00:00China is conducting a combat patrol in Bajo de Masinloc or Panatagshol, which is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
00:08We also saw the Coast Guard Guard or China Coast Guard that jumped on the ships of BIFAR,
00:15from Escoda Shoal to Recto Bank, which is still in the EEZ of our country.
00:22First news, Rafi Tima.
00:25From Escoda Shoal to Lawak and Patag Islands, to Eroko Reef and Recto Bank, where BIFAR was given a crudo to the Filipino fishermen,
00:36China Coast Guard 21551 followed the BIFAR's BRPDATO operation.
00:41The CCG vessels of the Philippine ships have already reached a few hundred meters,
00:45so that the Philippine ships can get close to the video and photos.
00:49Until the departure of the BIFAR ship, the CCG ship still followed, even if it is going back to the direction of Bataan, where it is based.
00:56The BRPDATO operation was stopped, so a radio challenge was issued to the foreign ship.
01:02In accordance with the international and Philippine national laws, you are within the Philippine EEZ and Philippine mainland.
01:10You are conducting illegal activity under Philippine laws.
01:13All mentioned places are in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
01:18Even though Patag is one of the smallest islands occupied by the Philippines here in the West Philippine Sea,
01:24it is important to have such structures around the country,
01:28that this part of the ocean near Palawan is a part of the territory of the Philippines.
01:34According to the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army of China,
01:38they organized a combat patrol on the sea and crossed the Scarborough or Panatag Shoal, which is also inside the Philippine EEZ.
01:45The troops of China will try their best in reconnaissance, rapid deployment, and joint strikes.
01:51China is also monitoring all foreign military activity that will cause chaos or tension in the region.
01:58China is not targeted.
02:00According to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, there is no indication of Chinese military activity in the Panatag Shoal,
02:05according to the initial reports, except for their illegal occupation of the Chinese maritime militia.
02:11The last time the troops of China monitored the occupation was outside the Philippine EEZ,
02:17from July 31 to August 2.
02:19But the AFP confirmed that three Chinese Navy vessels
02:23were involved in the multilateral maritime cooperative activity of the Philippines, Australia, Canada, and America.
