NewsTranscript
00:00 In the midst of China's continued harassment of the West Philippine Sea,
00:04 the Philippines claims that it's alliance with other countries is strong.
00:08 We discussed this in the Mangahas interviews.
00:11 We have a lot of claimants in that area.
00:17 And we also have a lot of Western powers that are interested.
00:21 In reality, it's China against these Western powers.
00:24 And they say that the Philippines and other claimants are like pawns.
00:29 In chess, these superpowers are just players.
00:33 What do you think?
00:34 It was not against the United States.
00:35 It was not against any other country.
00:37 It was against China.
00:39 So our issue is against China, not with the US.
00:43 Why are we allying with the US?
00:46 We are doing so...
00:46 To provoke China.
00:48 And by doing so, provoking China.
00:50 Correct.
00:51 We are doing so because the United States and the Philippines,
00:55 their interests have aligned, have intersected.
00:58 The interest of the Philippines is for our fishermen,
01:03 the natural resources, including oil perhaps,
01:07 and the blue economy that could be the game changer
01:10 for the future generations of Filipinos.
01:14 The interest of America is freedom of navigation,
01:18 global trade, and all of that.
01:20 It just so happened that the two intersect.
01:23 And the interests of the United States and the Philippines
01:26 are directly opposed to the interests of China,
01:30 which seeks to take control of the entire South China Sea.
