00:00The forensic examination of the underwater drone that was discovered in Masbate is ongoing.

00:06But it's too early to say this in China, according to the National Security Council.

00:12Chino Gaston was on the scene.

00:17The National Security Council has yet to say which country has the underwater drone found in Masbate.

00:23The yellow drone, which is almost 3 meters long and has markings of HY119,

00:29was found floating in the sea by fishermen a few kilometers from the town of San Pascual.

00:35The National Security Council is in charge of the possible implications of this for national security.

00:41The underwater drone was placed under the Forensic Investigation of the Philippine Navy

00:46to find out who has the ability to do it and what it can do.

00:50It's hard to speculate as to the possible motives of this drone.

00:58If it comes from this certain country and what it does is illegal,

01:04then we can say and make a conclusion.

01:08Let's just give our authorities enough time.

01:11In the first PNP investigation, it's possible that China used the drone based on its markings.

01:17Even though the forensic examination is ongoing,

01:20the Philippine Navy has a basis for saying that the drone was not used by the military.

01:25The color is somewhat yellow, usually orange, bright red, yellow, yellow green.

01:32This is designed to be seen in the air.

01:34So this is most likely for scientific research or for fishery.

01:38Is it possible to see the seabed, the formation of our ocean?

01:45Yes, this is possible.

01:46This is just based on what we saw in the first images and pictures.

01:52But we have to also factor in the size of its batteries, especially if it is remotely operated.

01:58This scenario is not new.

02:00If there is an exercise, if our treaty ally is using similar equipment,

02:06there are reports that it is cut off or lost control.

02:09After a few months, we can see that it is already on the shoreline.

02:12If only the images are the basis,

02:14Professor J Batung-Bakal believes that this is a glider,

02:18an autonomous underwater vehicle used to retrieve data from the sea

02:24and transmit it back to an operator.

02:27The Chinese embassy has yet to comment on the PNP's first investigation

02:32that it is possible that the underwater drone was obtained from China.
