00:00The Philippine Navy is studying the underwater drone in a place that has Chinese markings.
00:09In front of it, the Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad, said that the public should not be bothered by this.
00:21Based on its color, it is possible that the drone is being used for scientific research.
00:28When the official announced, the results of their investigation will be submitted immediately.
00:34After this, the decision will be passed on to the officials, if this is one of the public.
00:43According to the National Security Council, the authorities are studying the underwater drone in Masbatek.
00:53According to the National Security Assistant Director, General Jonathan Malaya,
00:58it is being investigated, especially considering that it is a national concern because it was found in the archipelagic territory of the Philippines.
01:07That's why it needs to know where it came from and what it is doing.
01:13Meanwhile, in front of the news that China has a monster ship in Bajo de Masinlo,
01:18along with other ships of the Coast Guard and Chinese militia vessels,
01:23the official was assured that the government is on its way to help our fishermen who are still trapped in the so-called place.
01:35It's too early to say, partner.
01:38It's hard to speculate as to the possible motives of this drone.
01:46If it comes from a certain country and what it is doing is illegal, then we can say and make a conclusion.
01:56As of now, it's not hard to speculate.
02:00Let's just give our authorities enough time to finish their investigation.
02:06We're also coordinating very closely with our foreign counterparts
02:10so that we can get additional information about this.
02:15Because what's at stake is more or less in the archipelagic waters of our country.
02:20We are sending vessels from the Philippine Coast Guard.
02:25Before, we have been doing rotational deployment of our vessels to support our fishermen.
02:33Our fishermen in Zambales and Pangasinan will hope that it will go to Bajo de Masinlo
02:40and that our government will not stop giving them support in terms of presents.
02:45At the same time, the free diesel and other food supplies
02:52will be provided to continue their fishing in Bajo de Masinlo.
