00:00 Welcome to The Source, where we combine the headlines with in-depth conversations with

00:05 the newsmakers themselves.

00:07 I'm Pinky Webb.

00:08 Today on the program, President Bongbong Marcos debunks China's repeated claims and stands

00:12 pat.

00:13 There's no deal to remove the Philippines' grounded Navy ship from Ayungin Shoal.

00:18 House lawmakers call for a hearing to scrutinize the reclamation projects in Manila Bay.

00:24 The police force faces criticism anew after Navotas cops fatally shoot a teen in a case

00:31 of mistaken identity.

00:33 ACT-CIS party list representative and House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo joins us

00:40 in the program.

00:51 President Bongbong Marcos makes the position of the Philippines crystal clear.

00:55 The BRP, Sierra Madre, will not move an inch in Ayungin Shoal.

00:59 China has repeatedly claimed that the Philippines had promised to remove the grounded Navy ship

01:03 from the West Philippine Sea.

01:05 But Mr. Marcos says he's not aware of any such agreement.

01:09 The president stresses that even if there is any truth to China's claim, he is now revoking

01:15 it.

01:16 I'm not aware of any agreement that the Philippines should remove from its own territory, its

01:27 own ship, the BRP Sierra Madre, from the Ayungin Shoal.

01:34 And let me go further.

01:37 If there does exist such an agreement, I rescind that agreement as of now.

01:44 And let's go straight to the source of the story.

01:46 ACT-CIS party list representative and House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo, Congressman

01:52 Erwin, maraming salamat po sa inyong oras.

01:54 Welcome back to the source.

01:57 Thank you for inviting me, Ms. Pinky.

01:59 Thank you.

02:00 Sir, happy birthday.

02:01 Thank you.

02:02 Also, thank you again.

02:03 Kaligayang kaarawan sa'yo.

02:04 Unahin na po natin yung reaction ninyo to the president's statement.

02:05 Ito ho bang usap-usapan?

02:06 You know, we've been talking about this for a couple of days.

02:07 Now, that China's claiming that the Philippines had committed to tow away this BRP Sierra

02:21 Madre.

02:22 First of all, sir, parang napapansin niyo ho ba?

02:26 Meron kasi akong kausap sa'yo.

02:27 Para tayo nagiging defensive.

02:28 Parang kailangan pa natin patunayan na walang katotohanan yung sinasabing meron tayong commitment.

02:36 What do you think of all this?

02:39 They're lying, Ms. Pinky.

02:41 They're lying.

02:42 I mean they're lying from the very start.

02:44 Yung sinasabing nila na aalisin, may air commitment tayo na aalisin yung barco sa Iungin Shoal,

02:52 yung BRP Sierra Madre.

02:54 And then they were lying, yung kaya nila binomba yung Coast Guard natin ng water canal kasi

03:00 may mga construction material.

03:02 They've been lying ever since so bakit pa kailang mapaniwalaan yung mga tao na yan, di ho ba?

03:09 So talagang unacceptable yung ginawa nila.

03:13 They're just trying to justify yung actions nila.

03:16 Wala naman talaga.

03:18 Hindi pwede i-justify, Ms. Pinky.

03:20 Paano kaya mangyayari, Kong Erwin?

03:24 Kasi ang sabi ng China from last I checked, yung incident sa Iungin Shoal, how they reacted

03:31 or responded to it, and I quote, "professional, restrained, and beyond reproach."

03:37 Nakausap ko po si Senator Risa Ontiveros kahapon.

03:40 Sabi ko nga kapag sabihin na "restrained", para bang nagpigil pa sila.

03:44 Tayo ho ba ay kailangan maghanda ang Coast Guard, ang Navy, well the AFP in general,

03:50 sakaling magkaroon na naman ang resupply mission.

03:53 And surely there will be one that posibly pong the same thing happens, number one, or even

03:59 a worst-case scenario.

04:02 I have a resolution, Ms. Pinky, filed a couple of days ago asking for a joint patrol not

04:10 only with the United States Coast Guard, but other countries like Japan, South Korea, willing

04:17 naman to patrol with us.

04:19 Kasi pag tayo lang yung barko natin, maliliit yung Coast Guard, so talagang nabubuli.

