00:20Nayomi, the government is focused on the ongoing activity and situation of the Taal Volcano.
00:26The effects of the Taal Volcano are also present in the nearby areas.
00:34Nayomi, this is what the Presidential Communications Office or PCO, Assistant Secretary, Joey Villanueva, or Villarama, said in an interview with the media a while ago.
00:45Nayomi, just like what ASEC Joey Villanueva said, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. helped the concerned agencies regarding the activity of the volcano,
00:57such as the Department of Health and other agencies.
01:00At the same time, the government is reminding everyone to be careful, especially the vulnerable sectors, such as the elderly or those who are sick.
01:09Our countrymen should be careful. We know that there is ash in the air that can cause different diseases.
01:19So there is a call to be careful as much as possible.
01:23If we don't need to go out, let's not go out.
01:27Our students have online classes, especially in affected areas.
01:34That was the statement of Assistant Secretary Joey Villanueva.
01:39Meanwhile, Nayomi, in the briefing in Malacanang led by the Presidential Assistant on Maritime Concerns,
01:46Secretary Castor Centino and Spokesperson Alexander Lopez,
01:49they also gave the position or statement of the Executive Director of the Incident in Skoda Shoal this August 19,
01:56where the Chinese Coast Guard intercepted the BRP Bagacay.

02:06were conducting their regular and routine logistics missions in the West Philippine Sea on August 18,
02:12but on the morning of August 19, the Chinese Coast Guard vessels intercepted it for the purpose of damaging the Philippine Coast Guard vessels.
02:20The National Maritime Council said that this is an unprofessional and dangerous action of the Chinese Coast Guard
02:26and violation of international law, including the UNCLOS and the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.

02:43The Philippines is responsible for this harassment of China in the sovereignty of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
02:49Because of this, the National Maritime Council, which remains committed to the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:56for a diplomatic action and peaceful resolution of disputes.

03:15That is the news from Malacanang, Nayomi.
