00:00An Intercontinental Ballistic Missile was lost in the Pacific Ocean of China.
00:05It is clear that China is not targeting any country and that it is in accordance with international law.
00:11Before that, China insisted that the Philippines should remove the American Typhoon Missile System from our country.
00:18First news, Chino Gaston.
00:23In April, the Philippines brought the Typhoon Midrange Capability or MRC Missile Launcher of America.
00:29It is a part of the U.S. and Philippine Army's strategic exercise.
00:33Before that, China has already given up and in the past few months,
00:37they have repeatedly insisted that the missile system should be removed from the Philippines.
00:42But the Typhoon Missile System is still here in the country,
00:45according to the satellite image obtained by Reuters.
00:48It was found in a field in Ilocos Norte.
00:51The Typhoon is capable of launching missiles in a range of 1,600 kilometers.
00:56From the outside, it covers the entire Philippines, the entire Taiwan,
01:01some parts of the southeast of China, and the West Philippine Sea.
01:04It also includes some artificial islands of China, such as Mischief or Panganiban Reef,
01:09where the GMA Integrated News has witnessed several times
01:12that military equipment such as radars and long runways of China are growing.
01:18This Thursday, Reuters reported that America has no plans to remove the Typhoon Missile System from the Philippines.
01:25And the two countries are trying if it is possible to use the missile system in the Philippines in case of a chaos.
01:32That's why China again insisted to remove the Typhoon from the Philippines,
01:36which is a threat to the security of the region and is causing tension.
01:41But if the next leader of the Armed Forces of the Philippines is the one to be followed,
01:44If I were given the choice, I would like to have the Typhoons here in the Philippines forever.
01:52Because we need it for our defense.
01:55We mentioned our intention that if possible, the Typhoons here in the Philippines should remain.
02:04And how did the U.S. respond, sir?
02:06Well, nothing yet. We're still waiting for their response.
02:11The Armed Forces of the Philippines did not increase their arms race
02:15for the continuous purchase of military equipment such as fighter jets like this,
02:22but to have enough capabilities to defend themselves on land, sea or sea.
02:30If they say they have an arms race, they are bigger,
02:34they should set an example, destroy their nuclear arsenal,
02:38remove their ballistic capability,
02:41destroy their mischief reef,
02:44and the other artificial islands they made.
02:48If they leave the West Philippine Sea,
02:51they are saying they have an arms race,
02:55but after all, they are the first.
02:57It looks like they are separated.
03:00Meanwhile, the Chinese Defense Ministry said that China lost
03:04the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in the Pacific Ocean
03:07as part of their annual training.
03:10There were many warheads loaded with missiles,
03:12and it was not directed to any country.
03:16This is the first news, Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
03:37.
