00:00The Filipinos experienced a new kind of harassment in Rosal Reef.
00:05Their story is that instead of helping them sink their boat,
00:08they were lured by the China Coast Guard.
00:13Witnessed by J.P. Soriano.
00:19The Filipinos are fishing in Rosal Reef or Iroquois
00:22inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:28When they were suddenly approached by a Chinese helicopter.
00:32He hovered at a low altitude of just 15 feet.
00:37And he was doing this to the Filipino fishermen.
00:41We're thinking that they're doing this as a form of harassment
00:45to lure our Filipino fishermen.
00:47Because the video was sent to the Coast Guard,
00:50they immediately responded to the fishermen who were also caught by the rain
00:54and the strong waves.
00:58We are one of the media personnel who accompanied them
01:01to ride the BRP Cape Engaño this Saturday.
01:04Next is the BRP Melchorra Aquino,
01:07one of the largest Philippine Coast Guard vessels.
01:10But not far from Palawan,
01:12we were followed by this Chinese Coast Guard vessel
01:16at 5 p.m.
01:21When we arrived in Escoda Shoal,
01:23our vehicle stopped at 8 p.m.
01:26In the middle of the night,
01:28only light can record the video.
01:31But we saw the Chinese Coast Guard vessel pass in front of us.
01:36We also heard the radio challenge of China several times
01:40to keep the Philippine Coast Guard away from their territory.
01:44After 10 p.m.,
01:46our vehicle stopped again
01:49because of the passage of the Chinese Coast Guard.
01:52This is very dangerous.
01:54The boat can fall
01:57and cause an accident.
02:00We were able to prevent this kind of collision
02:02with the Chinese Coast Guard.
02:06After the break of dawn,
02:08we were able to see a few more Chinese vessels.
02:10We were also able to see the Philippine fishermen
02:13for two weeks in Roselwee.
02:15At 8 a.m. on December 1,
02:17after the heavy rain
02:20and the several stops of the Chinese Coast Guard
02:22in this Philippine Coast Guard vessel,
02:24a PCG vessel arrived
02:27belonging to Iroquois or Roselwee.
02:30The Chinese Coast Guard was still watching
02:32while our fishermen were riding the inflatable boats of the PCG.
02:38At one point, they lowered their small speedboat
02:42but it did not approach us.
02:44The Chinese Coast Guard was called illegal
02:47by the Philippine Coast Guard
02:50in Roselwee,
02:51so they made a red flag.
02:59According to the Filipinos,
03:00two of their 20 boats sank
03:03because of the bad weather,
03:05but they were not hit by the Chinese.
03:08It is also very disappointing,
03:11the mere fact that an aircraft was able to fly here
03:14while they were monitoring the Philippine fishermen.
03:17They did not offer any assistance.
03:20Instead of helping, the Filipinos even turned red.
03:24My eyes hurt.
03:25Their laser was green.
03:26They were pinching me.
03:28They were really blocking me.
03:30They really blocked me.
03:32They were also warned to bomb the water
03:34when it approached the alleged part of China.
03:38They said it was the Philippines.
03:39For GMA Integrated News,
03:42I am JP Soriano, your witness.
