00:00President Bongbong Marcos will be challenged in China.
00:03He will stop the harassment in the West Philippine Sea
00:06and he will return the Typhoon Missile System of America.
00:09In the meantime, the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines is still inside the ships of the China Coast Guard.
00:15Here is my first news.
00:18Vessel 9701.
00:21This is China Coast Guard Vessel 3304.
00:24The so-called award for South China Sea arbitration is illegal and invalid.
00:29This is a radio challenge of the ships of the China Coast Guard
00:32to the BRP Teresa Magbanua of the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:35You are advised that you are currently sailing within a Philippine exclusive economic zone
00:40approximately 102 nautical miles southwest of Caponis Point, Zambales, Philippines.
00:45According to the PCG, the radio challenge of their ships to the ships of China is still going on for hours.
00:51They have been sailing for almost a month and are approaching the Zambales area.
00:55There are four CCG ships sailing around Bajo de Bacinlok or Scarborough Shoal
01:00along with their monster ship.
01:02The BRP Teresa Magbanua is monitoring the ships of China alone.
01:07On January 13, the National Maritime Council said
01:11that the diplomatic protest of the Philippines
01:13is against the maintenance of the ships and helicopters of China
01:16in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
01:19Less than a week after this, two incidents of harassment were recorded by the PCG.
01:24On January 24, the Marine Scientific Survey and Sand Sampling of the BFAR
01:29in Sandy Cay in the West Philippine Sea
01:31because of the harassment of the CCG ships and helicopters of the People's Liberation Army Navy of China.
01:38On January 25, the Long Range Acoustic Device or LRAD was used by the BRP Cabra of the PCG in Zambales.
01:45Although according to the China Coast Guard, their ships do not have LRAD.
01:49Aside from that, there are other incidents of harassing of CCG ships,
01:54water cannons, and other harassments in the past year.
01:59Usually, we file diplomatic protest weekly.
02:01Guess how many diplomatic protests we filed last year?
02:0352.
02:04The year before, 52.
02:06The year before that, 200 tests because sometimes it becomes daily.
02:10President Bongbong Marcos has a challenge to China.
02:13Let's make a deal with China.
02:15Stop claiming our territory.
02:18Stop harassing our fishermen and let them have a living.
02:22Stop ramming our boats.
02:24Stop water cannoning our people.
02:28Stop firing lasers at us.
02:31Stop your aggressive and coercive behavior.
02:35And return the Typhoon missiles.
02:38Stop what you are doing.
02:40I will return all of them.
02:41President Marcos said this when asked about China's condemnation of the American Typhoon Missile System in the Philippines.
02:48China has repeatedly accused the American Typhoon Missile System of being able to fly Tomahawk missiles
02:54to China and Russia from the Philippines.
03:00I don't understand the comments on the Typhoon Missile System.
03:03We don't make any comments on their missile systems.
03:05And their missile systems are a thousand times more powerful than what we have.
03:10So, I don't understand.
03:12China has yet to make a statement about this.
03:14The biggest ally of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea is America.
03:18The President confirmed that they were stopped by US President Donald Trump.
03:22Even though it is possible for the US to talk about a new immigration policy
03:26where hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are affected.
03:29We will see how we can influence the policy making in terms of immigration.
03:38The President also plans to implement the finance freeze implemented by the US to all of its foreign aid.
03:44Especially, this is not clear, even to the agencies of the US government.
03:50This is the first news.
