00:00 The members of the ASEAN supported the position of the Philippines in many aspects regarding the South China Sea.
00:06 In Taiwan, where there are air raid shelters, some Filipinos there are prepared to take action.
00:13 That is the joint force that is being targeted by Ivan Mayrina and JP Suryan.
00:18 In the talks between President Bongbong Marcos and him on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit,
00:26 US Vice President Kamala Harris strengthened the support of the Philippines
00:30 to ensure the free and open South China Sea.
00:33 The President also talked to Chinese Premier Li Qiang,
00:36 although it is not clear if the China Coast Guard talked about aggressive actions.
00:40 The President said that the Philippines will continue to help China.
00:45 In the Chairman's Statement issued by ASEAN last night,
00:47 the ASEAN member states supported the position of the Philippines in many aspects regarding the issue of the South China Sea.
00:53 The next step is to ask for permission from some members of the land reclamation
00:57 and aggressive actions that are putting the safety and safety of the marine environment at risk.
01:03 The statement supported the call to avoid all actions that could raise tensions in the South China Sea
01:09 and to resolve any disputes under the international law.
01:13 But the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea has not yet been agreed upon and it was called for "quickly".
01:18 But the Indonesian President and ASEAN Chairman Joko Widodo reminded earlier,
01:23 "We have a shared responsibility to not create new conflicts,
01:29 to not create new tensions,
01:33 to not create new wars.
01:37 These high tensions, to soften hot conditions,
01:42 to create rooms for dialogue,
01:46 and to bridge existential differences."
01:50 It seems that this is in line with the President's intervention.
01:53 We continue to urge all parties to exercise self-restraint
01:57 and refrain from unilateral and assertive activities that would increase tensions.
02:03 But at the same time, there are still things that should be opposed.
02:07 We must oppose the dangerous use of coast guard and maritime militia vessels in the South China Sea,
02:13 the militarization of reclaimed features in the South China Sea.
02:18 According to maritime law expert, Attorney Jay Batong Bacala,
02:21 words are important but actions should also be taken.
02:24 It is important for ASEAN to be united with small countries.
02:30 If that happens, China will be careful.
02:35 That's why he always says, "Bilateral discussion, bilateral."
02:39 Because he knows that if he is bigger and smaller country, he will even attack the smaller country.
02:45 No countries have agreed to the declaration of their participation in the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Indonesia,
02:51 in line with the 10-line map of China.
02:54 This is different from the 9-line that was declared "no visa" by the 2016 Arbitral Ruling
03:00 because the extra line was added to prevent Taiwan from joining.
03:05 That's why it's a big issue here in Taiwan that they believe they are an independent state
03:10 and not a province of China, except in the position of Beijing.
03:15 They threaten us for many years. We already get used to it.
03:20 But I think my country is Taiwan or the Republic of China. We do not belong to China.
03:30 Even so, there is no end to the tension here now.
03:33 But the Filipinos I talked to here said that Taiwan is ready if there will be a riot.
03:39 It's true. There is tension. There is a possibility.
03:44 So you should not ignore it. You should be ready.
03:49 That's why I saw these markers that indicate the nearest air defense shelter.
03:56 This is estimated to be more than 80,000 in Taiwan.
04:00 Be prepared. Especially if China will conduct live fire military drills near here.
04:07 The Manila Economic and Cultural Office is ready to thank them here
04:12 even if there will be a riot now.
04:16 They are prepared for any eventuality.
04:19 And they are also concerned about the safety of our own countrymen who are working here.
04:25 The Philippines' commitment to the so-called "One China Policy" is still in progress.
04:29 But China was first to be intimidated by the Department of Foreign Affairs
04:33 and the military pressure in Taiwan was stopped.
04:37 From Taipei, Taiwan, and for GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.
04:42 And from Jakarta, Indonesia, I am Ivan Meyrina.
04:46 We learned 24/7.
