00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. himself said that the Philippines will protest against the new harassment of Chinese boats
00:08 by our troops in the West Philippine Sea.
00:11 According to the President, this is alarming, especially with individuals injured.
00:15 Alan Francisco is in the center of the news.
00:18 The Philippines will protest against the Chinese's aggression.
00:25 This is followed by the new encirclement of the China Coast Guard and Chinese maritime militia vessel in the West Philippine Sea.
00:32 Four people were injured in the incident of harassment, blocking, bombing, using water cannons,
00:38 and illegal maneuvers to block the Philippines' resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.
00:45 However, President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. clarified that it does not make sense
00:50 that the Mutual Defense Treaty is being used in the United States because of the incident.
00:55 However, we continue to view with great alarm this continuing dangerous maneuvers and dangerous actions
01:03 that are being done against our seamen, our Coast Guard.
01:09 And this time, they damaged the cargo ship and caused some injury to some of our seamen.
01:22 And I think that we cannot view this in any way but in the most serious way.
01:31 Once again, we will make our objections known and hope that we can continue to communicate to find a way
01:40 so that such actions are no longer seen in the West Philippine Sea.
01:47 When President Marcos spoke at the Lowy Institute on the sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne,
01:54 he also gave the Philippines a continuous push for a peaceful and diplomatic way to resolve the issue in the South China Sea.
02:02 This includes the implementation of the Code of Conduct,
02:06 along with the President's claim that the Philippines' independent foreign policy remains.
02:12 Meanwhile, the President also gave permission to the Chinese research vessel in Vietnam Rise.
02:18 He called the incident "of great concern".
02:22 Once again, this is a clear intrusion into Philippine maritime territory.
02:27 And this matter, as usual, of great concern.
02:32 And I see it as absolutely unnecessary because if it is truly a research vessel,
02:40 then we could have come to a very simple agreement that the research vessel will ply the waters and do the research that they need to do.
02:51 However, there is a suspicion that they are not only research vessels.
02:56 So again, this is a bit of an escalation of the tension that is present in the West Philippine Sea.
