Preparations natin to guide yung atin ito, Voyage, which is going to start pala bukas sa Comodoro. May pre-voyage operation daw today.
00:11.5
Yes, sir. Ang guidance po ng ating Commandant, Admiral Ronnie Ilgavan, na in compliance po sa guidance din po ng ating National Task Force West Philippine Sea,
00:23.0
chaired by General Eduardo Año, ang Philippine Coast Guard po ay magde-deploy ng barco, 44-meter vessel, to provide security escort dito sa civil society initiative na ito ng atin ito.
00:40.9
Gusto ko lang i-clarify ulit na ang voyage na ito ng atin ito is actually a civilian initiative, hindi ito sanction ng government or ng NATO.
00:53.0
National Task Force West Philippine Sea. So minsan kasi baka sabihin na naman mga pro-China trolls, ginagamit natin pa-in itong mga sibilyan in going to Bajo de Masindo.
01:04.4
Kaya lagi namin kailangang clarify, on the part of the Philippine Coast Guard, we're just going to act as their escort.
01:11.6
Wala naman nagpilit dyan. Ang daming ang nagbo-volunteer na sumama dyan para i-assert ang kanilang pagka-Pilipino na atin iyon.
01:20.4
But anyway, may tanong si Bigo niya.
01:22.0
Commodore, papalit.
01:23.0
Ano yung may mga report na nagsasabi, as early as now, may blockade na daw po ang China. Paano makakadaan?
01:29.1
Inunahan na tayo.
01:30.0
Oo. Paano po i-handle yan?
01:34.2
Well, pinagbasihan lang nila dito, Ma'am Torres, yung post ni Ray Powell na sinabi niya na marami daw Chinese maritime militia and Chinese Coast Guard na nakabantay na dito sa Bajo de Masindo.
01:47.4
I don't think na ang atin ito would go to that danger.
01:53.0
Ang naging advice naman ng National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea dito sa kanilang coordination na payagan sila is that they just have to make sure na kapag meron ng imminent danger, hindi naman nila talaga dapat makipagbanggaan sa mga Chinese Coast Guard vessel.
02:15.0
We should remember the fact na ang mga gagamitin nila dito ay yung mga indigenous boats lang na fishing vessels.
02:23.0
Hindi naman sila katulad ng Philippine Coast Guard na metal hull.
02:27.5
Okay. So kung meron po nakita agad na imminent danger, abort na ang mission? Ganun po ba mangyayari, Commodore?
02:35.5
Well, ang objective naman nila is to get there and then eventually go back.
02:41.7
So the moment na ma-meet naman nila yung objective nila of going there, definitely alisa rin sila.
02:53.0
Ang objective nila is mamigay ng ayuda sa mga kababayan natin, mga ingisda na aabutan doon.
02:59.0
Ibig sabihin, kung nasa yung mga ingisda, nandun sila.
03:03.3
So there is also a very high possibility na yung mga mga ingisda, hindi rin naman makikipag-patente sa Chinese Coast Guard at Chinese Maritime Militia.
03:13.6
Magkukumpulan lang din sila doon sa area na malayo doon sa mga evil forces, maritime forces na yun.
03:21.0
Evil forces talaga.
03:23.9
Maritime forces na nandun. So magkukumpulan lang sila away from those maritime forces.
03:28.5
Pero paano kung sa lubungin ng water cannon?
03:32.4
Iyon nga ma'am Doris, ang fishing vessels na mga kababayan nating Pilipino, hindi naman magkukumpulan yun doon sa mga maritime forces, evil forces nga.
03:43.9
So kung hindi sila magpo-provoke pa?
03:48.0
Hindi, ma'am Doris, ang sinasabi ko, ang intention ng atin ito,
03:53.0
is also to provide ayuda doon sa mga mga isdang Pilipino.
03:55.4
Correct, correct. Oo.
03:56.9
Ang mga mga isdang Pilipino na aabutan natin doon, ay hindi sila din didikit doon sa Chinese Coast Guard.
04:03.4
Dahil alam din nila yung danger ng ganong sitwasyon.
04:07.4
So ibig sabihin, once we approach itong Filipino fishing vessels,
04:12.9
nandun lang din sila, hindi sila malapit sa mga Chinese Coast Guard at Chinese Maritime Militia.
