00:00The Filipinos experienced a new kind of harassment in Rosal Reef.

00:05Their story is that instead of helping them sink their boat,

00:08they were lured by the China Coast Guard.

00:13Witnessed by J.P. Soriano.

00:19The Filipinos are fishing in Rosal Reef or Iroquois

00:22inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

00:28When they were suddenly approached by a Chinese helicopter.

00:32He hovered at a low altitude of just 15 feet.

00:37And he was doing this to the Filipino fishermen.

00:41We're thinking that they're doing this as a form of harassment

00:45to lure our Filipino fishermen.

00:47Because the video was sent to the Coast Guard,

00:50they immediately responded to the fishermen who were also caught by the rain

00:54and the strong waves.

00:58We are one of the media personnel who accompanied them

01:01to ride the BRP Cape Engaño this Saturday.

01:04Next is the BRP Melchorra Aquino,

01:07one of the largest Philippine Coast Guard vessels.

01:10But not far from Palawan,

01:12we were followed by this Chinese Coast Guard vessel

01:16at 5 p.m.

01:21When we arrived in Escoda Shoal,

01:23our vehicle stopped at 8 p.m.

01:26In the middle of the night,

01:28only light can record the video.

01:31But we saw the Chinese Coast Guard vessel pass in front of us.

01:36We also heard the radio challenge of China several times

01:40to keep the Philippine Coast Guard away from their territory.

01:44After 10 p.m.,

01:46our vehicle stopped again

01:49because of the passage of the Chinese Coast Guard.

01:52This is very dangerous.

01:54The boat can fall

01:57and cause an accident.

02:00We were able to prevent this kind of collision

02:02with the Chinese Coast Guard.

02:06After the break of dawn,

02:08we were able to see a few more Chinese vessels.

02:10We were also able to see the Philippine fishermen

02:13for two weeks in Roselwee.

02:15At 8 a.m. on December 1,

02:17after the heavy rain

02:20and the several stops of the Chinese Coast Guard

02:22in this Philippine Coast Guard vessel,

02:24a PCG vessel arrived

02:27belonging to Iroquois or Roselwee.

02:30The Chinese Coast Guard was still watching

02:32while our fishermen were riding the inflatable boats of the PCG.

02:38At one point, they lowered their small speedboat

02:42but it did not approach us.

02:44The Chinese Coast Guard was called illegal

02:47by the Philippine Coast Guard

02:50in Roselwee,

02:51so they made a red flag.

02:59According to the Filipinos,

03:00two of their 20 boats sank

03:03because of the bad weather,

03:05but they were not hit by the Chinese.

03:08It is also very disappointing,

03:11the mere fact that an aircraft was able to fly here

03:14while they were monitoring the Philippine fishermen.

03:17They did not offer any assistance.

03:20Instead of helping, the Filipinos even turned red.

03:24My eyes hurt.

03:25Their laser was green.

03:26They were pinching me.

03:28They were really blocking me.

03:30They really blocked me.

03:32They were also warned to bomb the water

03:34when it approached the alleged part of China.

03:38They said it was the Philippines.

03:39For GMA Integrated News,

03:42I am JP Soriano, your witness.
