Kinumpirma ng PNP Maritime Group sa Senado na gawa sa China ang natagpuang underwater drone sa Masbate nitong Disyembre. Mahirap daw matukoy sa ngayon kung saan ito galing dahil wala ring bansang umaako rito.

00:00The PNP Maritime Group in the Senate confirmed that the underwater drone found in Masbate in December was made in China.
00:10However, it is hard to say where it came from because no country promises it.
00:18Ma'am Gonzales was right.
00:21These fishermen thought it was a buoy or a bomb that they caught in the sea of San Pascual, Masbate on December 30.
00:30We passed by it. I thought it was just a buoy.
00:36When we got closer, I saw that there was a big body.
00:44My sister said it was a bomb.
00:49My friend told me not to touch the antenna because it might explode.
00:56I didn't touch it.
00:58When it was turned over to the PNP and the Philippine Navy, it became a submersible drone.
01:03It is a Chinese-made submersible drone.
01:06In our commercial enterprises, no one uses such submersible drones.
01:12That's why we surmise that this is not commercially available but of a military grade.
01:19This is a copy of what the Senate Special Committee on Philippine Maritime and Admiralty Zones found in a Chinese Sea Wing Haiyi Glider.
01:27The drone has a marking of HY-119 that was caught by fishermen in Masbate.
01:33I already mentioned the meaning of HY-119 or Sea Wing Glider from Taijin, China.
01:47That's an option. That's for sure. We can file a diplomatic protest.
01:51But the diplomatic protest needs to be supported by a formal result that came up by our Philippine Navy.
01:59This drone is considered as a civilian vessel, autonomous vessel, or just a part of a reconnaissance from a mothership.
02:10This drone is a part of the invasion of other countries in our ocean.
02:18Paniniktik. Espionage.
02:22Based on the open source, it's a data gathering equipment.
02:28All information that this equipment can gather has commercial, scientific, and military use.
02:37It can conduct mapping of the subsurface.
02:40All of those are important for any countries that has subsurface capability, subsurface warfare capability.
02:48We are treating it as a national security matter.
02:52But our government hasn't filed a case or protest yet because no country is admitting that this is their drone.
02:58We have not received any information as expected from any foreign state to claim ownership of the submersible.
03:05If China asks it, well, we're going to protest instead.
03:11If you admit that this is your drone.
03:14According to the DND, it's hard to determine where the drone came from because they don't know when it was released and it only follows the waters.
03:22Before this, there were four similar incidents that were monitored by the government.
03:27There may be more, but the Philippine Navy's anti-submarine warfare capability is limited while the Philippine Coast Guard has no capacity here.
03:36Can this be from a monster ship?
03:41The monster ship that is loitering in Baudi, Mazinloc.
03:45All platforms, sir, like what you said, can be dropped from the air.
03:49It can be launched probably from another submarine or from a surface vessel.
03:54So everything, sir, is a possibility.
03:57The Philippine Navy's investigation is still ongoing.
03:59It's taking a long time because they are being careful not to damage the drone while destroying it.
04:04The Department of Foreign Affairs is convinced that China will not ask for it.
04:08If they ask it back, it means that there may be data hidden inside.
04:14Maybe there's something dangerous there.
04:17If they withdraw from the Scarborough Shoal, if they withdraw the monster ship,
04:22if they withdraw the ships that are harassing us for supplying the Sierra Madre,
04:29we might consider it, but they're not going to ask it back, sir.
04:33Because it's admitting that they're violating a territorial sea.
04:38For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales speaking for 24 Hours.