04:26 Whereas yung mga Coast Guards ng other countries, malalaki yung ship nila, hindi nila magalaw-galaw.

04:32 So yung kaya lang nila, kagaya natin, maliliit.

04:34 So the resolution that I filed was to immediately ask the United States and our allies to help

04:41 us patrol the West Philippines.

04:44 Para hindi tayo mabuli.

04:46 Another thing, para makapag-resupply tayo.

04:48 And it's just the Coast Guard.

04:49 Sinasabi ng iba, parang magiging act of war na yan.

04:53 Sabi ko, no, it's not, because it's just Coast Guard also.

04:56 Pinatapat natin is also Coast Guard and Coast Guard of another nation.

05:00 So anong act of war doon?

05:02 Yung nakikita nyo ba, sir, were you inclined to look into the ships that China uses, because

05:09 it does say China Coast Guard.

05:13 Sigurado ba tayo na Coast Guard yun?

05:16 "Nagtataka nga ako, Ms. Pinky, na masyado siyang malaki para siyang naval vessel.

05:24 We don't know.

05:25 Baka may arm yan ng missiles or something or ng laser.

05:29 So kailangan talagang bantayan na mabuti itong mga barco po ng China Coast Guard."

05:36 Meron talaga silang laser.

05:38 If you remember, sir, a couple of months ago, hindi ba nagkaroon ng laser pointing that

05:42 military grade but they were saying it is not military grade.

05:45 Also, I want to add, Col.

05:48 Erwin, ito kasing mga Chinese militia, napakarami po niyan.

05:52 Meron po ako nakausap na si Mr. Ray Powell, who is a security expert from the United States.

05:58 Ang sabi niyan, nung nangyari itong issue sa Iungin Shoal, kailan ho ba ito?

06:03 Itong Sabado.

06:04 Okay.

06:05 "July 15."

06:06 Opo, July 15, he claims, July 15 or July 16, upon their monitoring, meron daw sila nakita

06:13 ang tinawag nilang the monster ship of the Chinese Coast Guard, ang tawag yung pinakamalaki

06:19 nilang barco, nakita daw doon sa Miss Chief Reef.

06:22 And there were about 30 to 40 Chinese militia vessels.

06:26 Sabihin po natin, itabi na natin yung Chinese Coast Guard, ano ho ba yung karapatan ng mga

06:33 Chinese militia vessels sa West Philippine Sea?

06:37 "Kumbaga, sa ko, is additional for their security, parang to patrol to help their Coast Guard.

06:48 Pero actually, Ms. Pink, according to information that I am getting, lahat ito, remember, they

06:56 built a naval and air base there in the West Philippine Sea.

07:00 Doon sila nagja-jump off from China.

07:03 Pag umalis ito mga ito, nag-aankla lang doon sa base na yun na ginawa nila, man-made island

07:11 dyan sa West Philippine Sea.

07:13 Ironically, it was constructed by China Construction Corporation, a Beijing company, owned company.

07:22 And now this same company is working on our reclamation in Manila Bay.

07:29 I don't know, but I have videos, Ms. Pink, na yung Manila Bay right now, parang nakaparahat

07:36 na yung mga Chinese militia vessels, about a hundred of them.

07:40 Ito ngayon naging concern, Speaker Romualde, sa napakadami daw mga barako dyan ng China.

07:46 And then he's been receiving reports that the crew or crews of these Chinese vessels,

07:53 they come down at night to party in Pasay, Ross Boulevard or even in Boa.

08:00 And I said sir, baka hindi po, okay lang, kung talagang kaparty.

08:03 What if members ito ng People's Liberation Army or intelligence community of China getting

08:11 information right now in Metro Manila, then naglalagay sa alanganin our national security

08:20 o baka na-compromise na ang siguridad ng ating bayan.

08:24 So immediately we filed a resolution the other day in aid of legislation to investigate this

08:31 concern of the Speaker na nakakababa ito mga Chinese crew vessels dito sa Metro Manila,

08:41 where they should not be, they're not allowed to come down.

08:45 There's so many questions regarding that, sir.

08:47 So you're talking about the resolution that you filed, House Bill 1171, if I'm not mistaken,

08:54 ito po yun.

08:55 Ang pagkaintindi ko po dito is to investigate the dredging of Chinese companies in Manila

09:00 Bay.

