Pag-iikot ng BFAR at PCG sa Sabina Shoal at Pagasa, binantayan ng China Coast Guard

3 months ago

Dahil pa rin sa mga tauhan ng China kung kaya halos hindi makapalaot ang mga mangingisdang Pilipino sa West Philippine Sea. Maging mga tauhan ng BFAR at PCG, hindi nakaligtas sa pagtaboy ng China Coast Guard.

00:00Still because of the people of China,

00:02that's why the Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea are almost unable to sail.

00:06Even the people of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Philippine Coast Guard

00:12are unable to save themselves from the Chinese Coast Guard.

00:15Rapping is played live by Raffy Diva.

00:23We are live here in the ship of BFAR,

00:27here in Eroko Reef, in the southern portion, or in the eastern part of Reed Bank or Recto Bank.

00:32It is 269 kilometers away from Palawan,

00:35inside the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.

00:39If you can see behind me,

00:41these are the lights of the Chinese ships of the Chinese militia.

00:45These ships will not be able to leave here

00:48and will not be able to sail easily, according to the Philippine Coast Guard.

00:51This patrol and patrol of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of BFAR

00:55together with the Philippine Coast Guard here in the West Philippine Sea

00:58is what they are doing alongside the police of China

01:01that they can arrest the foreigners entering their so-called territory,

01:05which is also being controlled by the Philippines.

01:12The Chinese Coast Guard has not made any obstructions

01:15to the movement of our ship of BFAR, the BRP Datu Pagbwaya.

01:20One of BFAR and PCG's patrols is the Escoda or Sabina Shoal.

01:24This is the usual route when there is a resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.

01:29This is the monster ship of the Chinese Coast Guard.

01:32It is three times bigger than the largest coast guard ship in America

01:36and five times bigger than our largest coast guard ship,

01:40the Teresa Magbanoa, which is being monitored here in Sabina Shoal.

01:44This monster ship of China has been here for a long time

01:47and is being monitored not only by our ships

01:50but also by the fishermen who are getting their livelihood here in Sabina Shoal.

01:55In Sabina Shoal, BFAR and PCG are being given a crudo

01:58while the small rubber boats of the Chinese Coast Guard are being closely monitored.

02:02At one point, the inflatable boats of PCG and CCG face each other

02:06while the Filipino fishermen are refueling their gasoline.

02:09The CCG's radio challenge is repeated, but BFAR noticed this.

02:14Paying all law enforcement patrols in the sea area

02:18under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China.

02:22Please inform us the purpose of your visit to this sea area. Over.

02:27Because of China's strictness, according to the captain of the Filipino fishing boat

02:31who refused to show his face, they have not been able to sail for three months.

02:34There are news that the fishermen in the West Philippine Sea will be arrested.

02:40Were you afraid?

02:41Yes, we were afraid.

02:43Even if it's difficult, we tried our best not to be arrested.

02:49We did not go to jail.

02:51They hope that the Philippine Coast Guard will not leave and continue to monitor them

02:55so that they can live a peaceful life.

02:57But the situation of the fishermen in Pagasa Island is different.

03:01They can no longer get close to San Dike, which is very close to Pagasa Island.

03:05This is the San Dike area, near Pagasa.

03:08This is where a lot of Chinese militia patrol this area.

03:12Because there are a lot of fishermen here.

03:14In the past, the Filipinos fished here.

03:16But now, they are prohibited and monitored.

03:19These are the Chinese militia.

03:27More than 30 Chinese militia boats and a China Coast Guard

03:31are stationed here and are not leaving.

03:33All those who approach them are immediately chased away.

03:36During the patrol of the Bifarc PCG in the area,

03:38we were chased away and forced to leave by a rubber boat of the China Coast Guard.

03:52According to the spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard about the West Philippine Sea,

03:55their aim and missions are to help the Filipinos fishermen

03:59who are affected by the rich ocean inside our territorial waters.

04:03As for the arrest of China, nothing has happened yet.

04:07On the part of the Philippine government,

04:09we are still asserting our position in these waters.

04:12We have not reported or reported to our fishermen

04:17that they were involved in this kind of harassment by the Chinese Coast Guard.

04:22This is the case of the West Philippine Sea.

04:29In the past, we have also circled the Su-Bi Reef,

04:32the man-made island of China, which is only 26km away from the Pagasa Island.

04:37Although the Philippines has been occupied by the Pagasa for many decades,

04:40we can clearly see the difference compared to the artificial island of China

04:44which was only built in 2013.

04:46With a lot of houses, radar and other structures,

04:49this is one of the large military installations

04:51thousands of kilometers away from mainland China.

04:55On this side, Emil, according to the PCG,

04:57the morale of the Philippine troops guarding this place is high.

05:00That's the latest from the Iroquois Reef here in the West Philippine Sea.

05:04Emil?

05:05Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
