00:00 Good morning! Here is the PTV news for today.
00:04 Defense Secretary Gilberto Todoro Jr. ordered the fulfillment of the Philippines'
00:10 Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept or CADC.
00:14 This is in accordance with the passing of the DND and Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:20 to strengthen the protection of the country's territory,
00:24 especially the Exclusive Economic Zone in the West Philippine Sea.
00:29 This act is intended to ensure that Filipinos will benefit from the wealth
00:35 that will be found in the territory of the Philippines.
00:38 Next, Todoro ordered the AFP commanders and unit heads
00:43 to do the necessary actions in the fulfillment of the CADC.
00:48 According to a maritime law expert in the house of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
00:54 the mutual defense treaty of the Philippines should not be used in America
00:59 following the last Chinese Coast Guard's intervention in the Philippine ships in the West Philippine Sea.
01:05 According to Attorney J. Batong-Bacal,
01:09 the Philippines' decision to pass a peaceful and diplomatic solution
01:16 to issues in the country's maritime domain was right.
01:19 He also added that the mutual defense treaty was not made to be used in the beginning of a conflict.
01:25 The President said that it's not the right time.
01:28 It's right.
01:29 It's not possible that every time you get hurt, you run to Big Brother.
01:34 What will other countries think of you?
01:37 It's like a snowflake.
01:41 Try baby.
01:43 It's not possible.
01:44 For our interest, we can't show that we're weak.
01:53 Just because we broke the windshield,
01:57 it means that the mutual defense treaty must be invoked to start a conflict.
02:01 We also have the obligation and responsibility to control the situation so that it won't escalate.
02:08 And those are the news for this time.