09:01 Just for clarity, sir, ito ho ba, tama ho ba to investigate Chinese companies dredging

09:06 in Manila Bay?

09:08 Is it to investigate the crew of these ships or is it to investigate all the reclamation

09:14 project in Manila Bay, sir?

09:16 Actually, there's already a resolution filed earlier by the Makabayan bloc regarding this

09:24 matter.

09:25 When this started, I think they filed last year, they contradict that they don't want

09:31 to go against the reclamation for reasons of environmental problems.

09:37 Yung finahil ko naman is security reasons dahil niya, atsaka and at the same time, yung

09:48 issue about our fishermen, our hotel and restaurant workers, mawawalan sila ng trabaho.

09:52 I want that Congress will look into this.

09:55 So kailangan isoma ng PRA, isoma ng labor, Coast Guard, immigration to look into this.

10:04 We will just wait.

10:05 Tomorrow, next week, it will be assigned to a committee kung sino ang ... But I believe

10:11 this will be a joint committee hearing on this matter.

10:15 Probably labor, probably environment, community environment, and also peace and order.

10:23 Peace and order, right.

10:25 So ihiwalay po natin yun.

10:27 Meron po yung Makabayan on the reclamation activities.

10:30 Itatabi nyo po yun yung inyo.

10:33 Maliban po dun, your resolution looks into the security concerns, tama ho ba, of what,

10:40 sir?

10:41 I just want to be clear.

10:42 Is it of Chinese companies involved in the reclamation projects or all those ships, kung

10:48 sino, ano man saan silang galing, ano man ang kanilang nationality, yung mga crew na

10:53 nandon?

10:54 Lahat ho ba?

10:55 O Chinese lamang?

10:56 Lahat ng crew, Miss Pinky.

10:59 Pero nag-surveillance yung mga tao ko yesterday, the other day, and may video.

11:06 Halos lahat, I think about 50 or 60 ships, puro Chinese yung markings.

11:13 So pero hindi lang Chinese.

11:15 Pero kung Filipino siya, bakit na natin kailang investigahan?

11:18 Yung mga foreign vessels lang siguro after yung sinasabi ng U.S. embassy na itong Chinese

11:26 construction company is involved sa construction ng military base ng China, pagkatapos yung

11:33 info ni speaker na bumababa yung mga crew sa gabi at namamasyal.

11:38 Lahat ng ito, Miss Pinky, ipagsasama-kasama natin para isang hearing na lang sa ikang isang

11:44 joint or committee hearing, Miss Pinky.

11:46 Sir can you tell me more about your conversation with Speaker Martin Romualdez because I did

11:52 read about that.

11:54 There's a lot.

11:56 I think he's supposed to be abroad.

11:59 Did you speak on the phone?

12:00 Who initiated what?

12:02 At bakit po?

12:03 Can you just give me more information?

12:04 How this all began?

12:07 Immediately after he landed from an Indonesian trip, yung nga, yung isara niya yung rice

12:16 export in China to the Philippines, Vietnam.

12:18 I mean, not China, but Vietnam.

12:21 So immediately after he landed, I was having a meeting with the House Appropriations Chairman

12:29 Sal Dico.

12:30 That night when they arrived, he called up Chairman Ko, nangusta, and then sabi ni Congressman

12:39 Ko, we're talking about dito sa Manila Bay reclamation.

12:42 That's when he said, "Oh by the way, as Tulfo, I've been hearing there are crews na mga Chinese

12:49 vessels sa reclamation na bumaba ba sa Manila Bay.

12:53 Ask him to look into this the next day."

12:55 So that's what I did.

12:56 I dispatched my staff, yung video team ko.

13:00 They went around Manila Bay at nakunan ng mga videos.

13:03 Positive nga na almost 50 or 60 na mga vessels dyan ay may mga Chinese markings, Ms. Pinky.

13:10 Ito siguring sinasabi ng Speaker na bumaba ba at night.

13:14 So we asked the Coast Guard and Coast Guard said it's not our job.

13:17 It's Bureau of Immigration to monitor.

13:20 But Immigration is also saying, "No, that's not our job.

13:23 It's Coast Guard."

