00:01At 3.30am, the Philippine Coast Guard and BRP Bagacay

00:05and the China Coast Guard Vessel 21551

00:08docked at Escoda Shoal.

00:10The China Coast Guard posted the video

00:12on the social messaging app.

00:14The PCG said that the Chinese vessel

00:16docked the BRP Bagacay twice.

00:18The China Coast Guard 3104

00:21docked another PCG ship,

00:23the BRP Cape Engaño.

00:25It left a deep U-P and a hole in the two ships.

00:29The wreckage can also be seen inside the ship.

00:32We can fairly say that this is the biggest damage,

00:37structural damage that we have incurred

00:39as a result of the dangerous maneuver

00:42carried out by the Chinese Coast Guard

00:44which resulted to collision.

00:46But the China Coast Guard posted a different video.

00:49They said that in their post,

00:50the Philippines is the target

00:52to dock the China Coast Guard ship.

00:54They also said that the PCG ship

00:56suddenly turned around

00:58and docked their ship.

01:00But according to the National Task Force

01:02on the West Philippine Sea,

01:03the spliced and edited video

01:04from China is just a copy.

01:07It's a misleading video.

01:09It again shows China

01:11as the benevolent actor here.

01:14Allegedly, they were conducting

01:16a law enforcement operation

01:17controlling the movement of the two ships

01:21when in fact, it was not 4410

01:26who ramped 21551.

01:28It was the other way around.

01:3021551, in truth,

01:33ramped our vessel, BRP Bagagay,

01:36two times.

01:37According to PCG,

01:38the China Coast Guard,

01:3921551,

01:40docked several times

01:42with BRP Cabra

01:44in Ayungin Shoals,

01:45in September of last year.

01:46This is also the one

01:47chasing the B-4 vessel

01:49that sailed less than a month ago.

01:52BRP Bagagay and BRP Cape Engano

01:54are part of the Rotation and Reprovision Mission

01:57in Patag and Lawak Islands

01:58in the West Philippine Sea.

02:00And even if it's damaged,

02:01it will continue its mission.

02:04Maybe they're thinking

02:05that these 44-meter vessels

02:08will be reinforcing

02:11the presence of Teresa Magbuan.

02:13Before the incident,

02:14China has already notified

02:16the remaining BRP Teresa Magbuan

02:18in the Escoda Shoals

02:20because it will enter

02:22their sovereignty.

02:24China has already visited

02:26diplomatic channels

02:27to stop the Philippines

02:28from entering

02:30and letting the vessels leave.

02:32But again,

02:33PCG spokesperson

02:35for the West Philippine Sea,

02:36Commodore J. Tariella,

02:38said that the Escoda Shoals

02:39are in the Exclusive Economic Zone

02:40of the Philippines

02:41so the vessels of PCG

02:42have the right

02:44to remain there

02:45for as long as they want.

02:47And they don't need

02:48permission from other countries.

02:50According to

02:51retired Supreme Court

02:52Senior Associate Justice

02:53Antonio Carpio,

02:54the destruction of the ships

02:55of our Coast Guard

02:56is a sufficient basis

02:58to complain

02:59under the United Nations Convention

03:01on the Laws of the Sea.

03:02The best thing since

03:04the Coast Guard is a civilian vessel.

03:10This is now governed by UNCLOS.

03:13It's unlike Union Shoals

03:15which is a military activity.

03:17This is a civilian activity.

03:18We can go to UNCLOS

03:20and sue China

03:22for damages

03:24and the tribunal

03:26will reaffirm

03:27that that is part of the EEZ.

03:29And that will again

03:30debunk China's 10-dash line.

03:33In a statement,

03:34U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines

03:36Mary Kay Carlson

03:37condemned the dangerous maneuvers

03:39of the China Coast Guard

03:40which put the lives of the crew

03:42in danger

03:43and destroyed

03:44two ships of PCG.

03:46The U.S. supports

03:48the right of friends,

03:50relatives and allies

03:51under the International Law.
