00:00A new type of harrassment in the West Philippine Sea.

00:03China Coast Guard vessels have repeatedly washed and flooded the boat of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

00:10which is a BRP datusandai of the Escoda Shoal.

00:13Because of the harassment that happened inside the exclusive economic zone of our country,

00:18the assistance to the fishermen of Pinoy Roon has been cancelled.

00:22Breaking news, Ian Cruz.

00:25Wow!

00:28It's so tight!

00:31Stop it!

00:34Wow!

00:36What are you doing?

00:38Stop it!

00:39That's it.

00:40Our boat was hit again.

00:43China Coast Guard vessels 21555 and 21551 have repeatedly washed and flooded our BRP datusandai.

00:54of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

00:56Chinese militia vessels can also be seen around.

01:00Until...

01:014-1-0-3, kapuso.

01:03Let's go inside for a while.

01:12China Coast Guard 21555 and 226 have repeatedly washed and flooded our boat.

01:23It happened 7 nautical miles near the Escoda Shoal,

01:27where the BRP Teresa Magbanoa of the Philippine Coast Guard is located.

01:35The washed-up Coast Guard ship hit the port side of the BRP datusandai.

01:39Meanwhile, the BRP datusandai is retreating for the safety of its passengers.

01:44But only for a few moments.

01:49Kapuso, we thought it was over.

01:51That's the China Coast Guard 4-1-0-2.

01:55It also flooded our boat.

01:59China Coast Guard's boat was hit by a water cannon.

02:02We were forced to go inside the boat.

02:04At this point, all of our boats are surrounded.

02:08Their boats repeatedly bombed us.

02:11Even though we were inside the boat, we felt a strong flood.

02:17At the same time of the bombing, the Coast Guard Vessel 21555

02:20hit our front and hit the bow of our boat.

02:25They are destroying our equipment.

02:27It's strong.

02:39We were hit by a water cannon on the left.

02:41Then, someone is blocking us.

02:43There, it hit again.

02:47Five.

02:48That's five.

02:50The China Coast Guard.

02:54There.

02:57The water cannon is strong.

03:06At one point, the China Coast Guard

03:09is destroying our navigation equipment from above.

03:17We were really hit by the rain.

03:24It's strong.

03:25They are destroying our hull.

03:28Did they hit us?

03:29They are destroying our navigation equipment.

03:36We don't know how long we can stay alive

03:41if we don't have navigation equipment.

03:44Almost all of the CCGs or China Coast Guard Vessels

03:48are equipped with water cannons.

03:52It's moving.

03:53It might break.

03:56We are now inside the bridge.

04:01We are here for a while because

04:04almost all of the China Coast Guard Vessels

04:07are equipped with water cannons.

04:14Some of them are really closing in on us.

04:16We are being hit again.

04:18As for me, I won't lower it to five.

04:21If we lose this life,

04:26we might lose our navigation aids here.

04:31The China Coast Guard said

04:33that they are enforcing unilateral control measures

04:35after the illegal entry of a Philippine ship

04:39called the Escoda Shoal,

04:41which is called Sian Bin Reef in China.

04:43The China Coast Guard also said

04:44that a Philippine ship fell into the sea

04:46while warning the Philippines

04:48to stop their unilateral infringement.

04:50But the China Coast Guard denied it.

04:53Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:58Aside from the BFAR,

04:59the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea

05:01also denied what the China Coast Guard said

05:03about the BRP Datu Sandai near the Escoda Shoal.

05:06The information of the CCG that

05:08a Filipino fell from the BRP Datu Sandai

05:13was also denied.

05:15The NTF-WPS also denied

05:17the unprofessional, aggressive, and illegal action

05:21of China that is dangerous for the Filipinos.

05:24In an ex-Twitter post,

05:26US Ambassador to the Philippines Mary Kay Carlson

05:28denied China's interference

05:30in the legal humanitarian mission of the Philippines.

05:32The United States continues to support the Philippines.

05:36Disturbing!

05:37Or it's a matter of concern

05:38for European Union Ambassador Luke Vernon

05:41about the incident at the Escoda Shoal.

05:43He also gave importance to the compliance

05:45with international law,

05:47including the United Nations Convention

05:49on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS,

05:51in the South China Sea.

05:53Let's update on the situation

05:55of the BRP Datu Sandai that was hijacked

05:57and flooded by China this weekend

05:59live from the West Philippine Sea.

06:01Ian Cruz is live on the spot.

06:03Ian, how are you there?

06:06Yes, Rafi, in a few moments,

06:08we will continue to broadcast

06:10the BRP Datu Sandai

06:12that we are driving here

06:14in the West Philippine Sea.

06:16In particular,

06:18it is near the mainland, Palawan.

06:20Rafi, yesterday,

06:22the China Coast Guard

06:24and their militia vessel

06:26hit us six times

06:28and their intense bombing

06:30lasted more than 30 minutes.

06:32Rafi, what is good is

06:34that all of the crew

06:36of this B-PAR ship

06:38and the embedded media

06:40are safe.

