00:00The maritime patrol of Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of BIFAR
00:05has been harassed not only by the sea, but also by the fishermen.
00:08In Bajo de Masinloc, or Panatagshol,
00:11BIFAR's Chinese military aircraft was hit and hit by a helicopter several times.
00:16Ian Cruz has the first news.
00:23Aside from the breaking radio challenge of the Chinese Navy,
00:26Bajo de Masinloc, or Panatagshol, was also hit by our aircraft,
00:31Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BIFAR,
00:34along with the China Coast Guard 3305 that was spotted in Bukhanan, Bahura.
00:42Although there are more Chinese militia vessels in its area.
00:48But just a few minutes after the maritime patrol,
00:50a helicopter approached Panatagshol.
00:54Until it came close to our aircraft.
00:58This grey chopper of China is approaching us.
01:02This is the area where Bajo de Masinloc is located.
01:06Inside this area, there are Chinese militia vessels guarding
01:10and outside, there is a China Coast Guard that is also guarding.
01:13That's why there are no Filipino fishermen or any Filipino maritime vehicles nearby.
01:20As the Chinese helicopter approached,
01:23it was already in danger so our pilot radioed it twice.
01:28Chinese military helicopter, you are violating the flight air safety prescribed by the FAA and ICAO.
01:35You are flying too close to our position at less than 50 feet.
01:39You are endangering the safety of our crew and passengers.
01:43We are a Philippine government aircraft performing our mandate to fly
01:47and conduct maritime survey over Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal
01:52within our Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:55Be wary of safety and distance your aircraft from our position.
01:59But on the other hand, especially when the chopper approached,
02:01which is estimated to be 6 meters away from us.
02:04Like the Chinese ships, the chopper was placed on the shore of the shoal.
02:09As if to show the navigation and airspace of the shoal, they are controlled.
02:15Inside the shoal, you can see a militia vessel guarding the shoal.
02:22That is why it is not surprising that there are no Filipino fishermen
02:25who can enter or get close to where there are many fish.
02:29When we left the shoal, which is estimated to be 25 nautical miles from the shore,
02:33we passed through the Chinese Navy Warship 174 with a helipad
02:37and where the chopper that approached us was suspected to be from.
02:41We were also radioed by the Chinese warship.
02:53In the afternoon, the China Coast Guard Vessel 3305 from the shore was already in the north.
03:00Six Chinese militia vessels were placed on the north shore of the shoal.
03:06The close militia vessel inside the shoal seemed to be motionless.
03:12After a few minutes, the Chinese military chopper showed up again
03:17and we were directed but it did not close.
03:20The radio challenge did not change either.
03:23This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
