00:00The Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea,

00:03Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad.

00:05Good afternoon, sir.

00:10Rear Admiral.

00:16We will try to get back to you later.

00:18Rear Admiral Trinidad.

00:22We have a problem with the communication line.

00:26My apologies.

00:28Okay.

00:29We will talk about the Pogo later.

00:33I want to know personally

00:36what will happen to the buildings

00:40that will be left by the Pogo.

00:42We will get back to you later.

00:44Rear Admiral,

00:46good afternoon.

00:49Yes, good afternoon to you and Nina.

00:52Good afternoon.

00:53Sir, let's repeat the question earlier.

00:55What will be our stand on the issue of the West Philippine Sea

00:59after President Marcos Jr. condemned

01:02that the government should continue this non-escalatory approach?

01:08You know, sir, our stand has not changed

01:11since the poll.

01:12The guidance is clear,

01:14even before,

01:15to the various government agencies

01:17with their own mandates.

01:19First is our Armed Forces Department of National Defense.

01:22We have been conducting

01:24air surveillance flights.

01:26Even before,

01:27it involved the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Air Force.

01:29The other departments,

01:31like the Coast Guard and BFAR,

01:33they have their own mandate to perform.

01:36This includes the preparation of law enforcement

01:39and providing assistance to our fisher folks.

01:42So each has their own mandate.

01:46So what were the directives of President Marcos Jr.

01:51after the latest incident

01:53in the West Philippine Sea

01:55where the Navy vessel of China was spotted?

02:00Yes, his mandate,

02:02it needs no further elaboration

02:04because it is clear to the Department of National Defense

02:07the guidance of our President

02:09that all our actions should be bound by international law.

02:12All our actions should be non-escalatory.

02:15All our actions should support

02:17the 26th Arbitral Tribunal ruling.

02:19That is also the guidance given

02:21to the Philippine Coast Guard

02:23and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.

02:25So we perform our mandate,

02:27they perform their mandate.

02:28And I would like to emphasize,

02:30and as a heel,

02:31whenever our AFP is not in the scene,

02:34we will continue performing our mandate

02:37in spite of all the ICAD,

02:39the Illegal, Coercive, Aggressive,

02:41and Deceptive Actions of the other.

02:43We will not be deterred.

02:47Sir, for now,

02:48how many more Chinese vessels are visible

02:51in the West Philippine Sea?

02:53Yes, our last report

02:54covering the month of November,

02:56on the 3rd,

02:57we usually give reports, right?

02:59Over the period,

03:00we monitored 50 different vessels,

03:02different times and different locations.

03:0458.

03:07Okay, what steps has the government taken

03:13to protect its rights

03:16in our Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ,

03:19in spite of China's aggressive actions?

03:24Yes, number one,

03:25we will continue conducting

03:28our air surveillance flights

03:30and maritime patrols.

03:31Actually, for the entire year,

03:33the year is almost over,

03:35for the last three years,

03:36we have conducted already

03:38more than 300 different maritime patrols

03:41all over the West Philippine Sea.

03:43We have conducted more,

03:44I think 112, 113 air surveillance flights.

03:49We have conducted

03:50more than 60 different rotary missions.

03:54So, all of these,

03:55we are conducting without any fanfare,

03:57because this is our mandate.

03:59We have a 20 annual report

04:00for the year 2024,

04:02and this is where we can see

04:03the entirety of your DND and AFP

04:06for the West Philippine Sea.

04:09Sir, so that our viewers

04:10can understand,

04:12aside from the Philippine Coast Guard,

04:14how is the monitoring

04:15of the Philippine Navy

04:16in the West Philippine Sea?

04:18How is the monitoring

04:20that you are conducting?

04:22Yes, what we are doing there,

04:24what we call ASIC,

04:25is our all-source monitoring,

04:28all sources of information,

04:30including the various capabilities

04:32of the AFP,

04:33which is not only up to date,

04:35but it is undergoing improvement

04:38because we have a modernization program.

04:41So, we could now cover more areas

04:43of the West Philippine Sea.

04:45Almost 24-7, this is what we can do.

04:49So, how is the strengthening

04:52of the forces and modernization efforts

04:55of the Philippine Navy

04:56so that we can further strengthen

04:58our defense?

05:01This is continuous.

05:03We have the Rehorizon III,

05:06almost $35 billion.

05:08And I said the other day,

05:10last time I had an interview,

05:12this is not a one-shot deal.

05:14This is a continuing effort.

05:16We have midway checks here

05:17to see where we are.

05:19And if we need to improve this,

05:21more will be added.

05:23These are under the Department

05:24of National Defense,

05:25and I would say that we are on track

05:27to hit our targets.

05:30Sir, maybe you can send a message

05:32to our countrymen this Christmas.

05:36Yes, to our countrymen,

05:38first of all,

05:39your Philippine Navy,

05:41Air Force, and Army,

05:42your entire Armed Forces,

05:43we are doing everything

05:45that we can.

05:47We are not thinking

05:48about the season of the year.

05:52Christmas, this is the season,

05:53and our soldiers are still continuing

05:56to ensure the integrity

05:58of our sovereignty,

05:59of our territory.

06:00Your AFP will continue

06:02to carry out its mandate,

06:04not only on land,

06:05but also in the sea.

06:07Okay.

06:08Maraming salamat po

06:09sa inyong oras,