06:42The first thing that hit us,

06:44Rafi,

06:46was the China Coast Guard

06:48Vessel 21551

06:50that also hit

06:52and passed through

06:54last Monday

06:56in the BRP Bagacay

06:58of the West Philippine Sea.

07:01The BRP Bagacay

07:03of the Philippine Coast Guard

07:05also hit us four times

07:07with their Vessel 21555

07:09together with the China Coast Guard

07:113104 that also hit

07:13the BRP Cape and Ganyo

07:15last Monday.

07:17For those who are asking,

07:19Rafi, what is the situation

07:21of this BRP Datu Sandai

07:23after six times of bombing

07:25and more than 30 minutes

07:27of almost no impact

07:29on the communication equipment

07:31of our ship that they placed

07:33on the hull of the ship

07:35so that their water cannon is strong.

07:37In the provision area,

07:39there is also a window

07:41but it was also fixed.

07:43But outside, Rafi,

07:45you can see the large U.P.

07:47This is the most visible

07:49because of the strong bombing

07:51of this China Coast Guard

07:5321555.

07:55The portion inside the B-PAR

07:57also has a hole

07:59and on the railings,

08:01there is also a hole.

08:03On the starboard,

08:05right in front of the ship,

08:07there is a crack

08:09because of the bombing

08:11of the 21555 Vessel

08:13of the China Coast Guard.

08:15The Tambucho also has

08:17U.P.

08:19The air conditioning units

08:21are also not working

08:23because of the strong

08:25bombing of the China Coast Guard.

08:27Rafi, in these moments,

08:29some of the fishermen

08:31who are fishing here

08:33in the West Philippine Sea

08:35actually, we talked to them

08:37for a while. Some of them

08:39came from a few days ago

08:41in Escoda Shoal

08:43and they were escorted

08:45by the China Coast Guard.

08:47That's why now,

08:49they are being given a crew

08:51by the B-PAR

08:53because

08:55they are really having a hard time

08:57in their operation

08:59here in fishing

09:01because they are moving places

09:03and that is the reason

09:05for the higher cost of their fishing.

09:07Yesterday, before we were escorted

09:09and bombed by the China Coast Guard,

09:11the fishermen

09:13who are also from Batangas

09:15were also escorted

09:17by the BRP Datu Sandai.

09:19They were given

09:2120,000 liters of diesel

09:23because, Rafi, they also told us

09:25that they were also escorted

09:27by the China Coast Guard

09:29that night before we arrived there.

09:31They were escorted

09:33to Escoda Shoal

09:35and they were told that

09:37that's the territory of China.

09:39Rafi, that's the latest from the West Philippine Sea.

09:41Ian, the stark contrast

09:43is really big.

09:45Three weeks ago, I was also there

09:47but we were allowed to go there

09:49because the fishermen are inside Escoda Shoal

09:51and that's where Crudo lives.

09:53So, it's a big change

09:55that you are not allowed to go in

09:57and the fishermen are being asked to leave.

09:59What's the news? What has changed?

10:01Why are the Philippine vessels

10:03being stopped from entering Escoda Shoal?

10:05Ian?

10:09Well, Rafi, one of the game-changers

10:11there

10:13in Escoda Shoal

10:15or in Sabina Shoal

10:17is BRP Teresa Magbanua

10:19of the Philippine Coast Guard.

10:21Of course, China is accusing

10:23that the vessel is semi-agground

10:25and

10:27they are not allowed to leave there.

10:29But the BRP Datu Sandai

10:31is doing

10:33this.

10:35They are bringing help

10:37to the fishermen.

10:39Rafi, even

10:41the fishermen are being affected

10:43because of the blockade

10:45of the China Coast Guard.

10:47There are a lot of floating assets

10:49there because

10:51when we were there,

10:53we counted about six

10:55China Coast Guard vessels

10:57that we can see.

10:59There are also

11:01Chinese Navy and

11:03other

11:05militia vessels.

11:07When we were in Pagasa Island,

11:09the number of militia vessels

11:11is about 24.

11:13Those are big ships.

11:15Those are militia vessels.

11:17That's why we can see

11:19that they are gathering

11:21the Sabina Shoal

11:23so that we can't enter there.

11:25But Rafi, before,

11:27when we were doing

11:29RORORI mission to Ayungin Shoal,

11:31the Sabina Shoal is the only area

11:33where the Coast Guard

11:35vessels and

11:37our Navy vessels are blocked.

11:39But now, it's a different situation.

11:41Sabina Shoal is becoming

11:43the second Ayungin Shoal

11:45because it's only there,

11:4720 nautical miles away,

11:49it's already being blocked

11:51and we are being

11:53surrounded by

11:55China Coast Guard.

11:57Obviously, they are very aggressive now.

11:59We can even see in your video

12:01that their militia ship

12:03is already clinging to the Coast Guard

12:05ships and our Bifar ships

12:07that they didn't do before.

12:09The only ships that are clinging

12:11are the China Coast Guard ships.

12:13Let's go back to yesterday's incident.

12:15Tell us about the situation

12:17while you are being attacked by water cannons.

12:19How do you feel?

12:21Because the Philippines Coast Guard ships

12:23are reinforced.

