AFP, Nagsalita na - Walang Habulan na Nangyari

Recently, viral in the social media that the Chinese att*ck boat was allegedly chasing the Filipinos in the tense part of the West Philippine Sea. The abs-cbn news crew was with the Filipino fishermen when the inc!dent occurred.

“May lumapit na puting barko ng China Coast Guard at dumidiretso. Nakikita namin na papunta sa direksyon namin yung barko. Maya-maya ay nagradyo ito at sa salitang Ingles ay tinatanong kung sino kami at ano ginagawa namin doon. Kahit kami ay nasa ruta na papauwi ng mainland ay mga isang oras kaming hinabol,” said Abscbn Reporter Chiara Zambrano said in her report.

For the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Western Command (WESCOM), the Chinese Coast Guard did not chase the Filipino boat carrying the Abscbn news crew.

According to AFP Western Command Commander Vice Admiral Ramil Roberto Enriquez, the Chinese were only observing the Filipinos. He added that the Chinese coast guard doubted because the Filipinos did not respond to the radio.

“Kung talagang hinabol kayo no’n, madali niya kayong inabutan. Inoobserbahan lang kayo no’n,. If we follow the dictum of ‘flight is an admission of guilt,’ bigla kayong umalis eh,” said Enriquez.

Vice Admiral Enriquez was not the only one who was hesitant of what the Abs-cbn crew was saying. It will be recalled that some personalities have also reacted about the issue. Some of them was Retired Journalist Jay Sonza.

“Anong boat chase ang pinagsasabi ng t*ngang Kapamilya Reporter? Baka nakabatak ka Inday at nakakita ka ng habulan sa alapaap. Parang may amats ka pa chang,” said Sonza.

Radio host and blogger Mark Lopez also criticized the Abs-cbn report. “Sandali lang, ang trabaho ng media mag report ng news, hindi gumawa ng news. Anung kat*ngahan yung ginawa sa DISPUTED Waters?” said Lopez.

 

“Dahil Araw ng Kagitingan, gumawa kayo ng intriga sa DISPUTED Waters, tapos yung walang credibility pa na reporter, and you expect na maniwala kami?” added Lopez.
