00:00 The Philippines is campaigning to become a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
00:06 And following the installation of the floating barriers of China in Bajo de Masinloc,
00:10 a senator asked, "Will that pass through your country?"
00:13 That's what JP Seriano and Mav Gonzalez are talking about.
00:17 Will what cannot pass through diplomacy pass through good talks?
00:25 If I'm the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, I'll call the ambassador,
00:33 I'll ask him to come here, I'll get you drunk.
00:35 That's his responsibility.
00:37 Senator Bato de la Rosa was shocked when the Foreign Affairs Department said
00:41 that it will protest the installation of the barriers of China in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:46 We'll also probably ask our embassy in Beijing to go to the Chinese foreign ministry.
00:51 We are sick and tired of all these diplomatic protests.
00:55 The DFA and senators have the same position that the barriers were illegally placed.
01:01 Any obstacle or any kind of harassment is not in accordance with UNCOS
01:07 and the rights that the countries have with respect to the EEZ.
01:10 If there is someone who has the right to put obstacles there, it might be us.
01:14 But we will not do that because of that second part of the ruling.
01:17 We should allow also fisher folk from other countries to fish in the area.
01:25 What did de la Rosa think when the DFA gave confidential funds?
01:29 From other countries, they have a big investment in their DFA.
01:35 We are the only gyms band in other countries. We don't have a gym band.
01:39 So we need that.
01:40 But the DFA said that they are not asking for confidential funds.
01:44 For now, the Philippines is campaigning to be a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
01:50 If we are on the council, we will have a voice in these issues.
01:55 Our aim is to try and manage our disputes with China through the rule of law and international law.
02:01 It's gone completely.
02:03 And as of yesterday, our Philippine Coast Guard was able to remove the floating barrier.
02:10 According to National Security Advisor Eduardo Año, who was also the leader of the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea,
02:18 this is not the first time that China has placed floating barriers around the Bayou de Macindo.
02:25 China has previously placed floating barriers after a few months of standoff in 2012
02:33 between China and the Philippines in the Panatag or Scarborough Shoal.
02:37 They placed floating barriers there like a chain.
02:40 Those are the initials that they don't want our vessels to be near.
02:45 And then for a while, they removed it.
02:48 So now, it's the same again.
02:50 The government of the Philippines also condemned the pursuit of the China Coast Guard
02:55 to a Filipino fisherman in the Bayou de Macindo.
02:58 We saw that our fisherman was a bit arrogant.
03:03 So what will happen if he gets arrogant?
03:05 Then our fisherman's life will be in danger.
03:09 We are calling on the Chinese government to give instruction to their Coast Guard
03:15 to avoid such an opportunity.
03:17 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano.
03:21 And I'm Mav Gonzalez.
03:22 We learned 24 hours.
