00:00The Philippine Coast Guard found two China Coast Guard vessels nearly 34 nautical miles from the coastline of Pangasinan.
00:07This prompted the immediate deployment of an Islander aircraft.
00:11The PCG confirmed the two CCG vessels with bow numbers 3301 and 3104 did not respond to the radio challenge they issued.
00:20For now, the BRP Cabra and BRP Bagacay have been deployed to monitor the situation,
00:26successfully driving the vessels farther away to a distance of 70 to 75 nautical miles from Luna, La Union.
00:33Based on PCG's report, this is the closest distance Chinese vessels have come to the country's coastline this year.
00:43It started from Mindoro and then it went up to Pangasinan and now it's in La Union.
00:52We still don't know where will be the final area where these China Coast Guard vessels will land.
00:59But our two Coast Guard vessels will ensure that we will land here.
01:04This 34 nautical miles yesterday is continuous.
01:11We detected it approaching but it never stayed there for a long time.
