00:00Here in Baudi, Mansingloc, in the West Philippine Sea, the so-called monster ship of the China Coast Guard.
00:06The Philippine Coast Guard named it because it is the home of the Philippine fishermen.
00:10The first news is from Chino Gaston.
00:15Using the Dark Vessel Detection of Canada detected by the Philippine Coast Guard,
00:19the vessel 5901 or the so-called monster ship of the China Coast Guard
00:25sailed 54 nautical miles from Capones Island in Zambales.
00:30That is why the BRP Cabra was immediately sent with the Caravan Reconnaissance Aircraft
00:36to see what the monster ship is doing.
00:38At 5 p.m. this Saturday, the presence of the ship in Baudi, Mansingloc, was confirmed.
00:43China Coast Guard, CD 5901, this is BRP Cabra, MRRV 4409.
00:51We are reminding you that you are inside in the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:59Please leave this area immediately.
01:02According to the PCG, until now, the monster ship remains in the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:07The BRP Cabra did not leave the area.
01:11The Chinese Coast Guard monster ship remains to be within the vicinity of Baudi, Mansingloc.
01:18But it moved further north.
01:20According to the PCG, the Philippine fishermen went far away from China.
01:25They want to legitimize their presence in the vicinity of Baudi, Mansingloc.
01:31I think this also threatens our Philippine fishermen
01:35so that they cannot fish in the area of Baudi, Mansingloc.
01:38On June 20, 2024, the monster ship near BRP Sierra Madre, Ayungin, Chol, was sighted.
01:43Compared to 2,265 tons of BRP Teresa Magbanua and Melchor Aquino,
01:49which are the largest ships of our Coast Guard,
01:535 times larger than China's 12,000-ton monster ship.
01:57This is the largest Coast Guard ship in the world.
02:01We are still trying to get the Chinese Embassy to sign on to it.
02:05The Philippine Navy continues to investigate
02:07where the underwater drone was found in San Pascual, Masbate.
02:11It is not yet known who owns it and what its capabilities are.
02:15But for the PCG, there used to be underwater drones
02:19used by China in the Philippine EEZ.
02:22This has been going on for the past few years.
02:25We need a thorough evaluation of the data obtained.
02:31Obviously, this violates our sovereign rights.
02:36Military historian and defense analyst Jose Antonio Custodio
02:41believes that China is looking for a route
02:43for their naval assets or submarines to leave the Pacific Ocean.
02:49You will see that the Chinese are sending probes to map the area
02:55so that their submarines can enter.
02:57You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that.
03:00The Philippine Navy has yet to respond to Custodio's statement.
03:04But a source from GMA Integrated News said
03:06that the drone found should not be left to chance
03:09based on the initial investigation.
03:11This is the first news.
