00:00Well, if China really believes and is concerned about peace and stability in the region, they
00:11should abide by the international law.
00:14They should also respect the sovereignty of each country.
00:19We are not.
00:20The Philippines is no one's chess piece.
00:23We are an independent country.
00:25So whatever we will do, whatever our projects will be regarding our military operations,
00:35this is already up to us.
00:39No one can interfere here.
00:42We are independent and no one should interfere in any decision of our government.