12:25The Bifar ships are not

12:27light even though the air-con units

12:29are made of metal.

12:31But you said that it's still damaged

12:33even the reinforced Bifar ships.

12:35Ian.

12:39Well, Rafi.

12:41At a certain point, we were really nervous

12:43because we saw that

12:45their ships are really fast

12:47and they are directly hitting us.

12:49That's why here in the railing,

12:51we are really clinging.

12:53We said that we can do it.

12:55But at one point,

12:57the ships were moving

12:59but it was only for a short time.

13:01But what really changed

13:03was the opening

13:05of their water cannons.

13:07At first, only one ship

13:09was opening the water cannons.

13:11But after that,

13:13five ships opened their water cannons

13:15and they were doing it one after another.

13:17So, we were going in and out.

13:19Eventually,

13:21we were all inside

13:23because they were almost

13:25opening their water cannons at the same time.

13:27At the same time,

13:29the 21555 ships were still firing.

13:31That's really, Rafi.

13:33There were so many ships

13:35that I counted about four.

13:37The 21551,

13:39which was also hit by the BRP Bagacay

13:41by the Coast Guard.

13:43It was the first ship that was hit

13:45by our starboard side, Rafi.

13:47I think the longest ship was the 21551

13:49because almost all of us were covering it.

13:51We experienced being chased

13:53and hit by the 21551

13:55by the China Coast Guard.

13:57Thank you very much and take care.

13:59Ian Cruz.

14:01In other news,

14:03a member of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ

14:05was injured when he was raided by the police

14:07in their compound in Davao City.

14:09RGL Relator reports

14:11on JMA Regional TV.

14:17The security of the police

14:19inside and outside

14:21of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound

14:23in Davao City is still tight.

14:25We can see on a large LED screen

14:27from the KOJC that the police

14:29are lying down on the compound.

14:31Just last night,

14:33the ambulance bus of Davao City Central 911

14:35arrived.

14:3714 members of the KOJC

14:39went outside to ride the ambulance.

14:41Based on the interview

14:43of Central 911,

14:45they were the subjects of the tear gas.

14:47They were made to

14:49wash their eyes.

14:51They also applied for first aid

14:53to them.

14:55The Police Regional Office 11

14:57denied that they used tear gas.

14:59They said that the police

15:01used tear gas,

15:03which is a very big lie.

15:05We can see that there are no police

15:07wearing gas masks.

15:09They are the ones who made us wash our eyes

15:11with fire extinguisher.

15:13That's why we are looking for them

15:15and we are filing a direct assault case.

15:17According to the plan,

15:19the KOJC compound will be cut off

15:21by electricity and water.

15:23It was also lied to by TRO 11.

15:25TRO 11 Regional Director

15:27Police Brigadier General

15:29Nicolás Torre III

15:31is the next target

15:33to search for the hidden

15:35compartments that they set up

15:37on the first day of the search.

15:39Aside from the fact that the compound

15:41is very big, the PNP also said

15:43that supporters of Kibuloy

15:45are also involved.

15:47We are talking about more or less

15:4930 hectares.

15:51We found the resistance

15:53of the members and supporters

15:55of Kibuloy and Bapa.

15:57There's really an attempt

15:59to delay the movement

16:01of the PNP that

16:03is supposed to attack

16:05the area.

16:07A 21-year-old man,

16:09Samar, and a woman,

16:11Midsayat Cotabato,

16:13members of KOJC,

16:15were rescued by DSWD 11

16:17from inside the compound.

16:19They requested

16:21their relatives to the police

16:23but they refused.

16:25KOJC members

16:27did not let them out

16:29that's why they were rescued by the PNP.

16:31KOJC's legal counsel

16:33denied this.

16:35KOJC's lawyer

16:37thinks that the police

16:39might occupy the compound.

16:41It might be a prelude

16:43for them to stay here

16:45so that if there's a forfeiture order

16:47later, they'll be there.

16:49They're not hostages

16:51and they're free

16:53to go out.

16:57It's not true

16:59that

17:01we'll take over

17:03the whole KOJC compound

17:05because it's not ours.

17:07After our work is done,

17:09we'll also leave.

17:11According to PRO 11,

17:13because they refused

17:15to let the police in yesterday,

17:17some of their relatives were injured.

17:19A group of police

17:21went inside

17:23the compound.

17:25There were 14 stitches

17:27on the hands

17:29of one of our people.

17:31According to KOJC,

17:33aside from one who died

17:35because of a heart attack,

17:37four children had a severe anxiety attack

17:39and 16 were injured.

17:41Some members of KOJC

17:43filed a complaint against the police

17:45because of the injuries

17:47to their relatives.

17:49According to Tore,

17:51the police will face the charges.

17:53From GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao,

17:55Erjil Relator

17:57reports for GMA Integrated News.

18:01Not in China,

18:03but in the Golden Triangle region,

18:07Alice Guo will go.

18:09According to the Presidential

18:11Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

18:13Guo's target destination is Cambodia

18:15and his family has a gambling interest.

18:17His siblings, Wesley and Shemen,

18:21gaming operations in Cambodia.

18:23Based on information
