00:00A new threat from China is what the Philippine ships are experiencing
00:05as aid is being distributed near the Panatag Shoal.
00:08Tension has risen as China is deploying inflatable boats
00:12that are approaching the Philippine fishing boats one by one
00:15in order to catch them.
00:17Watch June Veneration.
00:22As the ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BFAR,
00:26are approaching the Philippine coastguards,
00:29a Chinese warship suddenly appears.
00:32They also have a warship that is not in the video.
00:35Not long after,
00:36the seven ships of the Chinese coastguards are approaching one by one.
00:56This is KRP Dato Balint Sosa, MMOV 3009.
01:01You must take care of our route. Over.
01:04The four ships of BFAR and two from the Philippine coastguards
01:08are being faced by more and bigger ships of China.
01:12We can go now.
01:13Sir, monitor.
01:1728 nautical miles away, the Philippine coastguards are approaching the Panatag Shoal.
01:20Just in time.
01:22Because this is where they will meet the Philippine fishermen
01:25whom they will provide aid to.
01:27Even if we are afraid, what can we do?
01:29Of course, this is where we will live.
01:31This is our family.
01:33While giving crudo and other aid,
01:36the siren of the CCG Vessel 5303
01:38breaks the silence of the loud sound.
01:46Aside from the size of the ships of the Chinese coastguards,
01:49they are also deploying inflatable boats
01:52to get closer to the Philippine fishermen
01:57and help them sail away from the Panatag Shoal.
02:02The tension is getting higher
02:04as the Philippine fishermen are getting closer to the inflatable boats.
02:11The Philippine fishermen sailed away
02:13even though the Panatag Shoal is only 120 nautical miles away
02:17from the mainland Luzon.
02:19Entering the 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
02:23While China is more than 400 nautical miles away.
02:28This is how it is always, sir.
02:30It's really painful, sir.
02:31That's why it's like this for us.
02:34The Philippine fishermen are complaining
02:36that they have been fishing for a long time
02:38and the Chinese coastguards are not letting them get closer
02:40to the Panatag Shoal, a well-known rich fishing spot.
02:44It's painful for us because we are not allowed to fish here.
02:49This is our place.
02:50This is our home.
02:52We should be the ones taking care of them.
02:56After the resupply mission,
02:58the BFAR tried to deploy a maritime patrol
03:01to get closer to the Panatag Shoal.
03:03That's why even though the sea limits are closed until the mainland,
03:05the Chinese coastguards are still continuously
03:07escorting the ships of the BFAR.
03:11It's 7 o'clock in the morning, March 25,
03:14and the Chinese coastguard vessel 5303 is still not stopping
03:20from approaching the BRP Dato Balensusa that we are driving.
03:26Despite the harassment of China,
03:28the Philippine fishermen were protected
03:31because of the deployment of the Philippine coastguard and BFAR vessels.
03:35They received a fuel subsidy.
03:38So, I think this is a successful mission.
03:42Because the Chinese coastguards were not able to do their job,
03:44the BFAR did not try to get closer to the Panatag Shoal.
03:48But they will keep coming back
03:50to show that the Philippines is not giving up on the Panatag Shoal in China.
