02:49For GMA Integrated News,
02:51Oscar Oidang Inyong,
02:53Saksi!
02:55Some barangays in Agaba Natun City were flooded.
02:58Because of the heavy rain,
03:00this weekend,
03:015,000 residents were affected.
03:04Several residents were rescued using boats.
03:07At the same time,
03:08the schools in Malabon and Navotas were flooded
03:12because of the flood.
03:13The water level is still high,
03:15especially with high tide,
03:16and the damaged flood gate is still not fixed.
03:18Saksi! This is Mark Salazar.
03:24The beginning of the class in Navotas and Malabon,
03:28private or public,
03:30did not continue because of the flood.
03:34Aside from the heavy rain,
03:37high tide is expected.
03:40In Malabon,
03:41it is expected to reach 1.9 meters this morning.
03:45This level of high tide
03:47can flood up to 3 to 5 inches on the streets,
03:51which is why classes are suspended.
03:54In Navotas,
03:55the water level was gutter-deep until 2 p.m.,
03:59like in Barangay Tanza 1 and 2.
04:02According to the MMDA,
04:03high tide is not a problem
04:05if this floodgate works
04:08in the North Navotas Pumping Station.
04:10High tide is a big help here.
04:12When there is a high tide,
04:13that's when we will operate
04:15and close the gate
04:17to protect the Malabon Navotas area.
04:21Because the floodgate is only 80% operational
04:24in the past two years,
04:25a fishing vessel was found here,
04:28which is why it was completely destroyed.
04:30The dredging operation started earlier
04:33to remove the floodgate debris and garbage.
04:35The target is to finish the repair on August 16.
04:39This will not stop because it is being chased
04:41because it is very important
04:44for the flood control of Navotas and Malabon.
04:47However,
04:48it will not be able to catch up
04:50to the target on August 17
04:52that it will be operational
04:53because it is not a simple problem
04:55for them to destroy the destroyed floodgate.
04:58Continuous dredging.
04:59Now, they have a schedule
05:02for the repair activities
05:04that will be repaired properly.
05:06For now,
05:07only Malabon and Navotas students
05:09are not present
05:11for the opening of the class today.
05:13For GMA Integrated News,
05:15Mark Salazar, your witness.
05:20The fishermen in the Sandy Cay area
05:23near Pagasa Island
05:25in the West Philippine Sea are not nearby.
05:26More than 30 Chinese militia vessels
05:29are watching there
05:30along with a boat of the China Coast Guard.
05:32Witness, Rafi Tima.
05:39China's strict surveillance
05:41of the BIFAR vessel
05:42that is being transported by BRP Datu Pagbwaya
05:44along with the BIFAR PCG
05:46in sailing in Sabina or Escoda Shoal
05:48where BRP Tereza Magbanwa
05:50and China's monster ship are almost in line.
05:52PCG's gate.
05:53China has no reason
05:54to complain
05:55about the Philippine ships
05:56in Escoda Shoal
05:57which is part of our Exclusive Economic Zone.
06:00China Coast Guard first said
06:02that BRP Tereza Magbanwa
06:03illegally stranded in Escoda Shoal
06:05and it is against China's sovereignty.
06:07This is the Chinese monster ship
06:08of the China Coast Guard.
06:10This monster ship of China
06:12has been here for a long time
06:13and is being watched.
06:14Not only our ships
06:16but also the fishermen
06:17who get their livelihood
06:18here in Sabina Shoal.
06:20China's rubber boats have also been watched
06:22while BRP Tereza Magbanwa
06:23is giving the BIFAR PCG
06:24to the fishermen in Escoda.
06:26China Coast Guard's radio challenge
06:27is repeated.
06:28There is no law enforcement
06:31in the sea area
06:32under the jurisdiction
06:34of the People's Republic of China.
06:36Please inform us
06:37the purpose of your visit
06:39to this sea area.
06:41Over.
06:42Some fishermen
06:43were not able to sail
06:44for three months
06:45because of China's restrictions.
06:46So they hope
06:47that the PCG will not leave Escoda.
06:49There are news
06:50that the fishermen
06:51in the West Philippine Sea
06:52will be arrested.
06:53That's why
06:54we are afraid
06:55even if it's difficult.
06:56We really tried
06:57not to be arrested
06:58but we were not able to sail.
06:59But in Asa Island,
07:00some fishermen
07:01were not able to reach
07:02San Dike.
07:03There are 30 Chinese militia vessels
07:05and a CCG vessel
07:06stationed here
07:07and they are not leaving.
07:09They are being chased
07:10by those who are approaching.
07:20This is the San Dike area
07:22near Pag-asa.
07:23This is where
07:24a lot of Chinese militia
07:25are being guarded
07:26by this place
07:27because there are
07:28a lot of fish here.
07:29Before,
07:30the Filipinos
07:31fish here.
07:32But now,
07:33they are prohibited
07:34from fishing
07:35and being guarded
07:36by these Chinese militia.
07:37In the Manila Port area,
07:38the Vietnamese Coast Guard Vessel
07:39CSB 8002
07:40is stationed
07:41for a port visit.
07:42As a part of
07:43the two countries' agreement
07:44for cooperation
07:45in maritime security.
07:47This will promote
07:48and enhance
07:49the efficiency
07:50of information sharing
07:51and the coordination
07:52in maritime law enforcement
07:53in accordance
07:54with international law.
07:56Although Vietnam
07:57has recognized
07:58almost all the islands
07:59in the Kalayaan Island group
08:00according to the PCG,
08:01the theft of territory
08:02in the mission
08:03of the Coast Guard
08:04is not the salvation
08:05of the Filipinos.
08:06We will let them fish.
08:07But it will not prevent us
08:08also from activities
08:09like this
08:10where we think
08:11we can help
08:12to build
08:13the relationship.
08:14The visit of Vietnam
08:15to Sigalot
08:16in the West Philippine Sea
08:17has nothing to do
08:18with
08:19the GMA Integrated News.
08:20Your Rafi Pima,
08:21Saksi.
