00:00The people of the China Coast Guard sent some Philippine ships to the resupply mission on Monday in Ayungin Shoal.
00:07There were even soldiers who were injured in the incident.
00:13Patrick De Jesus has the details.
00:19Armed Forces of the Philippines confirmed that a Philippine Navy soldier
00:24was injured in the resupply mission in Ayungin Shoal
00:27due to the new harassment of the China Coast Guard.
00:30He was immediately evacuated to be given immediate medical treatment.
00:34The AFP warned the China Coast Guard to stop their aggressive actions
00:41so that tensions in the West Philippine Sea would not escalate.
00:44The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said that three ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy,
00:51China Coast Guard and the Chinese Maritime Militia
00:54were involved in a dangerous maneuver and there was an incident of bombing and towing.
01:00Despite the illegal and aggressive actions of China,
01:04the Philippine soldiers showed their professionalism so that tensions would not escalate.
01:10The NTF-WPS also condemned the new harassment of China
01:15that poses a threat to the lives of Filipinos there and violation of international law.
01:22Defense Secretary Gebote Odoro insisted that it should be clear to the international community
01:27that China is the real obstacle to the use of peace and order in the region.
01:33Meanwhile, in a state-owned Chinese newspaper,
01:36the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard said
01:39that they searched and inspected several Philippine ships
01:44when they entered the vicinity of Ayungin Shoal,
01:47which is also called the Rhenae Reef of China.
01:49In another statement of the Department of State of America,
01:53the Chinese ships also used water cannons.
01:56There are also reports that a chicken was cut off its finger and an armistice was made,
02:02but this was not confirmed by the AFP.
02:05For a security analyst that China wants to show its teeth,
02:10they implemented anti-trespassing laws in the South China Sea,
02:14as well as in their territories in the West Philippine Sea.
02:18There are also reports that Navy sailors were cut off their fingers.
02:25Of course, we see a very intense encounter with China.
02:33We saw that they are very aggressive in such a way that they are showing their teeth
02:39when it comes to their new law.
02:42If it reaches the point where even the BRP Sierra Madre
02:46is forced to drive and enter China,
02:49it may trigger a mutual defense treaty between the Philippines and the United States.
02:55Remember, the BRP Sierra Madre represents our territory.
02:59That's why our Marines and Navy are watching.
03:03If they board the BRP Sierra Madre,
03:07it means they want to occupy the territory of the Philippines.
03:11If they board the BRP Sierra Madre,
03:15it means they want to overthrow the government
03:19and at the same time, take the territory of the Philippines by boat.
03:25In the midst of this, Kabalsa believes that there are still many ways
03:30so that the situation does not end up in a war
03:33and the tensions can be resolved in a diplomatic way.