13:24 Dahil galing sa dagat yung mga tao niya.

13:26 So nagkakaroon ng finger pointing, so who is responsible.

13:30 The question now is, so who is watching these people coming down every night on our shores

13:37 and we don't know kung talaga nagpa-party lang or baka kumukuha na ng mga information,

13:43 thereby threatening our national security, Ms. Pinky.

13:46 This needs to be talked about further but we need to take a short break.

13:51 This is The Source on CNN Philippines.

13:52 Please stay tuned.

14:00 You're watching The Source on CNN Philippines.

14:02 I'm Pinky Webb.

14:03 Our source today, ACT-CIS Party List Representative and House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tufo.

14:08 So I wanted to find out more about that.

14:10 Nagpa-surveillance po kayo sa inyong mga staff, sa team ninyo.

14:15 So 50 to 60 na mga barkong nakita.

14:19 Tapos ano yun, dumadaong, they use a smaller boat, sir, to go to land.

14:26 Ganun ho ba yon?

14:29 Unfortunately, yung mga Filipinos na may mga banka dyan sa Maypasay, dyan sa Paranaque,

14:37 yun ang tinatak nila.

14:38 Dyan sila sumasakay for a fee.

14:41 Parang taxi, water taxi.

14:43 Susunduin sila and then ibabalik sila pagkatapos ng happy happy daw ng 2 or 3 a.m.

14:50 So that's what's happening.

14:51 No, these Chinese ships, they're involved in the dredging, itong pagkatatambak ng lupa

14:56 dyan sa Pasay.

14:58 So they're anchored there and they've been there for several months now, Ms. Pinky.

15:04 And this really is a problem sa mga establishments, not establishments but mga kababayan natin,

15:15 yung mga fishermen, yung mga hotel and restaurant workers.

15:20 They don't know what future they will have pag natabunan ng lupa yung entire Manila Bay,

15:27 Ms. Pinky."

15:28 In fact the President said hindi na daw niya makita yung tubig sa Manila Bay.

15:32 So babalikan ko lang po ito, sir.

15:34 Hope you don't mind.

15:35 So parang meron po silang water taxi, sabi niyo, mula dun sa malaking barko na nakadao

15:39 nga doon, naka-anchor because they're involved possibly in dredging activities.

15:44 They go to land and they party, sabi niyo nga.

15:48 Saan nun sila nagpupunta?

15:51 There's a lot of, ika nga, restaurants and KTV bars along Pasay, along Baklaran.

16:00 So pag napansin mo Ms. Pinky, magdumaan ka lang dyan.

16:04 I go to Baklaran because every Wednesday, ang dami na dyan ng mga Chinese characters

16:08 ng mga KTV.

16:10 So syempre yung matitina-cater noon, yung mga Chinese clients po, hindi po Filipino dahil

16:15 hindi mo naman maintindihan yung ano nakasulat doon sa labas, it's Chinese characters.

16:19 Talagang yung purpose noon are for Chinese citizens probably working in our Pogos and

16:25 then dito nga.

16:26 But this project has been going on for half a year now.

16:30 Six months na.

16:31 Padami-padami yung barko Ms. Pinky.

16:32 Dabadami sila every day.

16:36 Sir, I remember you said that there's a concern, a possible security, possible lang naman po

16:42 security concern regarding this.

16:44 My question is number one, if they are workers in those 50 to 60 ships that are anchored

16:51 in Manila Bay for reclamation projects, number one, are they allowed to go to land?

16:58 Yun muna.

16:59 Number two, sino ba dapat ang nagbabantay?

17:04 Could you respond to those questions, sir?

17:07 That's why I asked the Philippine Coast Guard and the Coast Guard's saying it is the responsibility

17:14 of the Bureau of Immigration.

17:16 When I talked to the spokesman of the Bureau of Immigration and he said like I think Congressman

17:22 it is the job of the Philippine Coast Guard kasi nasa dagat po yan.

17:26 So lumalabas Ms. Pinky, nobody's watching these people.

17:31 You know na isang ship naglalaman ng 20-30 na crew.

17:36 So you multiply that 20 or 30.

17:38 Sabihin nalang 1920 times 50.

17:41 So ganun kadami.

17:42 Parang 1,000 na tao.

