00:00 Completely false.
00:02 That is what the former chief of the AFP Western Command said
00:05 in the allegation that he agreed to a new model
00:09 of the West Philippine Sea when they talked to a Chinese diplomat.
00:13 The recording of the conversation went viral
00:16 in the anti-wiretapping law according to the Justice Department.
00:19 And it was pointed out to Jun Veneracion.
00:21 Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos was in front of the Senate
00:29 to clarify the controversial audio recording
00:34 of his conversation with a Chinese embassy diplomat.
00:37 The Chinese embassy's allegation in that conversation
00:41 was that Carlos agreed to a new model
00:43 for the resupply mission in the West Philippine Sea.
00:46 There are stories about me making secret deals with China
00:51 and their officials.
00:53 These are completely false.
00:56 I have not compromised the country's territorial integrity.
01:01 I have not given up our sovereign rights and entitlement.
01:07 I am a soldier for the Filipino
01:10 and I remain a loyal servant of the Republic.
01:14 Carlos' story was called upon by the Chinese military attaché
01:19 Senior Colonel Lee.
01:20 He was the former chief of the AFP Western Command.
01:24 They talked about lowering tensions in the West Philippine Sea
01:29 especially whenever there is a rotation and resupply mission
01:32 to the Philippine troops in the BRP Sierra Madre in Iungin Shoal.
01:36 Indeed, I had a casual and informal telephone conversation
01:41 with the Chinese military attaché in Manila.
01:45 But I condemned the act of the Chinese embassy
01:49 to record the conversation without my consent
01:53 much more to divulge it to the public with malicious twists
01:58 and manipulation in order to appear that our discussion
02:03 supported the corrosive narrative of PRC.
02:08 What is it that came out from the media
02:11 that there was a new model?
02:14 We did not discuss the new model.
02:17 We did not discuss the term common understanding, new model.
02:25 We're not part of our conversation Mr. Chair.
02:29 According to Carlos,
02:30 when Colonel Lee asked for his consent,
02:33 the controversy was recorded.
02:35 Carlos was removed from his position as the West Com Chief.
02:38 Did you visit the Chinese military attaché?
02:42 No sir, it's part of the game Mr. Chair.
02:48 He apologized to you?
02:50 Yes Mr. Chair.
02:51 But you did not reply?
02:52 I did not reply.
02:53 When asked what the details of the phone conversation were
02:56 that lasted for 3 to 5 minutes,
02:59 Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos of the Executive Session spoke.
03:02 The Senators agreed.
03:04 Because Carlos said that the Chinese diplomat's record
03:08 of their conversation was not permitted,
03:10 the Department of Justice said that there was wiretapping.
03:14 We have a testimony now that we can use
03:16 that indeed there was a call and it was recorded
03:19 so it can be considered as a violation of the anti-wiretapping law.
03:23 Senator Francis Tolentino wanted an answer to this.
03:27 The DFA did not move.
03:29 The Ambassador was not called.
03:33 The diplomatic protest was not filed.
03:36 The DFA has the power to declare a person a non-grata.
03:41 I also don't know what we are waiting for here.
03:44 The DFA would have to defer to the law enforcement agencies
03:48 in looking into the reports of wiretapping.
03:52 Although the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security was launched,
03:56 Chinese Ambassador Wang Zilian did not move.
04:00 Was there any response coming from the Chinese Embassy?
04:04 Not as of the moment, Your Honor.
04:06 We are asking for a reaction from the Chinese Embassy
04:09 for GMA Integrated News.
