Giit ng Philippine Coast Guard, hindi ito pag-atras o withdrawal,
kundi pag-reposition ng barko.

00:00BRP Teresa Magbanwa has left the squadron after 5 months of monitoring the reclamation activities of China.

00:08The Philippine Coast Guard said that this is not a retreat or withdrawal, but a repositioning of the ship.

00:14The people who are already sick need to go home because of the lack of supplies.

00:19And live from Puerto Princesa, Palawan, we are joined by Joseph Moro.

00:23Joseph.

00:25Ivan Pia, we personally witnessed the return of BRP Teresa Magbanwa to Puerto Princesa, Palawan,

00:33after 5 months of remaining in the squadron.

00:36You know, because of the lack of supplies and food, some PCG personnel became sick.

00:41According to the commanding officer here, they are just eating porridge mixed with salt.

00:49In Puerto Princesa Port, BRP Teresa Magbanwa arrived at 1 o'clock in the afternoon earlier.

00:57It can be seen from a distance that they were only able to reach it after the ship of the China Coast Guard left this August.

01:03PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Hill-Gaban, Palawan Coast Guard District Commander Captain Dennis Lavay,

01:10and PCG Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tardella,

01:15Some of them became sick, so they were immediately transferred to the Coast Guard Dispensary for the first check-up.

01:22During the 5 months of remaining in BRP Teresa Magbanwa, some of the Coast Guard personnel became sick,

01:29and some of them had dextrose because of the lack of water.

01:35Four of them were brought to the hospital.

01:37According to Gaban, his recommendation is for BRP Teresa Magbanwa to return to Palawan.

01:42Aside from the bad weather, the lack of food for the 60 personnel is also a problem.

01:47Well, we have a National Maritime Council.

01:49I made a recommendation.

01:51I made all the consultations necessary to come up with a sound decision.

01:57And I think we've made the right thing.

01:59BRP Teresa Magbanwa's friends encouraged them.

02:03As the commanding officer of the ship, Lt. Cmdr. Efren Duran Jr.,

02:07he couldn't help but cry, especially when he was talking and holding a medal.

02:15He remembered their sacrifice in the sea for 5 months.

02:19We are resourceful.

02:20We go.

02:21So, we go, sir.

02:23We are happy there.

02:24Just salt, sir. Water, sir.

02:26We ran out.

02:27Ah, we ran out, too.

02:28After giving a farewell,

02:30Today is a celebration.

02:33It's a thanksgiving of a very successfully conducted mission by this ship.

02:41So, this is a reintroduction of what food is all about.

02:49Commence food fight!

02:51Yeah!

02:53The personnel joined the food fight at Gaban's first.

02:57Today, the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard told the Chinese state media

03:01that BRP Teresa Magbanwa withdrew or withdrew.

03:04According to the law, they were forced to fight against our ship

03:08and were forced to repeatedly receive supplies.

03:11But the Coast Guard and the National Maritime Council

03:14did not withdraw BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

03:16The return of the ship to Palawan was not in accordance with the call of China

03:20to remove the ship from there.

03:22We did not withdraw.

03:23We repositioned the vessel.

03:25We will maintain our presence in all of our exclusive economic zones,

03:30including Escudación.

03:37Ivan, according to Admiral Gaban,

03:40they consider the BRP Teresa Magbanwa mission accomplished.

03:44Ivan?

03:45Joseph, Coast Guard Chief Gaban mentioned that we will maintain our presence in our EEZ.

03:52Does that mean that the BRP Teresa Magbanwa will have a replacement?

03:56And is the BRP Teresa Magbanwa just a repositioning?

03:59Is it still within the vicinity of Escudación or in other areas?

04:06What Admiral Gaban is saying is that Escudación is a very large area.

04:11And what he is saying is that it cannot just be blocked off.

04:16So our question earlier was,

04:18is there a force that will send us there?

04:20If that is our question to the Coast Guard,

04:22and even to the AFP,

04:25what they call there is operational matters.

04:28Suffice it to say,

04:29according to the government,

04:31we will not let go of Escudación.

04:35Ivan?

04:36Joseph Borong, thank you very much.
