00:00 The Philippines wants to maintain a good relationship with China despite the tensions in the South China Sea.
00:06 In Bloomberg's interview with President Marcos Jr., he said that his administration is avoiding
00:12 the tensions in the territory being seized.
00:15 According to the President, the government is doing everything it can
00:20 to avoid the tensions by dialoguing with its allies, like the United States.
00:27 The President also denied the plan to invoke the mutual defense treaty
00:31 that the Philippines and the United States passed despite the rising tensions in the South China Sea.
00:37 The thing that's a step back from that question is that that is precisely what we want to avoid.
00:45 We want to do everything we possibly can together with our partners and allies
00:50 to avoid that situation whatsoever.
00:53 This is not poking the bear, as it were.
01:02 We are trying to do quite the opposite.
01:06 We are trying to keep things at a manageable level,
01:11 to continue the dialogues, whatever they are, at every level.