17:43 Pero hindi naman siguro lahat bumababa yun by the hundreds na siguro every night.

17:49 But yet, but then, syempre, nakakatakot na rin.

17:52 We do not know.

17:53 Wala nang magmonitor.

17:54 Sabi ng immigration, no they cannot.

17:55 They do not have working visas.

17:56 So hindi sila pwedeng bumaba.

17:57 Para silang ordinario lang ng mga crew ng barko na hindi sila pwedeng bumaba.

17:58 So dapat pala, nananatiri lang sila doon sa barko.

17:59 Now here's the question, sir.

18:00 Pending your resolution, what is the status of the Philippine Coast Guard?

18:01 Is there anything that can be done at the moment prior to hearing your reso?

18:31 The speaker and the president are communicating almost every day.

18:34 So I wasn't surprised when the president gave the instruction immediately after we filed

18:40 the resolution.

18:41 Siguro parang minutes pa lang or about an hour later when we filed it in Congress, the

18:46 president issued a directive na all reclamation project will have to cease or stop.

18:53 And that's what PRA is waiting right now to find out kung ito stop indefinitely or temporarily

18:59 kasi the president said isa na lang ang maiiwan.

19:01 So PRA according to them when I talk to them are just waiting or just waiting for the instruction

19:07 of the president at kung ano yung maiiwan.

19:10 So it's a welcome news development.

19:13 Ibig sabihin everybody has to stop.

19:16 Siguro naman the Bureau of Immigration listening to us right now, our Coast Guard will do something

19:20 about it.

19:21 Bantayan yung shores natin yan sa Ross Boulevard making sure walang nakakababa ngayon ng mga

19:27 crew member ng mga vessels na yan, Ms. Pinky.

19:30 And that appeal of yours, you feel should be done as soon as possible?

19:34 Kailangan po meron na magbantay ngayon pa lang?

19:38 Yes, because when I talked to them the other day, they're pointing at each other.

19:43 So it means to say, hindi sa amin yan sa immigration yan.

19:48 Si immigration naman hindi sa amin yan, si Coast Guard yan.

19:51 So walang nagbabantay, Ms. Pinky.

19:53 Ibig sabihin nun, ito mga tao nito malaya nakakababa.

19:57 That is the problem.

19:58 Kaya nangamba ang ating speaker na pakitignan mo nga kasi may natanggap ako na balita na

20:04 bumababa sila.

20:05 And true enough, nung tanongin ko yung dalawang agencies, they're saying it's not my job,

20:10 it's his job.

20:11 So they're finger-pointing dito sa incident na ito, sa issue na ito, Ms. Pinky.

20:18 Ako ni Pangulong Marcos, as you mentioned a while ago, all projects, reclamation projects

20:24 are suspended except for one.

20:26 Kong Erwin, do you know ano po yung project na matutuloy?

20:29 Kasi kahit po yung PRA hindi alam.

20:33 Well, I believe according to the PRA, when I asked them kung ano, they're saying they

20:39 want to, they will look first.

20:40 Kasi the President said may isa daw diyan talagang nakasunod sa guidelines, sa requirements,

20:46 sa rules.

20:47 Pero yung iba, actually lima yata or five or six are ongoing right now.

20:53 Pero 22 ang hindi pa nagagawa.

20:56 Imagine 22 pa.

20:58 So tigil na yung 22, hindi na matutuloy yun.

21:01 At tigil na rin yata yung lima na yun.

21:03 Isa na lang may iwan sa five na yun.

21:06 We don't know yet.

21:07 Pero yung the President said, if I can recall, he was saying na kasi sumunod yun sa rules

21:15 or not rules, kundi requirements.

21:17 I heard the same thing, sir.

21:19 You know it's good you mentioned that because I was also trying to look into the numbers.

21:25 It's important to find out number one, ilan ho ba talaga yung projects in Manila Bay currently

21:32 being constructed.

21:34 Number two, yung merong notice to proceed, iba po yun.

21:38 Tapos meron pa po yung pending.

21:40 It will be really important to have a whole siguro grasp on how many projects are there

21:48 at the moment and how many again are pending.

21:50 But let's take, I'll take another short break.

21:53 The source will be right back.

22:00 You're watching the Source on CNN Philippines.

