00:00Before the end of August, the China Coast Guard again bombed the BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Escoda Shoal.
00:07The Philippine Coast Guard insisted that their ship should stay there to monitor the reclamation activities of China in Escoda Shoal.
00:16Bon Aquino has the first news.
00:22A person can pierce this big hole in the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
00:27The China Coast Guard Vessel 5205 was hit by three bombs.
00:32The Philippine Coast Guard found other pieces of the ship.
00:37There's a damage on the bridge wing and also on the freeboard of the 9701.
00:44There is this hole that also was a result of a direct ramming conducted by the China Coast Guard and also on this part.
00:54The BRP Teresa Magbanwa is alone in Escoda Shoal surrounded by three ships of the China Coast Guard,
01:01five Chinese militia vessels and two ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
01:09Until it was hit by the China Coast Guard Vessel 5205, it turned its back on our ship.
01:17The Chinese Coast Guard carried out dangerous maneuvers despite of being unprovoked.
01:28There was no damage to the ships that were still surrounded.
01:33Based on the post of the ex-maritime security expert, Ray Powell,
01:37more than 15 Chinese vessels were surrounded by the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:43The attack that was condemned by America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and UK
01:48is the fifth time that China has harassed the Philippines in our Exclusive Economic Zone this August.
01:55The China Coast Guard, PCG, is to blame.
01:58They even released their own video to show that our ship was deliberately attacked.
02:03The Philippines was again threatened by China.
02:06Our ship should be removed because their sovereignty is being violated.
02:12It's really infuriating.
02:14When we say we were attacked, how crazy that argument is.
02:21It's only been a minute, four minutes, we were attacked again.
02:27For people who are arguing, I think it's very frustrating,
02:33especially when we see it on social media,
02:36our fellow Filipinos, or worse yet, the former part of the government.
02:43Last April, BRP Teresa Magbanwa was at the Escoda show,
02:47which was broadcasted there amidst the reclamation activities of China.
02:51On the other hand, China released a video of their documentary on Escoda,
02:57which they called Sian Bin Jau.
03:00They did not destroy the shipwrecks there.
03:03They said that the activities of the Philippines are destroying the environment there.
03:08We are still trying to get the statement of PCG directly here,
03:12but PCG said that BRP Teresa Magbanwa will not leave there.
03:16We will still hold the line and we will maintain our presence in Escoda show.
03:21This is the first news.
