00:00Chinese and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources ships were chased and surrounded in the West Philippine Sea last week.
00:08Aside from this, a laser was also fired at a Philippine airplane that could have been hit by the pilot.
00:15Breaking news from Ian Cruz.
00:18From the air, two Chinese missile boats were seen camouflaged in the Hasa-Hasa Shoal part of the West Philippine Sea this Friday, September 27.
00:31They were being chased by BFAR ships, BRP Datu Matanam Taradapit and BRP Datu Rumapinit.
00:38Two Chinese missile ships were seen here in the West Philippine Sea near the Hasa-Hasa Shoal.
00:45They were being chased by two BFAR ships that came here to the Hasa-Hasa Shoal to bring aid to the fishermen here.
00:54I also saw the China Coast Guard Vessel 21555 that was surrounded and pierced by the BRP Bagakay of the Philippine Coast Guard and BRP Datu Sanday of BFAR for a while.
01:06Later on, a missile boat lit up the airplane we were driving.
01:13Our pilots immediately ran a radio challenge.
01:27But the Chinese did not respond. The missile boat lasered twice more.
01:33If it hit our pilot's eye, it will cause temporary blindness.
01:38Later on, the direction of the missile boats deviated and they slowed down.
01:44According to the National Maritime Council, the Chinese Navy's missile boat just landed on our civilian vessel.
01:51They will give BFAR and its media cognate reports to the DFA.
01:56China's aggression is also experienced by the fishermen.
02:01Sometimes, we let them go. Sometimes, we block them.
02:04That's why the last 10 tons of fishing for 15 days is now 1 ton.
02:11I feel sad and angry. Of course, it's our duty.
02:14Before we are prohibited, we will be angry.
02:18More than 800 fishermen were given diesel and relief packs by BFAR.
02:24Aside from Hasa-Hasa Shoal, help was also delivered to Marie Louise Bank and Iroquois Reef
02:31where less than 20 Chinese militia vessels circled BRP Datu Pagbuaya and BRP Datu Bangkaw.
02:40They did not approach, so the aid was continued.
02:44Before BFAR's four ships landed on the island on Wednesday, September 25,
02:50these ships were followed by the Chinese Navy.
02:54In the routine maritime patrol of BFAR the next day,
02:57less than 10 Chinese militia vessels circled Hasa-Hasa Shoal.
03:03China radioed the BFAR vessels to sail near Sandy Cay 1.
03:13China Coast Guard 5101, this is BRP Datu Pagbuaya.
03:18A Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
03:21conducting a low-poll maritime patrol.
03:25You must stay clear of our route. Over.
03:28Later, two inflatable boats of China with Coast Guard personnel
03:33that chased BRP Datu Romapenet landed.
03:37Two Chinese militia vessels followed.
03:40One chased Romapenet and the other to BRP Datu Pagbuaya.
03:46After that, the Chinese Navy's helicopter flew over
03:50and circled the two ships of BFAR.
03:53Datu Romapenet was in the middle of a Chinese militia vessel,
03:58two inflatable boats and a Chinese Navy helicopter.
04:02China Coast Guard also blocked Pagbuaya, a dangerous maneuver.
04:17The BFAR vessels only escaped, so there were no casualties.
04:21Patrol missions continued to Sandy Cays 1, 2 and 3,
04:25which were also targeted by Chinese vessels.
04:27The Chinese vessels were called by the National Maritime Council as illegal.
04:32That maritime area is within the exclusive economic zone of our country.
04:38They have no right to chase,
04:40they have no right to intimidate the civilian boats.
04:44That's how fast they move because the submarine is very close.
04:47They are hiding there, or we say they are being guarded by their Navy ships.
04:53In the maritime patrol of BFAR,
04:55the ships of China are already close to the mainland Palawan.
04:59Just last Thursday,
05:01China Coast Guard 5202 and Chinese warship 551
05:05were spotted near Palawan.
05:08According to the National Maritime Council,
05:11That's non-negotiable.
05:13Once they enter our 12 nautical miles,
05:17that's our territory,
05:19we can already do more physical challenges.
05:24We can even board them.
