Transcript

00:00 Some senators condemned the recent incident in Ayungin, Seoul

00:04 where the China Coast Guard threw away the rations for the Filipinos in the BRP Sierra Madre.

00:12 Daniel Manalasta was at the center of the news.

00:15 The senators did not like the recent incident in Ayungin, Seoul

00:21 where the Chinese Coast Guard again intervened,

00:23 where the Chinese Coast Guard again intervened, and threw away the rations for our Filipinos in the BRP Sierra Madre.

00:30 I just read the statement, but I think they're still verifying what exactly was done.

00:37 In the end, the important thing is not to leave our independence, sovereignty, and power to those islands and oceans.

00:45 But I still believe in the way of dialogue and dialogue,

00:49 and we should not stop until we reach an agreement between our country, China, and other countries.

00:58 According to Senator Nancy Binay,

01:00 these actions show the high level of independence

01:04 in the basic principles of human treatment and compassion.

01:08 She also opposes the protocol in the Geneva Convention.

01:13 Senator Lisa Honteveros called for a strict ban on the supply of Philippine soldiers to China.

01:23 For Senator Bong Revilla, what China did is not humane,

01:27 and it can be called "piracy in the sea".

01:30 Senator Sani Angara said,

01:32 the CCG is putting the lives of Filipino troops in danger,

01:37 and can be considered as a violation of human rights.

01:41 Senate President Francis Escudero also opposed the importance of continuous dialogue.

01:47 What do you want?

01:48 What do you want?

01:49 For us to stop talking because we're not doing our job?

01:51 I'm not sure if that's acceptable.

01:52 If that's not acceptable, maybe it's acceptable now.

01:55 If that's acceptable, maybe it's not acceptable now.

01:57 The important thing is that the communication line is open, and we're still doing that.

02:02 We can't stop because what option and alternative do you want if we don't talk?

02:08 What other option is left aside from dialogue and a clear line?

02:13 We should open that.

02:15 Remember, it's in our Constitution that the Philippines and the states of the Philippines

02:22 do not accept the use of violence as a way to advance our foreign policy.
