00:00The Philippine Navy continues to guard the West Philippine Sea
00:03even though it has more than 251 Chinese vessels.
00:08Since the AFP started monitoring,
00:11the Navy also called the Chinese helicopter made by BFAR
00:14which is an unprofessional aircraft,
00:17a witness to the show.
00:18Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:20You are endangering the safety of our crew.
00:24According to the Philippine Navy,
00:26the Chinese helicopter made by BFAR
00:28is the one that was caught by BFAR
00:32who is patrolling the Bajo de Masinloc.
00:35They are unsafe maneuvers.
00:37They are uncalled for, unprofessional.
00:41We leave it up to BFAR to issue the appropriate official statement on that.
00:45But again, actions like this have no place
00:48in the aviation industry.
00:50In the latest monitoring of the Philippine Navy,
00:5312 Chinese ships passed through Bajo de Masinloc.
00:57But there are more in Iungin Shoal
00:59where the BRP Sierra Madre crashed.
01:0272 Chinese vessels are in Iungin Shoal in total.
01:06From the previous 7 Chinese militia vessels there,
01:09it reached 62.
01:12Our soldiers in the BRP Sierra Madre
01:15have high morale.
01:17They are used to the numbers around them
01:19and they are happy to perform their mandate.
01:21But more were killed in Escoda Shoal
01:24where the BRP Teresa Magbanua was forced to leave.
01:2916 China Coast Guard and 55 Chinese militia vessels are guarding.
01:34The Chinese Navy warships became 11
01:37from the previous 4 only.
01:39In total, from September 17 to 23,
01:42251 Chinese vessels were spotted in different parts of the West Philippine Sea.
01:47The most since the Philippine Navy started monitoring.
01:51This is the biggest increase
01:53from 157, it went down a bit, then it went up to 251.
01:57For whatever reason, I don't want to speculate on that,
02:00we continue monitoring, we continue performing our mandate.
02:03But this doesn't mean that China has already controlled Escoda Shoal.
02:08And we have to continue pushing back
02:10against this because the international law is behind us.
02:13The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
02:18The only thing necessary to legitimize the presence of the PLA in the West Philippine Sea
02:26is for the Philippine instrumentality in the maritime domain to stop performing its mandate.
02:31The Philippines' military also continues to strengthen.
02:35Earlier, two fast attack interdiction craft arrived from Israel
02:39that can destroy missiles.
02:41Designed for high-speed operations,
02:44featuring advanced missile systems and sophisticated onboard technology,
02:49which enhances the Philippine Navy's capability to conduct rapid
02:52and effective maritime interdiction operations.
02:55The arrival of these vessels underscores the continued modernization of the Philippine Navy.
03:00At the Quad Leaders Meeting in America,
03:02the leaders of Japan, India, and Australia were present.
03:06US President Joe Biden mentioned the issue in the South China Sea.
03:11China continues to behave aggressively,
03:13testing us all across the region.
03:15And it's true in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, South Asia, and Taiwan's trades.
03:22The Chinese Foreign Ministry's answer is that America should stop its use and manipulation in other countries
03:29to counter China.
03:31For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chiro Gaston, your witness.
