00:00America, New Zealand and the United Nations are laughing at the rise of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN Summit today.
00:08On the other hand, with a high official of China, yesterday, President Bumbo Marcos boldly denounced the harassments committed by the Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea.
00:19Live from the Lao People's Democratic Republic, our first news is with Ivan Mayrina. Ivan.
00:30Good morning, Ivan. Good morning, Kapuso. We are here in the Lao PDR, 6.18 in the morning, 7.18 here in the Philippines.
00:39As you have mentioned, Ivan, there were many news, not only in the Philippines, but also in foreign news outlets.
00:46President Bumbo Marcos made a statement in the Leaders' Retreat and also in the ASEAN-China Summit yesterday,
00:52where in front of a high official of China, he denounced his fellow leaders in ASEAN,
00:58the so-called aggressive and illegal actions of China in the South China Sea.
01:04At the same time, he called for the creation of a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea,
01:10and this should be done quickly.
01:12China's actions show their continued expansion in international law.
01:16Despite positive developments in China's dialogues, the situation remains tense
01:22and the Philippines continues to experience harassment and threats from the China Coast Guard and the Chinese military.
01:29In a separate statement at the ASEAN-Japan Summit, the President said that there is a so-called transnational problem,
01:35the aggressive actions in the East and South China Sea that affect the peace and stability of the region,
01:42and that ASEAN should take care of maritime security and territorial integrity.
01:46Although not many countries in ASEAN are willing to join the Philippines in this discussion,
01:52because of their major trading partner, China,
01:54the President insisted that economic cooperation should not be separated from political security.
02:00In addition, the President urged fellow ASEAN leaders not to be confused
02:05with China's illegal and aggressive actions in the South China Sea.
02:09This action is clear in the ASEAN's intention to face the enemies against its members
02:14and the peace in the middle of these countries, which is weakening in ASEAN.
02:19This is not a killing in a pan, but a continuation of the rules-based international order
02:24and compliance with international law.
02:26Meanwhile, in a statement, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that
02:31the situation in the South China Sea is generally stable
02:34and that they remain committed to fixing maritime differences
02:38through dialogue and consultation based on historical facts and international law.
02:44They are committed to any action and they will continue to protect their sovereignty.
02:49China will continue to coordinate with ASEAN countries
02:53to implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea
02:58and to implement the Code of Conduct.
03:02This morning is the last day of the ASEAN Summit.
03:06First on the schedule is the ASEAN-U.S. Summit
03:10where various parties are discussing the issue in the South China Sea.
03:17Ivan, let me go back to what the President said
03:21in front of the ASEAN members.
03:23This is a brave move to bully and harass.
03:26What information did you receive?
03:28Is the leader of China drowning in his seat or not?
03:37Ivan, we don't have access to the actual interventions
03:41and Malacanang didn't release a video when the President mentioned those things.
03:47But the only thing that was released was the Chinese Embassy.
03:52We don't know the actual reaction of Premier Li Chang.
03:56We don't know.
03:57Although other ASEAN leaders have joined the position of the Philippines,
04:01like Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong,
04:05he acknowledged the risk that the tensions in the West Philippine Sea could escalate.
04:12There could be an accident that could lead to a war.
04:17Bayang will talk later in Pulong with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
04:26This is one of the major issues that the U.S. is pushing.
04:32We know that the U.S. is our ally in this issue.
04:36Aside from that, the trade drought in the South China Sea is important.
04:40The U.S. is also interested in a free and peaceful route.
04:45If not, there will be consequences or repercussions in the international trade
04:51if there is chaos in the South China Sea.
04:55Iban, are you going straight home with the President of the Philippines?
05:01Yes, Igan. Our last schedule will be a press conference.
05:06We will be here at 4 p.m. or 5 p.m.
05:09After that, we will go back to the Philippines.
05:11We expect to arrive in the Philippines at 10 p.m.
05:16Congratulations Igan Kadyan.
05:18Thank you very much.
