ship might have been more serious

02:32 because of the U.M.F.O.'s obstruction.

02:34 Our resupply ships are going to Yungin Shoal.

02:37 The Philippine Coast Guard personnel are really doing so much effort to prevent the collision towards the vessel.

02:48 And the Chinese Coast Guard personnel are just standing there and taking video.

02:53 So it means perhaps that it was deliberate on their part.

02:58 They don't really care whether there would be a collision.

03:01 But for the Philippine government, we are preventing such collision.

03:05 According to Vice Admiral Carlos, the Philippines is running out of ships to use for BRP Sierra Madre resupply missions.

03:12 This time, it seems that the BRP is stronger than the previous water cannon.

03:17 So they really targeted the...

03:19 What's the intention, sir?

03:20 To stop us. To stop us from entering the shoal.

03:23 It's still illegal and irresponsible actions.

03:26 Sir, there's no intention to sink?

03:27 I didn't notice any intention to sink. Just to disable.

03:31 Because their target is the bridge and the smokestack.

03:36 So that our engine...

03:39 Like they did at the MLA Kalayaan.

03:43 Defense Secretary Gilberto Deodoro called what China did illegal and uncivilized.

03:49 He said that it should be said as true.

03:51 There's no contradiction with what China is saying that their actions are professional, reasonable and in accordance with the law.

03:57 Despite this, the Chinese Foreign Ministry is still envious of the Philippines for its commitment

04:02 through the entry and evacuation of the chaos in the Ayungin River.

04:07 According to the GFA, the Philippines is not entering China in accordance with the agreement.

04:12 The Philippines has not entered into any agreement.

04:16 Abandoning its sovereign rights.

04:18 China has a lot of narratives and we really have to be very careful.

04:22 According to the US State Department,

04:24 America will help if there will be armed attacks on ships, airplanes and people of the AFP and Coast Guard of the Philippines

04:30 in accordance with the Mutual Defense Treaty.

04:33 But they cannot answer if the MDT is carrying out the water cannon attacks of China.

04:38 Does this constitute armed attacks?

04:41 I'm not going to speculate or get ahead of any discussions in this regard.

04:49 President Bongbong Marcos was also asked in Melbourne, Australia

04:53 if the new incident in Ayungin could be the reason for using the Mutual Defense Treaty.

04:59 I do not think that it is the time or the reason to invoke the Mutual Defense Treaty.

05:07 However, we continue to view with great alarm this continuing dangerous maneuvers

05:14 and dangerous actions that are being done against our seamen, our Coast Guard.

05:21 And this time they damaged the cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen.

05:34 And I think that we cannot view this in any way but in the most serious way.

05:42 But President Bongbong Marcos insisted that the Philippines will protest.

05:47 He also mentioned the introduction of some Chinese research vessel in the Philippine Rays or Benham Rays.

05:54 This is a clear intrusion into Philippine maritime territory.

05:58 And this is a matter, as usual, of great concern.

06:04 There is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels.

06:07 So again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippine Sea.

06:18 On the last day of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne,

06:22 Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that Australia is ready to help ASEAN.

06:28 Our understanding that more than any other part of the world, Southeast Asia is where Australia's destiny lies.

06:37 This is why we will continue to support your ASEAN outlook on the Indo-Pacific

06:43 and ensure the stability and peace of our region.

06:46 Marcos also thanked Australia for its ongoing support of the rule of law, UNCLOS,

06:52 and the 2016 Arbitral Award in favor of the Philippines.

06:56 The President also mentioned the climate change that is affecting poor countries, including the Philippines.

07:04 The President insisted that there should be a strong action in the domestic and international fora to achieve climate justice.

07:14 In the joint statement of ASEAN and Australia, they said that they want a region where sovereignty and integrity of the territory are respected.

07:24 They will strive for a region where differences are resolved through a respectful discussion and not through violence or force.

07:36 This is the first news, Ian Cruz.

07:39 Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
