Umalis na sa Escoda Shoal ang BRP Teresa Magbanua matapos ang limang buwang pagbabantay sa umano'y reclamation activities ng China.
Giit ng Philippine Coast Guard, hindi ito pag-atras o withdrawal,
kundi pag-reposition ng barko.
Kinailangan ding iuwi ang mga tauhang nagkakasakit na sa gitna ng kakulangan ng supply.

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.
