00:00 Meanwhile, more than 30 ships of China

00:02 crossed the Manatag Shoal

00:04 before the delivery of supplies there by a civilian group.

00:08 Their mission was assured by the Philippine Coast Guard

00:11 that they will be safe.

00:12 Joseph Moro was there.

00:14 The Philippines are now preparing to supply gasoline and supplies

00:20 to the fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc

00:22 or Manatag Shoal of our group.

00:25 The boyars will also be there to show that

00:29 the Philippines is an exclusive economic zone or EEZ.

00:32 That's on Wednesday, but for now,

00:35 six ships of the China Coast Guard

00:39 and about 30 Chinese maritime militia vessels were spotted there

00:42 according to satellite images

00:44 found by the group of maritime experts, Ray Powell.

00:47 It's likely that

00:49 there are many ships being blocked by China in the Iung-in Shoal

00:52 when there's a resupply mission there.

00:54 But our group is not afraid.

00:58 The Chinese presence in Manatag is a sign

01:01 that civilians need to be used as targets

01:05 in the militarization of China.

01:07 The government explained that this has nothing to do with the walk

01:10 of our group in Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal.

01:14 However, the Philippine Coast Guard assured

01:17 that the mission will be safe.

01:19 As Filipinos, if they want to sail here,

01:21 that's their right.

01:23 Again, in the Coast Guard,

01:26 we just have to ensure that they are safe.

01:28 I hope China will just ignore

01:30 this kind of nature

01:33 of this civilian mission.

01:36 And I hope they won't do

01:39 whatever they're planning.

01:41 More than 40 Chinese ships were spotted

01:45 in Sabina Shoal since April 16,

01:47 including six Chinese navy ships

01:50 and four Chinese coast guard ships.

01:52 Sabina or Skoda Shoal is located

01:54 in the northern coast of the Philippines.

01:56 It is located in the middle of the Palawan mainland

01:58 and is also part of the Philippines' Aegean Sea.

02:00 Chinese researchers also noticed

02:03 that they were measuring.

02:05 The corals that were found there

02:08 were used to make artificial islands.

02:12 The same was done in the Panganiban Reef in 1995.

02:16 The Philippine Coast Guard is still investigating

02:18 how it was found.

02:20 But in an academic journal of Chinese scientists,

02:22 the use of dead corals

02:24 in artificial islands in Spratlys was also mentioned.

02:27 The characteristic of the poros

02:30 that they showed in their academic journal

02:33 is similar with what we saw

02:37 in San Dikes and also in Skoda Shoal.

02:41 It means that they have a type,

02:44 they have a hollow tube

02:46 that they put underneath there.

02:48 And from there, they use that to throw the crashed corals.

02:55 But a month ago,

02:57 the Philippine Coast Guard's largest ship,

02:59 BRP Teresa Magbanwa,

03:01 was not formed in the area.

03:03 We are still asking for confirmation from China

03:06 if they are the ones who are collecting

03:08 the dead corals in the area,

03:09 but for the Philippine Coast Guard.

03:11 The Chinese government was prevented

03:13 in continuing this small-scale reclamation.

03:16 It is important to the Philippine Coast Guard

03:18 and the AFB Western Command

03:20 before pushing the shoal for resupply.

03:23 If the Chinese will be very successful

03:27 in carrying out this kind of reclamation

03:30 and then converting this once again

03:32 to another naval base or something,

03:35 it will be very difficult for the armed forces

03:38 of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard

03:40 to do the resupply mission.

03:42 The government is trying to increase the number of places

03:45 occupied by the Philippines.

03:47 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

03:49 for Tutok 24 Horas.
