00:00The Philippine Coast Guard once again launched a radio challenge

00:03to see the ship of the China Coast Guard on the coastline of Zambales.

00:07Niko Wahe was the target.

00:12After seeing it on January 9,

00:15the China Coast Guard's Vessel 3304 entered the Exclusive Economic Zone once again.

00:21It was able to see 70 to 80 nautical miles from the coastline of Zambales.

00:25It was radio challenged by PCG personnel

00:28that were riding the BRP Teresa Magbanoa, patrolling the area.

00:32You are advised that you are currently sailing within the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone.

00:37According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

00:39they saw two reasons why China is illegally sailing in Zambales.

00:45We believe that this is a way for the Chinese Coast Guard to drive away the Filipino fishermen.

00:51They wanted to break the confidence of our countrymen

00:55because we know that if more Filipinos go to the West Philippine Sea,

01:01it is actually a headache for the Chinese government.

01:04Second, China wants to normalize and legitimize their deployment to the coast of Zambales.

01:11So they wanted to make it appear that this is the new normal,

01:16this is an altered status quo.

01:18So our role now on the part of the Philippine Coast Guard

01:21is to challenge this kind of behavior of China so that they will not go against their narrative.

01:28Maritime law expert Dr. J. Baton Bacal called this a show of China.

01:34Others say that this is a show.

01:36That is the way by which China is trying to make it appear

01:40that they are exercising authority and jurisdiction in that area.

01:44So this is a show.

01:46But it is enough for the Philippine Coast Guard to protest against China.

01:52So as long as they are not doing anything more than just sailing through,

01:57then the most we can do is simply watch and wait.

02:01And if they make it appear, if they make a statement or undertake an activity

02:05which tries to show that they are exercising jurisdiction,

02:10then our response will be that we do not recognize any such exercises of jurisdiction.

02:15It is also true that the Philippines has expanded its defense cooperation with other countries

02:19such as Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan.

02:23The Chinese embassy has not yet given a new answer.

02:26For GMA Integrated News, Nico Juahe for Tutok 24 Hours.
