00:00BRP Teresa Magbanwa was listed in the Escoda Shoal,
00:03but the Philippine Coast Guard and National Maritime Council
00:07did not withdraw or give up, but only repositioned.
00:11Joseph Moro reports.
00:17In Puerto Princesa Port, BRP Teresa Magbanwa
00:20was spotted in the distance.
00:21It was only found after the Chinese Coast Guard's ship
00:26PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Hill-Gaban,
00:30Palawan Coast Guard District Commander Captain Dennis Labay,
00:33and PCG Spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore J. Tardella,
00:37were the Coast Guard personnel.
00:39Some of them were already ill,
00:41so they were immediately transferred to the Coast Guard Dispensary
00:43for the first check-up.
00:45In the five months that BRP Teresa Magbanwa was listed,
00:49some Coast Guard personnel were already ill,
00:52while others were already on dextrose.
00:54We were told that it was because of the lack of water.
00:58So four of them were brought to the hospital.
01:00According to Gaban, his recommendation is that BRP Teresa Magbanwa
01:03should return to Palawan.
01:05Aside from the bad weather in the area,
01:07the lack of food for more than 60 personnel is also a problem.
01:10Well, we have a National Maritime Council.
01:13I made a recommendation.
01:15I made all the consultations necessary
01:18to come up with a sound decision.
01:20And I think we've made the right thing.
01:23The troops that BRP Teresa Magbanwa was on board were praised.
01:26As the commanding officer of the ship,
01:28Lt. Commander Efren Duran, Jr.,
01:30couldn't help but cry,
01:32especially after receiving the medallion.
01:35He remembers their sacrifice to the sea for five months.
01:39I swam, sir.
01:40We were happy there.
01:42Just salt, sir. Water, sir.
01:44It ran out.
01:45It also ran out.
01:46After giving the medallion...
01:48Today is a celebration,
01:51it's a thanksgiving
01:53of a very successfully conducted
01:57fission by this ship.
01:59So this is a reintroduction
02:01of what good is all about.
02:04When's good fight?
02:06Good!
02:08The personnel of the good fight
02:11joined Gaban's leadership.
02:13This April, BRP Teresa Magbanwa was sent to Eskoda Shoal
02:16to oversee some of the reclamation activities
02:19there in China,
02:21which were damaged by the floods.
02:2375 nautical miles or 140 kilometers
02:25away from Palawan is Eskoda or Sabina Shoal.
02:28It's in the lobby of our 200 nautical mile
02:31Exclusive Economic Zone.
02:33It's owned by China and is called Xian Binjiao.
02:36On August 31, three ships of the China Coast Guard,
02:39five Chinese militia vessels,
02:41and two ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy
02:43surrounded our ship.
02:45One CCG vessel exploded three times,
02:47which is why BRP Teresa Magbanwa was able to escape.
02:52According to the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard
02:54in the Chinese state media,
02:57BRP Teresa Magbanwa withdrew or withdrew.
03:00According to the law,
03:02they were against our ship
03:04and were forced to send supplies again and again.
03:07But the Coast Guard and the National Maritime Council
03:10did not withdraw BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
03:12The return of the ship to Palawan
03:14was not in line with China's call
03:16to remove the ship from there.
03:18We did not withdraw.
03:20We repositioned the vessel.
03:22We will maintain our presence
03:24in all of our exclusive economic zones,
03:27including Escudación.
