00:00The Philippine Coast Guard or PCG wants fisher folk in the West Philippine Sea

00:04to not only be protected from the constant harassment from Chinese vessels,

00:08but also have something to smile about this yuletide season. Vel Custodio tells us more.

00:16Junjun is from Negros, Oriental, but he chose to fish in the West Philippine Sea.

00:21According to him, fish catch is more abundant in the West Philippine Sea.

00:25However, the catch has been dwindling when Chinese ships came around.

00:56It used to be they could fish in Sabina Shoal,

00:59but now it is dangerous for the fishermen to sail there or in the area.

01:13Meanwhile, Arnel has been fishing in the West Philippine Sea for more than a decade,

01:18and he has witnessed the change from plenty to paltry fish catch there.

01:25Because of the presence of the Philippine Coast Guard, Filipino fishermen have more freedom

01:37to fish in the inaccessible area of the West Philippine Sea since the Chinese ships came around.

01:56For the Philippine Coast Guard,

01:59under the orders of our President, Marcos, and our Commander-in-Chief, Lonnie Hilcaban,

02:05we are ensuring that despite of our limited number of Coast Guard vests,

02:11in times when our Filipino fishermen need the presence of the Philippine Coast Guard

02:17or the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

02:23you can count on us to do our best to ensure that our Filipino fishermen are free to fish

02:35and we can help to counter the harassment of the Chinese government.

02:40This is the direction of our National Task Force West Philippine Sea,

02:44to encourage more Filipino fishermen to fish in the West Philippine Sea

02:49because their wealth in the West Philippine Sea is for the Philippines.

02:53With the month of December just begun,

02:56the Philippine Coast Guard handed out early Christmas grocery packs to Filipino fishermen.

03:01The intention of the Commander-in-Chief, every time we patrol the West Philippine Sea,

03:06not just in the Zulu Reef, but even in Bajo de Macinlo,

03:11is because Christmas is coming, to have gift packs, grocery items,

03:17at least we can give joy to the Filipino fishermen.

03:22Thank you to President Bongbong Marcos and the Philippine Coast Guard

03:26for giving help and support to our fishermen.

03:29Merry Christmas!

03:31Vel Custodio, from the National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
