00:00China's Shandong aircraft carrier entered the Philippine archipelagic waters.

00:06It was first spotted on April 22 and got as close as just two nautical miles from Babuyan Islands.

00:13It was accompanied by six other warships and two support vessels.

00:18The Naval Forces Northern Luzon and the AUFP Northern Luzon Command

00:21immediately deployed maritime assets to monitor and radio the Chinese warships, but there was no response.

00:28While the normal procedure is for warship or foreign ship to reply,

00:33there are some instances na hindi sumasagot ang mga ito.

00:36This is one particular instance that the Shandong carrier battle did not give any reply.

00:41At the moment, it was challenged.

00:42According to the Philippine Navy, this is the first time that a Chinese aircraft carrier

00:47has come this close to the country's coastline.

00:50Its sailing was expeditious and it was last monitored 115 nautical miles east of Santa Ana, Cagayan.

00:58It is within our territorial waters, but we cannot say for certain if they boast a real threat

01:03because their passage was expeditious.

01:06Despite rising tensions and various incidents in the West Philippine Sea,

01:10diplomatic efforts continue to be the consideration.

01:14This includes the ongoing push for a South China Sea code of conduct.

01:18According to Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo,

01:21all of ASEAN member states are hoping it will be finalized by next year,

01:26when the Philippines will be the host country of the ASEAN summit.

01:30China is said to be among the countries with a commitment to the development of the South China Sea code of conduct

01:35with the goal of reaching a unified consensus under its framework.

01:39It's contentious in the sense that there are issues that need to get the consensus of all countries.

01:45But as the president said, we still have to address important issues such as the spoke of the code,

01:53also the nature of the code and its relation also to the declaration of the code principles

02:00it adopted in 2002 on the South China Sea.

02:03Well, we're all politically committed to achieving having a code by next year,

02:09but we'll see. We'll try our best.

02:11Meanwhile, Philippine officials in China continue to monitor the situation

02:15of three Filipinos arrested for alleged espionage.

02:19The government has extended assistance to the families of the Filipinos from Palawan.

02:24Kasi nawalan ng hanap buhay yung kanilang mga mahal sa buhay na nandun nga sa China at na-aresto.

02:30Medyo mahirap kasi yung pamilya, hindi ito middle class.

02:34The NSC also asserts that the arrests were questionable

02:38and that the supposed confessions by the three Filipinos

02:41who were beneficiaries of a sisterhood agreement scholarship program

02:45between Palawan and Hainan province appeared to be scripted.

02:49Ang balita ko, nagdadalawang isip ng ibang mga local government units,

02:53they're reviewing their sisterhood agreements with China.

02:55Kasi tinamo naman ito, yung beneficiaries mismo ng sisterhood agreements

02:59ang pinagbibintangang espia ng Pilipinas.

03:02Patrick De Jesus from The National TV for a new and better Philippines.
