00:00Two incidents of harassment have been reported by the PCG and BFAR in the past few days.
00:06In the Zambales Sea and the Sandy Cays in the West Philippine Sea.
00:10In Zambales, one of the largest PCG boats, BRP Teresa Magbanwa, will go to join the patrol.
00:17Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:19This is Chino Gaston.
00:24Personnel from the Sandy Cays in the West Philippine Sea will bring the rigid hull inflatable boats of BFAR this Friday.
00:30But they were joined by the Chinese Coast Guard and the People's Liberation Army Navy of China.
00:37According to the PCG, the low-flying helicopter is dangerous because the wind from its propeller can put the ribs of the Filipinos in danger.
00:50According to the PCG, three Chinese ships also carried out aggressive maneuvers on the ships of BFAR.
00:57Because of this, the BFAR survey was suspended and they were not able to collect samples.
01:03The BFAR members in the Sandy Cays have also experienced harassment several times.
01:08Just like when the Chinese Maritime Militia Vessel hit the BRP Dato Cabaylo of BFAR while heading to the Sandy Cays 4 in October last year for routine maritime patrol.
01:21In March, the marine scientists, BFAR members and the media were also harassed because of the low-flying helicopter in the Sandy Cays 3.
01:29Some Filipinos were injured.
01:38Hey!
01:44Hey!
01:46In their initial observation, there was indication from other places that the dead corals could be used for expansion.
01:55It is also not good to put garbage in the area.
01:58And there is no big fish, which is an indication of excessive fishing.
02:03According to the PCG, the destruction of the safety in the Sandy Cays was also visited by BFAR this Friday to investigate.
02:11They went to the Sandy Cays and we showed it to the Filipinos.
02:16In the Sandy Cays, it appears that it was hit and there are dead corals.
02:23We don't have evidence yet who's dumping or getting samples to have it studied in the laboratory.
02:31For us to really understand whether it is a natural occurrence or there's a human intervention.
02:38In a statement made by the China Coast Guard, their sovereignty in the Sandy Cays, which they call the Tiexian Reef, is why the Filipinos were attacked.
02:48The ships of China continue to remain inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
02:55The CCG Vessel 3103 is 90 to 100 nautical miles away from the coastline of Zambalist.
03:08The CCG 3304 was also seen as a supporting vessel of the 3103.
03:15The CCG Vessels 5901 was also hit by the monster ship.
03:20For the first time, according to the CCG, they used the China Coast Guard 3103 Long Range Acoustic Device or LRAD this Saturday.
03:31According to BFAR, the Chinese are used to using the LRAD.
03:35The effect of the LRAD is bad and it not only causes disorientation.
03:40The effect on the hearing of our people is really destructive. It hurts our hearing.
03:48According to the CCG, the LRAD did not stop and continues to monitor the BRP Cabra.
03:53Today, the LRAD was replaced by the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
03:57Our biggest ship is the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
04:00We will continue to monitor and push back the China Coast Guard 3103.
04:08The Chinese Embassy said that in their verification, the ships of the China Coast Guard do not have LRAD.
04:16For GMA Integrated News, who will you vote for?