04:19.1
Mamimit pa rin nila yung mission objective nila.
04:21.4
Pero yung guidance,
04:22.8
hindi nila yung guidance din nyo, Commodore, hanggang saan, ano?
04:24.9
Anong instruction? Do not engage. Ganun po ba?
04:28.5
Or iiwas sa anumang confrontation?
04:33.1
Well, as much as possible, alam naman natin na ang Chinese Coast Guard,
04:38.3
kapag tinubok mo talaga sila, I'm not really sure whether they'll be stupid enough
04:46.4
na i-water cannon din ang civilian convoy because definitely it will have so much pushback.
04:52.8
So sa part lang namin, as much as possible, huwag naman natin ilagay sa panganib ang mga buhay ng ating civilian initiative na ito.
05:07.7
So what happens kung i-water cannon nga ng Chinese Coast Guard ang civilian voyage? What are you going to do?
05:15.7
Well, of course, kung sakaling magkaroon ng mga ganyang sitwasyon, definitely,
05:22.8
mga bangka na gagamitin nila dyan, talagang magkakalasog-lasog kung sakaling gagawin nila yan.
05:29.0
Again, it would be very stupid on the part of the Chinese Coast Guard to do that
05:33.3
kasi definitely masisira itong mga fishing vessels na gagamitin ng ating ito, coalition.
05:43.0
Well, kung masisira yan, obviously, there will be search and rescue.
05:49.0
And that's the job of the Philippine Coast Guard.
05:51.7
So recover all of that.
05:52.8
But again nga, Sir Alvin, hindi natin na tayo hahantong sa gano'ng level.
05:59.2
We're not, as much as possible, ang usapin natin with them is huwag nating ipapaasin yung ganyang possibility.
06:11.8
Let's just stick with the objective of providing ayuda sa mga kababayan nating mahing isda.
06:17.6
Kung makikita na natin ang lupon ng mga mahing isda in a certain location,
06:22.8
na nando na sila, nag-aabang na sa ating ito, coalition, na tumanggap ng mga ayuda nila.
06:28.9
Then so be it. Doon na natin ibigay.
06:31.3
Huwag na nating puntahan pa yung area na nandoon yung grupo ng Chinese Coast Guard at Chinese maritime militia,
06:41.6
it's a challenge mo pa sila, parang ganun lang naman.
06:46.6
On our part, for the Philippine Coast Guard, again, our mandate is to ensure safety,
06:52.8
So kung sakaling magkakaroon ng mga ganyang insidente na huwag naman sana, the only thing that the Coast Guard will be ensured to do is to ascertain itong mga kaligtasan ng ating mga sibilyang kasama and of course media personalities as well na magjo-join dito sa ating tuko.
07:16.5
Commodore, we have one minute left. Yung Sabina Shoal, 24-7 na nating binabantayan sa ngayon?
07:25.3
Yes, Sir Alvin. Ngayong araw na ito is the 30th day ng ating Coast Guard vessel na nandun.
07:32.8
So wala nang umaaligid na Chinese vessel?
07:35.4
Nandun pa ang Chinese Coast Guard, Chinese Research Vessel and Chinese Maritime Militia.
07:41.2
Pero sinasabi ko kaapon is that when we deployed BRP Teresa Magmanua,
07:46.5
we have deterred Chinese from doing small-scale reclamation.
07:52.6
Dahil every other day, yung mga areas na na-monitor natin na dinadampa nila ng mga crushed corals, sinusukot natin ito.
08:00.3
And since day one, when we started doing the measurement, hindi naman na lumaki o tumaas pa itong mga dumped corals.
08:07.8
Buti hindi po hinaharas na mas malalaking barko ng China yung Teresa Magmanua?
08:13.3
Well, ang hinaharas lang nila sir is yung mga...
08:16.5
rigid hull inflatable boats natin na may daladalang divers.
08:21.6
Oh, Diyos ko po. Nakakatakot din yung trabaho nila partner ano.
08:26.5
Pero sa ngalan po ng sovereignty ng Pilipinas, paglaban natin.
08:30.4
Thank you Commodore. Good luck po sa inyo.
08:33.1
Maraming salamat po.
08:33.9
Good luck and mag-iiyot po lahat ha.
08:35.8
