00:00The Armed Forces of the Philippines announces Friday, November 15, it completed a resupply
00:06mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in the West Philippine Sea.
00:09This is the third mission to the West Philippine Sea since Manila and Beijing reached a provisional
00:14agreement meant to avoid incidents near the Ayungin Shoal.
00:17The Philippine Coast Guard supported the mission to bring supplies and rotate troops to the
00:21Sierra Madre on November 14.
00:23Close to Ayungin is a military base that China created from what used to be Mischief Reef.
00:28The Philippines ran the BRP Sierra Madre aground as a response to Beijing's development of
00:33Mischief Reef.
00:34Ayungin, or Second Thomas Shoal, has been at the center of the friction between the
00:38Philippines and China.
00:40The China Coast Guard resorted to dangerous maneuvers in the use of water cannons to drive
00:44away Philippine vessels.
