00:00Another dangerous manoeuvre was made by the China Coast Guard against the Philippine Coast Guard ship.

00:06It was in the middle of the journey of the PCG towards Ruzul Reef

00:09to capture the fishermen who were being harassed by the helicopters of the People's Liberation Army.

00:15The so-called blockade was made by the CCG in the middle of the night.

00:23After the Philippine Coast Guard received a report of the harassment of the People's Liberation Army

00:29or PLA Navy Helicopter of China against the fishermen in the West Philippine Sea,

00:34the PCG and the media ship immediately deployed towards Ruzul Reef.

00:39In the journey of the PTV News Team in the West Philippine Sea,

00:42a dangerous manoeuvre was made that did not go down

00:45to the two ships of the China Coast Guard or CCG near Escoda Shoal

00:49last Saturday at 7 p.m.

00:52The Chinese ship was again blocked until 10 p.m.

00:56The CCG has already reached the BRP Cape and Ganyo where we will continue our journey.

01:03They also think that their presence here is a legitimate maritime law enforcement.

01:10But in reality, we know that in the middle of the night,

01:14you're going to cut a particular vessel.

01:18This is very dangerous.

01:20It can hit a boat and cause an accident.

01:26But our Philippine Coast Guard Commanding Officers are always professional

01:31and very competent in terms of seamanship skills.

01:34That's why we were able to prevent this kind of collision with the Chinese Coast Guard.

01:39Past 6 a.m. on December 1,

01:42we arrived near Iroquois or Ruzul Reef

01:45where the PLA Navy helicopter was said to have captured footage.

01:49At the moment, the Philippine Coast Guard ship that we are riding has stopped

01:53because the Chinese ship blocked us in that part here in Ruzul Reef

01:58which is only 137 nautical miles from the mainland Palawan.

02:02More than 18 fishing boats sailed to Ruzul Reef.

02:07Fishing boats approached the BRP Melchor Aquino

02:11but even though our boat was with us, the CCG also approached it.

02:15Here, if you can see on the left side of your screen,

02:19the Philippine Coast Guard is also blocking another Chinese ship on the right.

02:24Because of the Chinese ships that were watching,

02:27it took almost two more hours for the fishing boats to approach us.

02:32It's really sad.

02:33Just like last time, when we first arrived here in this area,

02:40we were immediately blocked.

02:43Was it frequent that you were blocked?

02:46Yes, it was frequent.

02:47Especially when we were going to other places,

02:50we were caught by the fishing boats.

02:53We were also being harassed.

02:55They even lowered our boats.

02:59They were making us leave and go home.

03:01The bad weather also added to their suffering.

03:04They also told me that there were two Philippine fishing boats

03:08that sank because of the bad weather.

03:12But all of the crew were rescued by other Philippine fishing boats.

03:18None of them were stranded or lost.

03:21It is also very disappointing

03:24that our Philippine fishermen were also lost.

03:28Despite the presence of the China Coast Guard Vessel 5205

03:34and the PLA Navy, the MirFAC, that was able to fly the aircraft here,

03:40they were able to monitor the Philippine fishermen.

03:43When the two Philippine fishing boats sank,

03:49they did not offer any assistance to help the Philippine fishermen.

03:56Commodore Tariella also added that the rescue was offered by China,

04:00but it was only a day after the two boats sank.

04:04In the commitment of the Commandant,

04:06the moment we learned that there were Philippine mines here in Iroquois or Ruzuri,

04:13we will ensure that we are going to maintain our presence there

04:17to ensure the safety and security of our Filipino fishermen.

04:20Like you said, they are more confident that they can be able to freely fish

04:25and the Chinese are going to hesitate harassing our Filipino fishermen

04:30if there is a Philippine Coast Guard Vessel

04:33or any Philippine maritime forces here in the West Philippine Sea.

04:38It is a big help for us, ma'am.

04:40It is a big help for us.

04:42Like now, if we are going to enter another area

04:46that has a Philippine Coast Guard,

04:48we will be able to enter because they are warning us

04:52so that we will be able to enter our area,

04:54so that we will be able to do good.

04:56The Philippine fishermen were also able to return safely.

04:59The early warning of the Philippine Coast Guard was still there.

05:02But until we returned to our route in Palawan,

05:05the Chinese ship was still anchored.

05:07It was around 11 a.m. when we left the part of Ruzuri Reef,

05:11but around 6 p.m. the Philippine Coast Guard Vessel

05:15approached our boat again.

05:17It was around 9 p.m. when it left our CCG area

05:21and we were able to return safely to Bululuyan Port, Palawan.

05:24According to the PCG, under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,

05:29they will continue to monitor the presence of the PCG

05:32to ensure the safety of the Filipino fishermen

05:36and those who are unable to fish in the West Philippine Sea.
