00:00This group has already spread out for their civilian mission in Panatag Shoal.
00:05More than a hundred boats traveled from Masinlok, Zambales,
00:08more than twice as many as their first mission this December.
00:12This group also includes some fishermen as a show of support to the group.
00:17They were able to spread out the buoys in Panatag Shoal
00:21and supply gasoline and food to the Filipino fishermen there.
00:25Even though the mission has just started,
00:27this woman told us that they have already won in their narrative battle against China.
00:32Because of the deployment of Chinese military vessels to guard the area,
00:37China is just showing that they are aggressive and illegally occupying the area.
00:42The mission is expected to end on Friday, May 17.
00:48The Philippine Coast Guard is monitoring the spread of this woman's civilian mission in Panatag Shoal.
00:53And there is a surprise on the spot, Joseph Morong.
00:56Joseph!
01:26This contingent is just here in our location in Alasgis.
01:32And what our countrymen are seeing right now
01:35is a section of a hundred Filipino fishermen
01:40who are in the convoy of this.
01:43And to show that this part of the West Philippine Sea is in the Philippines
01:49and no one else can benefit from these rich seas but the Filipinos.
01:55Like what you mentioned earlier, Raffy, they will lay buoys
02:00to symbolically show that this place is still inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.
02:11And aside from that, the group will also distribute gasoline and food
02:19to the fishermen here.
02:23And it is not surprising to our countrymen that the fishermen are having a hard time
02:29especially here in this part of Zambales,
02:32to be able to enter Bajo de Monsilloc or Scarborough Shoal
02:36because of the force of China.
02:38After giving supplies and laying buoys,
02:44these hundred fishermen will return.
02:47And the four or five big boats that we are holding
02:52will be pushed closer to Bajo de Monsilloc.
02:56We have information that says that there are Chinese ships docked there.
03:04But we will see if the Chinese group will harass these five big boats
03:13that we are bringing to get closer to them.
03:16According to the Coast Guard, this is not a government sanction.
03:19It means that the government has nothing to do with this group's civilian mission.
03:24But even so, they are on guard to provide assistance if necessary, Raffy.
03:30Joseph, are you with those who will go to Bajo de Monsilloc, those small boats?
03:36Because as far as we know, based on our experience,
03:39Joseph, those should be in the mother boat when they sail to Panatag Shoal.
03:44But will they sail? These small boats?
03:49No, they won't.
03:50These small boats will give supplies and lay buoys.
03:56According to our group, they will return.
03:59But the four big boats, as you can see on the camera,
04:04this one and the two behind it,
04:06those will be pushed closer to Bajo de Monsilloc.
04:11We just don't know how close.
04:15Based on the satellite images,
04:20some of the forces of the Chinese Coast Guard
04:24are 60 nautical miles away from Scarborough.
04:31If you look at the reference and the plan
04:34of where these big boats will go,
04:37we might be able to cross or see the forces of the Chinese Coast Guard.
04:45But that will happen tomorrow morning
04:49because that is the schedule for us to be closer to Bajo de Monsilloc by tomorrow, Raffy.
04:54Let's wait for that.
04:55Thank you very much. Take care.
04:57Joseph Morong.
