00:00BRP Teresa Magbanwa overheated as the China Coast Guard's monster ship
00:07that was spotted near Bajo de Macinloc and Zambales,
00:11returned to shore and will be replaced by BRP Gabriela Silang.
00:15This is the news of Bernadette Reyes.
00:21China Coast Guard 5901 was spotted 66.69 nautical miles away from Pundakit, Zambales.
00:29According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
00:31the monster ship was seen circling near Bajo de Macinloc,
00:35Panatagshol and the coastline of Zambales.
00:38Before this, BRP Teresa Magbanwa sent the monster ship away.
00:42But the ship was hit by a PCG.
00:45BRP Teresa Magbanwa experienced overheating of its auxiliary engines.
00:50That's why it returned to the port of Bataan.
00:56That is primarily the reason why the China Coast Guard
01:00was able to once again come near at a distance of 67 nautical miles.
01:05BRP Gabriela Silang will be replaced by BRP Teresa Magbanwa
01:09but this ship is smaller
01:11and is only half the length of the monster ship of China.
01:15According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
01:17the maritime patrol aircraft of the PCG
01:21will be able to send a radio challenge to the China Coast Guard vessel.
01:25Coast Guard, CD5901.
01:29This is BRP Cabra.
01:31Please leave this area immediately. Over.
01:35On January 5, the BRP Cabra radio challenged the PCG monster ship
01:40which is more than 50 nautical miles from Capones Island, Zambales.
01:45But more than a week ago, the monster ship still did not leave.
01:49On January 10, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa radio challenged the Chinese ships
01:54which are more than 70 to 80 nautical miles from Zambales.
01:58China Coast Guard vessel 3304.
02:01This is Philippine Coast Guard vessel BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
02:06You are directed to depart immediately
02:08and notify us of your intentions. Over.
02:11At one point, China deployed a helicopter of their People's Liberation Army Navy.
02:17Something called provocative or challenging by the National Maritime Council.
02:22They can deny the continuous illegal presence of Chinese ships
02:26which is causing tension.
02:28This is also excluded from the Freedom of Navigation,
02:31Innocent Passage, Maritime Zone Act of the Philippines,
02:34United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
02:37and 2016 Arbitral Ruling.
02:39This encouraged China to respect the law of the Philippines
02:43and the orders of its ships to stop invading our EEZ.
02:48The Philippines also held a diplomatic protest.
02:51At the trilateral meeting of the Philippines, America, and Japan,
02:55the outgoing US President Joe Biden
02:58appointed President Bongbong Marcos
03:00to hold on to his aggressive actions of China.
03:04Based on the press release of the Presidential Communications Office,
03:07Biden hopes to continue replacing his US President-elect Donald Trump
03:12with the assistance of the Philippines, America, and Japan
03:15in maritime security and other issues.
03:18Again, China's aggression is in accordance with the law
03:21and the patrolling of the China Coast Guard in the area is justified.
03:25They urged the Philippines to stop the malicious accusations.
03:29In addition, they have a legal foundation of their sovereign rights in the South China Sea.
03:35Bernadette Reyes reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:41The Philippine Coast Guard responded to the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry
03:45that the illegal presence of China in the Exclusive Economic Zone
03:49does not only apply to the Philippines,
03:53but also to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
03:57They say that there is insufficient historical and legal evidence of China's presence here.
04:02They say that China is just braver to create its own interpretation of the law
04:09because of the corruption of its economy and military.
04:13It is clear that China believes that it can bully smaller countries
04:20and not obey the law because of their ability and status in the international community.
04:26It is possible that this action of China will cause more tension and issues.
