00:00 Fishing experts told the lawmakers how China is harassing them under the guise of "machin-locos car morosol."
00:09 Let's find out the details from Mela Lesporas Live. Mela.
00:15 House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that he will not let the thousands of fishermen here in Zambales
00:24 be in the middle of issues in the West Philippine Sea. Earlier, a public consultation was held by the cameras in the province.
00:32 Some fishermen in Zambales were emotional when they announced that China is harassing them under the guise of "machin-locos car morosol."
00:43 That was in the public consultation held by the House Committee on National Defense and Security with the Special Committee on the West Philippine Sea on issues in the WPS.
00:54 One of the fishermen shared a video of how they were being blocked by a Chinese Coast Guard boat,
01:05 even though they are not allowed to fish anymore. That's why they are now asking congressmen to help them.
01:12 I'm going through tears. I'm going through tears because you're going down. You probably feel our suffering.
01:24 Who will help us? We don't know anyone because we're small. Who will help us?
01:31 If it's an election, you know us. If it's a problem, you don't know us.
01:36 I'm going to meet them. I'm going to meet them.
01:44 Noli, I felt you earlier. I felt you.
01:49 You said that when elections are held, politicians only come out here.
01:54 But you know, brother, I would like to emphasize that the order of our president and speaker Martin Romualdez
02:03 is not yet going to attack President Marcos.
02:06 But you saw the fight he's doing against the countries that want to invade our area.
02:12 He's confronting his humanity.
02:15 So whether there's an election or not, we will fight them.
02:19 The camera was shocked that they will be able to address the issue,
02:23 which is also in accordance with the order of the House Speaker Martin Romualdez and President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:29 Until now, one of the most feared by fishermen is the China's threat
02:33 that they will be arrested by foreign trespassers in the territories they are occupying.
02:38 But if congressmen will cry...
02:41 We will protect our fishermen, the Philippine Coast Guard, our soldiers,
02:48 to help protect our fishermen who are free to find a life in their own land.
02:57 We understand their fear and anxiety.
03:01 But we believe in the ability of our government to protect our fishermen,
03:12 especially in our exclusive economic zone.
03:15 Aside from this, the leader of the Camarad also assured that they will alert other concerned government agencies
03:22 to address their involvement in the issue.
03:25 The budget season is coming.
03:27 We heard our fisherfolks and other requests that I said,
03:34 Jake Congon and my colleagues.
03:37 So rest assured that we will form an interagency to have an answer.
03:44 Aljo, earlier in the press conference,
03:48 the House media also asked our lawmakers their reaction
03:52 about a world's largest China Coast Guard ship that was spotted in the Philippine waters.
03:58 But according to the lawmakers, they still have no information about this.
04:02 But Aljo repeatedly said that in the presence of the Camarad,
04:07 they will fight for the rights of our countrymen,
04:10 especially the fishermen,
04:12 who are the main source of income and food for their families.
04:19 Marami Salamat, me la, les moras!
