00:00 The Department of Foreign Affairs announced that they have no idea about the new model arrangement
00:06 when it comes to the agreement that the Chinese Embassy is mentioning in the DFA's statement.
00:12 This is again a claim that the Philippines is not agreeing with any agreement
00:17 that abandons its sovereignty and jurisdiction in our exclusive economic zone and continental shelf
00:24 including the agreement.
00:26 Defense Secretary Gilberto Chodoro Jr. insisted that he did not deny any agreement
00:34 between the Department of National Defense and the Chinese Embassy
00:38 since the courtesy call of the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines, Wang Jilian,
00:42 a few days after Chodoro took his seat last year.
00:47 National Security Advisor Eduardo Año called the statement of the Chinese Embassy
00:52 "untrue, ridiculous, and absurd".
00:57 Año warned the Chinese Embassy that it will not deceive the Filipino people
01:03 in its fake stories, bluffs, and fake communication
01:08 to support its illegal entry into the territory of the Philippines.
01:13 He also said that it will give a chance to the illegal, coercive, aggressive,
01:18 and illegal use of military-grade lasers, water cannons,
01:24 dangerous blocking maneuvers, and bombing of our ships that were injured by some Filipinos.
01:31 The statement was released after the Chinese Embassy said that the Philippines
01:37 has agreed through the Western Command of the AFP
01:40 on the so-called new model to lower tensions in Ayungin Shoal
01:45 which was approved by all officials from the chain of command of our country
01:50 including the Defense Secretary and National Security Advisor.
