Nagbabala ang China sa Pilipinas tungkol sa pagsasagawa ng Balikatan Exercises kasama ang US at sinabing ‘pagkakamali’ raw ito sa gitna ng tumitinding tensyon sa West Philippine Sea. Bumuwelta naman ni Philippine Coast Guard Spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela na kahit wala ang presensya ng US sa West Philippine Sea, nagpapatuloy ang harassment at bullying ng China. #TedFailonandDJChaCha #DitoTayoSaTotoo #SaTrue #TrueFM --- Follow News5 and stay updated with the latest stories! https://www.facebook.com/News5Everywhere https://twitter.com/News5PH https://www.instagram.com/news5everywhere/ https://www.tiktok.com/@news5everywhere 🌐 https://www.news5.com.ph

Commodore J. Tariel. Good morning, Commodore.

Good morning, Sir Ted. Good morning, DJ Cha.

Good morning, and thank you for your time again.

Meron pong aligid na Chinese Militia Vessel. Napakalapit na po nito sa Palawan.

Ano po ang report na ninyo tinanggap dito kahapon?

Well, ang Philippine Coast Guard Courser together with the Western Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

As a matter of fact, earlier, bago may post ni Ray Powell sa kanyang ex-account,

ay na-monitor na ito ng ating sandatahang lakas.

Kung kaya we were able to deploy our assets to monitor these Chinese Maritime Militia Vessels closely.

On the part of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, nagpalipad sila ng kanilang aircraft.

And then for the Philippine Coast Guard, the Commandant has directed a Coast Guard Vessel

to depart from the Philippine Coast Guard Vessel.

So to intercept sana, kung tuloy-tuloy napakalapit ito ng Palawan, Sir Ted.

Pero hindi naman siya tumuloy?

Hindi naman siya tumuloy, Sir Ted. Hanggang 24 nautical miles lang siya.

Opo. Kapag huwag ganun, meron huwag bang paglabag yun sa ating kung baga jurisdiksyon?

Dahil klaro ho na ito po ay territorial waters talaga natin.

Well, ang territorial waters natin, Sir Ted, ay 12 nautical miles.

Kung sakaling yung Chinese Maritime Militia Vessels na ito ay tumuloy-tuloy papunta sa territorial waters natin,

the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard has to, of course,

prevent them from entering or infringing our territorial seas.

At kung sakaling hindi pa rin siya hihinto, of course, we have our own domestic law.

For in the Philippine Coast Guard can board them.

And, of course, subject them to questioning, bakit at ano ang intensyon nila sa pagpasok nila sa territorial waters natin, Sir Ted?

Opo. Sige. So, hindi pa ho ito sakop ho ng ating territorial waters kung saan meron tayo talagang sovereign control.

Ito po ay nakakasakop sa ating exclusive economic zone, yung lugar na iyon.

Yes, Sir Ted. Mula Mischief Reef, when it departed, it still covered ang ating exclusive economic zone.

Okay. Ano ang effect nito?

Ano ang effect nito ngayon sa kaisipan po ng Coast Guard at ng ating Armed Forces sa usapin po ng gaganapin o ginagarap ng parahil na balikatan exercises?

Well, there are so many possible reasons, Sir Ted, bakit ginawa ito ng Chinese maritime militia sa pag-alis from Mischief Reef

and then intentionally not deviating dun sa headway niya talaga, coming closer to Palawan.

Pero ang unang nakikita natin dito, Sir Ted, is of course they have been doing this kind of movement as well sa Taiwan, kung saan ginagawa nila.

Kunyari, they will be entering the territorial sea ng Taiwan, but the main objective of this kind of deployment is to size up or evaluate yung monitoring capability ng isang bansa, which they did nga sa Taiwan.

Sa ating naman siguro, they are also doing this kind of...

possibility.

They are deploying their Chinese maritime militia, checking if we have the monitoring and surveillance capability.

Chine-check siguro nila kung malalaman natin yung intention ng balko nila na papalapit ng Palawan.

And then at the same time, they're also thinking of our interception capability, kung makakapag-responde tayo kung sakaling papasok sila.

And then they're also looking into the response time ng armed forces.

So this is how we look at it.

The mere fact that the Chinese maritime militia are deployed randomly just like this, they are just sizing up our capability in terms of monitoring, response, and also our interception.

Okay. Sir, ito pong Coast Guard Rao ay kalahok sa Balikatan today. Sa ano po kayang pamamaraan kaya ito?

If you are at liberty...

Tito, tell us.

Well, nung mga nakalaang taon naman, Sir Ted, the Philippine Coast Guard personnel are participating sa mga Balikatan exercises, particularly sa mga classroom setting.

