00:00GMA Integrated News witnessed the patrol of PCG and BIFAR in some parts of the West Philippine Sea.
00:12In Subi or Zamora Reef, a flare was fired when a Philippine airplane passed by.
00:18Joseph Moro witnessed it.
00:20In the maritime patrol of the Philippine Coast Guard and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BIFAR in Ayungin, Chul,
00:30almost no one is guarding the forces of China in the BRP Sierra Madre.
00:35The situation there is calm.
00:41It was far from what happened on June 17 where the Philippine forces reached the China Coast Guard.
00:47But in its northernmost part in Pagasa Island, which is surrounded by the municipality of Palawan,
00:53the Chinese maritime militia vessels are firing at the island.
00:58Some of them are still there and almost no one is leaving.
01:01Subi Reef or Zamora Reef is only a few minutes away from Pagasa Island.
01:07It was occupied by China in 1988.
01:10It is still far.
01:11There is a big facility there.
01:13It looks like we are getting closer to a city.
01:15It also has a long runway.
01:17You would think that there is no one there until we get closer.
01:20A flare was fired from a house.
01:29In the southernmost part of Panata Island, you can see the Panganiban or Mischief Reef.
01:34If there is a mirror of how strong the force of China is in the territories of the West Philippine Sea, this is it.
01:41In 1995, China first occupied the area to build a fisherman's shelter.
01:47But now, there are condominium units there.
01:51Military equipment such as radars and a long runway.
01:55There are also countless militia vessels there.
01:58We are here in front of Mischief Reef.
02:01This is the military base of China.
02:04This is where they take off when they send their ships that they are blocking.
02:09For example, in our Aries Supply Mission in Yongin.
02:13As you can see, the Chinese maritime militia vessels are lined up there.
02:19They are just standing by.
02:21If they need to be blocked, they will be stationed here.
02:24For so many occasions, the government of China denied that they will build a military base here.
02:30In Escoda Shoal, BRP Teresa Magbanwa is watching closely.
02:34She went there after it was reported that China is making a complaint.
02:38The situation there is like both a warning and a disaster.
02:42We don't want to give an opportunity for China to do this kind of activities again within our own exclusive economic zone.
02:49For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your eyewitness.
02:53According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
02:56two Philippine airplanes trespassed into Zamora Reef's airspace, which they called Zhu Bixiao.
03:05According to the law, they did countermeasures.
03:10Kapuso, let's be eyewitnesses together.
