Naniniwala ang Armed Forces of the Philippines na mas nakakabuti ang pananatili sa bansa ng missile launcher ng Amerika sa kabila ng pahayag ng China na pang-uudyok umano ito ng gulo dahil may kakayahang umabot sa katimugang bahagi ng mainland China.

00:00The Armed Forces of the Philippines believes that it is better for America's missile launcher to stay in the country,
00:09despite China's statement that it will cause chaos because it has the ability to reach the southern part of mainland China.
00:20Chino Gaston is right.
00:22On one side of the Ilocos Norte, there is a missile system of America, the Typhoon, a mid-range capability or MRC missile launcher of the U.S.
00:35It was brought to the Philippines during the U.S.-Philippine exercises in April and was not released by the Philippines.
00:42The remaining Typhoon launchers in Luzon and subsequent purchases of ships, airplanes, and other weapons of the Philippines were bought by China.
00:51China called it a source of chaos and arms race in the region.
00:56Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. replied.
01:00If they say there is an arms race, they are bigger.
01:04They should set an example.
01:06They should destroy their nuclear arsenal.
01:08They should remove their ballistic capability.
01:12They should destroy the Mischief Reef and other artificial islands.
01:18They should leave the West Philippine Sea.
01:21They are saying it's an arms race, but they are the first.
01:27It looks like they are separated.
01:30But why is China in charge of maintaining the Typhoon missile launcher in the country?
01:36The launcher can carry cruise missiles up to 1,600 kilometers according to Reuters.
01:44If you look at the map, the eastern part of mainland China and any part of the West Philippine Sea is within its strike range.
01:52For AFP Chief General Romeo Bronner, it is better for the country to maintain the missile launcher here.
01:59If I were given the choice, I would like to have the Typhoons here in the Philippines forever.
02:06We need that for our defense.
02:11We mentioned our intention that if possible, the Typhoons should remain here in the Philippines.
02:20And how did the U.S. response?
02:22Well, nothing yet. We're still waiting for their response.
02:26According to Reuters, according to a senior government official, the U.S. has no plans to pull out the Typhoons.
02:33Secretary Teodoro and General Bronner visited the opening of the Asian Defense and Security Expo in Pasay City
02:40where all kinds of new weapons such as smart bombs, missiles, armored vehicles, surveillance systems, and military drones are displayed.
02:49This logistics UAV can carry 50 kgs, can be used for delivery inland and on ship as well.
02:59We attuned these drones to work in the sea, maritime, and more than four nodes can fly together and work together to execute a task.
03:12It is not an arms race for the Philippines to continue buying military equipment such as fighter jets like this
03:22but to have enough capabilities to defend themselves on land, sea, or ship.
03:30For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, for 24 Hours.
