00:00Meanwhile, the Philippine Coast Guard successfully escorted the ships of China near Zambales.
00:06But before that, the China Coast Guard Vessel 3103 used a device as a defense.
00:14First news is from Niko Wahe.
00:22That powerful device is called Long Range Acoustic Device or LRAD.
00:27According to the PCG, it was used by the China Coast Guard Vessel 3103 while patrolling the BRP Cabra in Zambales.
00:36This is also our first time to experience the use of the China Coast Guard Long Range Acoustic Device.
00:45According to our friends, it was used during the pandemic.
00:51It was used in a very close proximity here in Banco.
00:54This is the way of the China Coast Guard to patrol the BRP Cabra,
00:58especially in the vicinity of the CCG Vessel 5901, the so-called China's Monster Ship.
01:05It's hard for them to move forward because BRP Cabra is just a few hundred yards away from the China Coast Guard.
01:16China Coast Guard Vessel 3103, this is Philippine Coast Guard Vessel BRP Cabra, MRRV4479.
01:25We do not possess any legal authority to patrol within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.
01:31You are directed to depart immediately.
01:33But according to the PCG, the Chinese Vessel 3103 successfully departed.
01:38The first day that we monitored the China Coast Guard Monster Ship was at 54 nautical miles.
01:44Now, we were able to keep them away at a distance of 90 to 95 nautical miles.
01:51According to Defense Analyst Dr. Renato De Castro, China is conducting a gray zone operation.
01:58They are using coercive actions, harassment, and other measures short of the actual use of force.
02:06Although there is no kinetic or lethal use of force, nevertheless, this is an indication of their hostile action.
02:19China is not only conducting this operation against us, but also against Malaysia.
02:34But for now, they are not able to see that China is really going to attack us.
02:38They say that China is only conducting coercive actions, especially since they know that they are stronger than us.
02:44China is the largest coast guard in the world.
02:48700 ships.
02:50China is also the largest navy in the world.
02:53They are not only attacking us, they are also threatening us.
02:56They are threatening us.
02:58Can you start? This is what we can do.
03:01Just try it.
03:02Despite the harassment, the PCG continues to monitor the West Philippine Sea.
03:07We are still trying to get a statement from its Chinese Embassy.
03:12This is the first news for GMA Integrated News.
