00:00In addition to almost 200 ships of China in the West Philippine Sea,
00:03a maritime security expert said that the AFP should also monitor
00:07a Chinese research vessel near Palawan and Northern Luzon.
00:12Let's hear from Chino Gaston.
00:16In the last monitoring of the AFP from September 30 to October 6,
00:21around 170 ships of China remained in the West Philippine Sea.
00:27Of these, 28 are ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy and China Coast Guard.
00:33Most are Chinese fishing militia or ships that pretend to be fishermen
00:39but are under the control of the China Coast Guard.
00:42The AFP continues to patrol using the airplanes of the Philippine Air Force
00:46and ships of the Philippine Navy.
00:48There is nothing unusual that the AFP is now noticing in the movements of China
00:53even though it is still illegal for ships of China to remain
00:57inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
01:00We don't have a report that there is something that we need to really immediately address in the area.
01:08As I said, we are continuously monitoring here.
01:11Aside from ships of China Coast Guard and Navy,
01:14a research ship of China near Palawan and Northern Luzon should also be monitored.
01:21There may be some research value in what they're doing.
01:25I mean, they may be looking sort of at the undersea environment for submarine operations.
01:31And there may also just be symbolic value.
01:34They're just basically making a statement that this is what we're going to do and you can't stop us.
