00:20Alan, two large ships of the Philippine Coast Guard are now sailing in the Chinese monster ship 5901 in Zambales.
00:28It is accompanied by BRP Teresa Magbano and BRP Gabriela Silang.
00:32In the last monitoring of the PCG, its location is closer to the coastline of Capones Island in Zambales,
00:37which is only 77 nautical miles away.
00:39The CCG has been circling the ocean for almost two weeks.
00:45That is why the National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea is now calling on China to remove the ship from our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:53Alan, the NTF-WPS and NMC also condemned the illegal presence of the Chinese Coast Guard.
01:01What they are doing as a regular deployment of assets is a threat to our fishermen who are looking for a life near Baudimasinloca.
01:10On the other hand, the task force assured that they will not allow and continue to block the possible presence of China's monster ship in our territories.
01:18Our government will not stop supporting the Filipino fishermen who are sailing in the West Philippine Sea.
