00:00According to the Philippine Navy, 3,000 hectares of land has been reclaimed by China in the South China Sea.

00:07This includes the Subi or Zamora Reef, which is now a city with a lot of buildings.

00:14Marisol Abdurrahman has this report.

00:20In the past, it was just trash. But now, the number of buildings and runways are increasing.

00:26The Subi or Zamora Reef is just one of the four major bases of China in the South China Sea,

00:33including the 3,000 hectares of land that they have reclaimed.

00:37It is even bigger than the city of Manila.

00:39The Navy cannot say how much land has been reclaimed by China in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

00:46Is there a creeping invasion? Yes. And this has begun since 1992.

00:50Their presence there is illegal. It has already been ruled by the arbitral tribunal.

00:55The Philippine Navy is also monitoring the Chinese survey ship that somehow left the Mischief or Paniban Reef on July 27.

01:03It has sailed through areas within Sabina Shoal and the southern part of Sabina Shoal.

01:08We have informed the appropriate government agency about this.

01:11The presence in the area has also increased to find out if the people are the ones who are smuggling trash there.

01:17An unusual pileup of crushed corals.

01:20The Philippine government deployed a ship to monitor the activity there.

01:26Its presence is longer than the usual presence that we do.

01:31As of now, no illegal monitoring has been done by the Chinese research vessel,

01:36even though the zigzag pattern of the course is suspicious.

01:40When you see an innocent passage or freedom of navigation, continuous and expeditious,

01:46when you zigzag, you are doing something else.

01:49The Sun House is 20 nautical miles away from Skoda Shoal, where the monster ship of the China Coast Guard is located.

01:56What do we do? Challenge and challenge and challenge?

01:58Yes.

01:59Just that?

02:00Yes. And if it warrants the filing of a diplomatic protest by the appropriate agency, in this case DFA,

02:06there is a procedure to give them all the data that they need.

02:09We are not being chased until we are challenged?

02:13Yes.

02:14Why?

02:15Why? We don't want to escalate the situation.