But for this year, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Ronil Gavan, was asked by the Armed Forces of the Philippines to join na mag-deploy tayo ng mga Coast Guard vessels natin sa mga maritime exercises.

between the Philippine Navy, the U.S. Navy, and other naval forces na makikilahok dito. So ito ang unang pagkakataon, Sir Ted, na magkakataon tayo ng mga bago na sasali dito sa maritime exercise na ito.

Opo. Considering po na ang papel ho ng Coast Guard, hindi ho ba ay civilian in nature sa ating karagatan, can you elaborate? Paano kaya magiging papel dito sa ganda pong uri ng exercise?

Involving military and defense vessels and hardware ng mga bansang kalahok dito?

Well, first of all, Sir Ted, before I respond to that, I think it's important for our least-generation viewers to understand na in times of war, ang Philippine Coast Guard po ay mapapalagay sa ilalim ng Department of National Defense.

And then secondly, it's also worth mentioning, no?

So dahil dito sa dalawang variables na ito, Sir Ted, we can actually presume that the Philippine Coast Guard is vital in participating with this kind of exercises between the Philippine Navy and the United States Navy.

Okay.

But if you're going to ask me what are the specific function of the Coast Guard that we can provide, there are a lot of roles naman that the Coast Guard can provide, Sir Ted, no?

But ang pinakamahalaga dito is yung coordinating mechanism between the Coast Guard and the Navy kung sakali magkakaroon man ng ganitong conflict sa karagatan, Sir Ted.

Opo. Pero iklaro naman yan, di ba, ng NSC na hindi gera.

Ang pinaghahandaan natin dito sa exercise na ito.

Yes, Sir Ted. This is just an exercise and coordinating between allied forces and of course with the Coast Guard as well.

Okay. Sige po. So Sir, ang China naglabas po ng kanilang statement. Ito ba inyong nabasa? Yung mga babala nila dito po sa gagawin na exercise at mahaba-haba ang litanya ng kanilang mga babala dito.

Ha? Unang-una din daw po.

Ah, mali ang desisyon ng ating gobyerno na tayo ay kumiling sa Estados Unidos. Itong gagawin na exercise will only increase the tension. And again, ah ho, hindi tayo sumusunod sa kasunduan ng dating administrasyon. And mahaba ito. Meron po sinasabi na pag-isipan niyo mabuti dahil nagkakamali kayo dyan. Baka kayo magsisi.

Well, una sa lahat, Sir Ted, no? The Philippine government.

Doesn't really care about those kind of litany ng People's Republic of China. But let me just respond on the first take na sinabi nila, no? Na ito ay pagkakamali. Ang ginagawa natin na kumikiling tayo or the deepening security cooperation with the United States is not correct for our national interest. We have to go back, Sir Ted, no? Nung panahon ng nakarang administrasyon kung saan ipinagbawal na ng ating Pangulo ang balikatan exercises.

Napalapit tayo sa China in terms of our foreign policy relation at lumayo naman tayo sa Amerika. Ano ba ang nangyari sa panahon na ito? Patuloy pa rin nahaharas ang ating mga maingisda. We know water cannon pa rin ang resupply operation natin. Nahihirapan pa rin ang Coast Guard at ang Armed Forces of the Philippines nakaharapin ang mga bullying actuations nila sa karagatan. So, ibig sabihin, ang nangyari nung lumayo tayo sa Amerika at lumapit tayo sa kanila, eh, mas lalang nangyari.

So, ibig sabihin, ang nangyari nung lumayo tayo sa Amerika at lumapit tayo sa kanila, eh, mas lalang nangyari.

So, pwede mo natin malaman, maliban dito po sa exercise, malapit-lapit sa Taiwan, meron ho bang ilang pang mga lugar na maaaring niyong i-anunsyo o totally po ito ay hindi po agad pinaalam hanggat hindi po nangyayari yung event?

Sir Ted, I'm not authorized to disclose the detail of the exercise.

I would apologize.

I would ask that question to Sir Lohico to respond to those details of the exercise.

Okay. Sige. We respect that, Sir.

Salamat po na marami at good luck sa ating pong tropa, sa ating pong hanay sa Coast Guard.

Sa inyo pong gagawin na first time po mismo daw na makikilahok po sa actual exercise ang ating pong Philippine Coast Guard.

Salamat po na marami, Commodore.

Thank you, Sir Ted, at mabuhay po kayo.

Thank you.

Si Commodore Jay Tariel ang spokesperson po ng...

Philippine Coast Guard at siya din po ang spokesperson ng Coast Guard.

So sabihin po ng West Philippine Sea.
