00:00BRP Teresa Magbanwa's people are now hungry and sick because of the lack of food and clean water while they were guarding Escoda Shoal.
00:11They are just eating porridge and drinking water from the aircon.
00:16My report, Joseph Morong.
00:20One and a half kilo of rice is enough for 63 people.
00:25This is how poor the situation of the people of BRP Teresa Magbanwa has become
00:30within almost a month before Puerto Princesa Palawan was able to return yesterday.
00:34It's just rice porridge.
00:36Do you have pepper?
00:37Yes, sir. Pepper and salt, sir, since that's the only thing we were left with.
00:42We have friends who are starving, their stomachs are rumbling at night.
00:47What do you do at night?
00:49Nothing, sir. I just sleep and rest, sir.
00:52They also ran out of drinking water, so aside from the seawater that the fresh water generator uses,
00:58they also drink water from the rain and aircon.
01:02The water from our air-conditioning unit, sir, the condensed water there, sir.
01:06We prefer the one in the air-conditioning unit, sir.
01:09And the one in the rain, sir.
01:11Compared to the filter?
01:13It tastes like a swimming pool, then it's salty.
01:16Because of the limited water and food, some of the people of Magbanwa are now sick.
01:20It's getting worse. Their bowel movements are really different.
01:23If we stay there longer, maybe more people will get sick.
01:27The most dangerous situation for the China Coast Guard is the Magbanwa on August 31.
01:32This is the wreck that BRP Teresa Magbanwa destroyed when the China Coast Guard bombed our ship on August 31.
01:40It's in this engine room.
01:42For us, it's dangerous if this will hit or damage the ship.
01:49If the cooling system is gone, our engine won't run.
01:52What if this is the cause, sir?
01:54Dead on the water. They have a reason to salvage us.
01:57Because we are dead on the water, they can pull us.
02:02For now, the people of Magbanwa are getting better.
02:05If ever, they are ready to return to Escoda Shoal.
02:09As Pinoy, sir, we can do it.
02:13Why?
02:15This is not only for the Philippines, but also for the whole world.
02:20Because what we are implementing there is international law.
02:24The China Coast Guard called for Magbanwa to leave Escoda Shoal.
02:29But the Philippine Coast Guard needed to leave the ship because of the bad weather.
02:33And to cure the sick crew and fix the wreck of the ship.
02:38We are just repositioning our own vessels.
02:41We have constant monitoring.
02:43We are using different centers, different methods.
02:47There are ships, airplanes, and others that I cannot mention.
02:52Rest assured, our features will remain with us.
02:57With the help of the bilateral consultation mechanism last week,
03:00China told the Philippines to remove the ships from Escoda Shoal.
03:05But according to the National Maritime Council,
03:07We did not withdraw.
03:08And this was not agreed upon during the last BCM.
03:13We were firm during the meeting in Beijing.
03:16Our BFA stated that our presence will be maintained in the show.
