00:00The Philippines claims that there is no need to ask for permission from China

00:05to carry out the RORE mission in your island.

00:11First, the Philippines questioned the China's permission

00:15despite the professional arrangement being agreed upon.

00:19Patrick De Souza sent the news.

00:24The Department of Foreign Affairs

00:26agreed to the Chinese Foreign Ministry's permission

00:29until the successful rotation and resupply of the RORE mission

00:33to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayunginshol, Kamakailan.

00:37The DFA said,

00:38instead of acknowledging the desire of both countries to ease tensions,

00:43it seemed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China

00:47chose to overturn the agreement.

00:50The DFA clarified,

00:52the agreement was said not to affect

00:55the position of the Philippines and China on the issue in the West Philippine Sea.

01:00Therefore, it will not help to give false information about this.

01:05The DFA added,

01:07the Philippines will continue to be a contestant in our Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ

01:13and legal activities will be carried out here.

01:17The presence in Ayunginshol of the BRP Sierra Madre,

01:21which is a commission naval vessel,

01:23is in accordance with the sovereign rights and jurisdictions of the country.

01:27Therefore, the DFA hopes that China will follow the agreement.

01:32The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea

01:36has already made a mistake in having an inspection of the China Coast Guard

01:39in the past RORE under Provisional Understanding.

01:43Although the four ships of the China Coast Guard,

01:47three PLA Navy,

01:48and two Chinese Maritime Militia

01:51have remained at a distance

01:54from the rented civilian vessel of the AFP, the MLAPULAPU,

01:58and the escort vessel of the PCG, the BRP Cape Engaño,

02:02for one to five nautical miles.

02:04The Philippines also did not inform about the RORE,

02:08except in the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

02:11Most importantly,

02:12we will not allow them to inspect the cargo of our supply boat

02:18because the Department of Foreign Affairs said

02:22that whatever agreement is reached in this Provisional Understanding,

02:26it is not prejudicial to the interests of both countries.

02:31The government hopes that the next RORE will remain peaceful

02:37and that there will be no harassment from the ships of China.

02:41We are still optimistic that this arrangement will last long,

02:46that it will be peaceful, not tense,

02:50and that we will be able to deliver supplies to our soldiers

02:55because it is a routine and a legitimate resupply operation

03:02of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