22:02 I'm Pinky Webb, our source today.

22:04 ACT-CIS Party List Representative, House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tufo.

22:07 Cong, baka you can show that, pwede ba, you're showing me during the break.

22:12 Can you explain that please?

22:14 I don't know how clear it is.

22:16 Okay.

22:17 I'll play it.

22:18 Ito yung surveillance yung mga tao namin.

22:20 There, may maliit na barko, bangka.

22:24 And then, I'm sorry.

22:27 That's fine sir.

22:28 May bumababa.

22:29 May bumababa siya.

22:30 May bumababa na tao doon para sumakay sa maliit na bangka.

22:37 So nakuna namin.

22:38 So tama po yung information ni speaker na yung crew bumababa Miss Pinky.

22:44 Hindi lang medyo malinaw dito sa camera ko.

22:49 We found out and wala nagbabantay.

22:52 That is the problem.

22:53 Pero talagang yung crew niyo nakita na hanggang sa... hindi lang po siya diyan...

23:02 Saan sila pupunta Miss Pinky kung sasakay na sila diyan.

23:06 May bumababa sila sa lupa.

23:09 At saka yan, hindi part ng barko.

23:12 Yan ay inarke lang nila.

23:13 Dito sa atin registered yung maliit na lancha na yan.

23:17 Ang tawad yan, lancha.

23:19 Opo.

23:20 Opo.

23:21 Okay.

23:22 Thanks for that Congressman.

23:23 Okay.

23:24 So we'll wait for...

23:25 Kailan huw kaya...

23:26 When will the House begin to hear this resolution sir?

23:28 This resolution rather?

23:31 Hopefully it will be assigned on Monday to a committee and then we will keep you posted

23:36 immediately Miss Pinky.

23:37 Pero of course may urgency itong hearing na ito and may instructions na rin ang Speaker

23:43 of the House yesterday when we had a meeting na madaliin itong issue na ito.

23:50 Kasi we were so busy Miss Pinky and then budget deliberation, hearing is coming up so we really

23:56 have to fast track.

23:57 Ngayon may mga sunod-sunod na meeting sa MVP.

24:01 Meron pang gusto si Speaker last night kaya kami pinatawag and yung senior lawmakers because

24:09 he noticed that the onions, the prices are going up again after it went down to around

24:15 90 pesos when they were conducting investigation na umakit na naman sa 190, 180.

24:22 So it really concerned him.

24:23 Gusto niya pakilusin ng NBI, PNP to conduct a raid sa warehouses and cold storage and

24:30 even gave warning sa mga traders and hoarders na to ilabas nila yung kanilang mga onions.

24:38 Otherwise, re-raid din, makakasuhan sila pati mga cold storage owners.

24:42 Pag hindi pa rin umuga, babahin yung market ng onions na manggagaling sa importation,

24:54 of course upon the approval of the President Miss Pinky.

24:57 That was already a threat sir by the President remember during his State of the Nation address.

25:02 Bilang ng mga oras ninyo mga hoarders and smugglers and now you have the Speaker saying

25:07 bantayan natin ito ulit.

25:09 They're taking advantage Miss Pinky.

25:11 Nakafocus kasi ang government sa West Philippine Sea.

25:15 Ngayon may reclamation and then meron pang story yung New Bolivian prison na nagkakagulun

25:22 toon. So all this, ang tingin namin ng leadership ng Congress is ginagamit ng mga traders and

25:29 hoarders. Sige habang busy dito ang gobyerno, why don't we do this. Taasan natin unti-unti

25:35 ang presyo.

25:36 Meron pa nga daw Miss Pinky, nasa P200 per kilo ng onions. Pero yung sinasabi na importation

25:46 of onions, yun ay gagawin lang. Ngayon wala na sa kamay ng farmers, ng onion growers yung

25:52 products nila na i-benta na nila. So this is the right time to import from overseas ng

25:58 mga onions. Mas mura doon. The government or the importers can sell it to 90 pesos per

26:04 kilo. So malaking kabawasan. Yun ang sinasabi ng gobyerno. Sige pag hindi nyo inilabas yan,

26:12 mabubulok yung mga stocks ninyo, babahayin namin ang market ng mga imported na sibuyas,

26:18 then babagsak yung presyo."
