00:56 In the West Philippine Sea, we are on the front lines of efforts to assert the integrity of the UNCLOS as a constitution of the oceans.
01:05 We have defined our territory and maritime zones in a manner befitting a responsible and law-abiding member of the international community.
01:14 We have submitted our assertions to rigorous legal scrutiny by the world's leading jurists.
01:21 So the lines that we draw on our waters are not derived from just our imagination, but from international law.

01:46 In this solid footing and through our clear moral ascendancy, we find the strength to do whatever it takes to protect our sovereign home.
01:54 Through the last square inch, through the last square millimeter.
01:59 The life-giving waters of the West Philippine Sea flow in the blood of every Filipino.
02:05 We cannot allow anyone to detach it from the totality of the maritime domain that renders our nation whole.
02:13 (Applause)
02:21 As President, I have sworn to this solemn commitment from the very first day that I took office.
02:27 I do not intend to yield. Filipinos do not yield.
02:31 (President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. speaking in Tagalog)
02:53 Despite all this, the Philippines remains committed to the cause of peace upon which our constitutional order is premised.
03:01 We are committed to addressing and managing difficult issues through dialogue and through diplomacy.
03:07 The 1982 UNCLOS and the binding 2016 Arbitral Award provide a solid foundation for the peaceful resolution and management of disputes.
03:19 Our policy in the South China Sea is built upon these two touchstones.
03:25 But it is a different story if a Filipino dies because of China's attacks.

04:01 (President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. speaking in Tagalog)
