00:06 Well, this is the reason why we have been more active in exposing

00:10 their behavior.

00:11 As you can see, since February, every time we release

00:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] that we are being bullied,

00:20 that there are a lot of aggressive behavior

00:21 in the People's Republic of China,

00:24 whether China Coast Guard or Chinese Maritime Militia,

00:27 all of those are supported by compelling videos and images.

00:30 And secondly, this is also the reason

00:33 why we are always welcoming to our friends from the media

00:37 so that it won't appear that we are shaping public opinion.

00:42 Let me first clarify this.

00:46 Our activity in Ayunginsol, particularly the supply

00:49 operation, is really an activity of the Armed Forces

00:53 of the Philippines.

00:54 So as to the coordination with any private entities that

00:58 would intend to support the supply,

01:00 I think, regarding the permission,

01:02 it has to force to the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

01:05 not the Philippine Coast Guard.

01:07 [INAUDIBLE]

01:19 Based on the press release of the Armed Forces of the

01:22 Philippines, of course, they have more knowledge

01:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:26 Of course, on the part of the Philippine Coast Guard,

01:28 we are also joining the Department

01:30 of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines

01:32 for condemning this aggressive behavior of dangerous maneuver

01:37 of the PLA Navy.

01:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:46 Sir, will you encourage or advise the president

01:50 to join you or visit the area?

01:54 I think that is something to be decided by the president

01:57 himself and, of course, the concurrence

02:00 of the entire National Security Council and the National Task

02:02 Force West Philippines.
