00:00Not only did they build a big house and a long runway,

00:04they also built a military base in China, the Mischief Reef, in the West Philippine Sea.

00:10Jimmy Integrated News saw that together with the B-Far airplane

00:14that was making a maritime patrol, but was fired by China's flare.

00:19Joseph Moro was on the scene.

00:21In the maritime patrol of the Philippine Coast Guard at the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in B-Far in Ayungin, Chul,

00:31almost no one was guarding the forces of China in the BRP Sierra Madre.

00:36The situation there was calm.

00:38It was far from what happened on June 17, when the Philippine forces reached the China Coast Guard.

00:48But in its northernmost part, in Pagasa Island,

00:52which is surrounded by the municipality of Palawan,

00:54the Chinese maritime militia vessels were firing at the island's coast.

00:59Some of them were still there and almost no one left.

01:02The Subi Reef, or what we call the Samora Reef, is only a few minutes away from Pagasa.

01:08It was occupied by China in 1988.

01:11It's a far-sighted and big facility there.

01:14It's like we're getting closer to a city.

01:16It also has a long runway.

01:18You'd think there were no people there until we got closer.

01:21There were flares coming from a house.

01:30In the southernmost part of Panata Island, you can see the Panganiban or Mischief Reef.

01:36If there's a mirror of how strong China's forces are in the territories of the West Philippine Sea,

01:42this is it.

01:43In 1995, China first occupied the area to build a fisherman's shelter.

01:48But now, condominium units are growing there.

01:53Military equipment like radars and long runways.

01:56There are also countless militia vessels there.

02:00We're here in front of the Mischief Reef.

02:02This is where China's military base is being built.

02:05This is where they take off when they send boats that they block.

02:11This is where they take off when they send boats that they block.

02:15As you can see, the Chinese maritime militia vessels are lined up in a row.

02:21They're just standing by.

02:22If they need to block, they'll be here.

02:26For so many occasions, China's government denied that they're building a military base here.

02:31In Escoda Shoal, BRP Teresa Magbanwa is watching closely.

02:35She went there after hearing that China is making a complaint.

02:39The situation there is like both a warning and a disaster.

02:43We don't want to give an opportunity for China to do this kind of activities again

02:48within our own exclusive economic zone.

02:50China is still panicking.

02:53For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

02:56Nakatutok 24 Horas.
