Transcript
00:00The maritime patrol of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Panatagshol has been harassed not only in the sea but also in the Himpapawid.
00:09Breaking news, Ian Cruz.
00:15Aside from the breaking radio challenge of the Chinese Navy,
00:18the Bajo de Masinloc, or Panatagshol, was not allowed by our airplane, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BFAR.
00:26The China Coast Guard 3305, which was spotted in Bukhana ng Bahura, was the only one.
00:33Although there are more Chinese militia vessels in the area.
00:40After a few minutes of maritime patrol, a helicopter approached Panatagshol.
00:46It even approached our airplane.
00:49A while ago, we were approached by a Chinese chopper that was gray in color.
00:54They were not aware of the distance that was only close to the tip of the BFAR plane.
01:00We are now here in Bukhana, in Bajo de Masinloc.
01:04Inside, we saw a Chinese militia vessel that was patrolling inside.
01:10Outside, there was a China Coast Guard that was patrolling.
01:14When I approached, it was clear that they were patrolling.
01:17The Chinese chopper was approaching.
01:20It was dangerous, so our pilot radioed it twice.
01:25Chinese military helicopter, you are violating the flight air safety prescribed by the FAA and ICAO.
01:32You are flying too close to our position at less than 50 feet.
01:37You are endangering the safety of our crew and passengers.
01:41We are a Philippine government aircraft.
01:43Performing a mandate to fly and conduct maritime survey over Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal
01:50within our exclusive economic zone.
01:52Be wary of safety and distance your aircraft from our position.
01:56But instead, especially when the chopper that we were supposed to fly with approached,
02:00it was six meters away.
02:02Like the Chinese ships, the chopper landed in Bukhana.
02:07It was like a display of navigation and airspace in the Shoal.
02:10They were in control.
02:12Inside the Shoal, you could see a militia vessel that was patrolling Bukhana.
02:19That is why it was not surprising that there were no Philippine fishermen
02:22who were able to enter or approach where there were many fish.
02:26When we left the Shoal, which is 25 nautical miles east of here,
02:30we passed by the Chinese Navy Warship 174 with a helipad
02:35and where the chopper that we were supposed to fly with left.
02:39We were even radioed by the Chinese warship.
02:50In the afternoon, the China Coast Guard Vessel 3305 from Silangan was already in the north.
02:57Six Chinese militia vessels were positioned in the north coast of the Shoal.
03:01The militia vessels inside the Shoal seemed to have no movement.
03:07After a few minutes, the Chinese military chopper showed up again
03:11and we were directed but it did not approach.
03:15There was no change in the radio challenge.
03:18Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
