00:00The Philippine Coast Guard or PECG responded to a medical emergency involving Philippine

00:06or Filipino fishermen 70 nautical miles off Silangin Island, Zambales.

00:12While monitoring the illegal presence of a Chinese Coast Guard vessel, the PECG received

00:18a distress call from the fishermen.

00:21Tragically, one fisherman passed away before the rescue team could reach them.

00:26But the body was recovered and brought back to Zambales despite the rough seas.

00:31The PECG condemned the action of the Chinese Coast Guard which followed their ship during

00:37the rescue.

00:38The BRP Teresa Magbanoa has since replaced the BRP Cabra to continue monitoring this

00:44situation as Chinese vessels remain in the Philippine EEZ.

00:51We have been very successful when we deployed BRP Cabra despite of its small size, BRP Cabra

00:58really did well to push back, to push the Chinese Coast Guard vessel away.

01:05Repeating our strategy with the deployment of a much bigger vessel, BRP Teresa Magbanoa,

01:12I think we can be able to attain that objective.
