00:00ADG, what is this new illegal action of China in the West Philippine Sea?

00:08Or is it something they did in other countries?

00:13They harassed Vietnamese fishermen.

00:17So, what is the detail of this?

00:19Yes, partner.

00:20There is an incident that happened, not in the West Philippine Sea,

00:24but in the South China Sea between Vietnam and the People's Republic of China.

00:33That's where it's called internationally as the Paracel Islands.

00:37And there was an incident because,

00:40just like what the Chinese Coast Guard is doing here in our country,

00:45the Vietnamese fishermen were harassed by the Chinese law enforcement authorities

00:54and the Vietnamese fishermen were sent away to the territory of Vietnam.

01:02So, there was an incident where 10 Vietnamese fishermen were injured

01:10and they were only there to fish for their families and to bring fish to their country.

01:17Okay. So, just to be clear, this is not in the West Philippine Sea.

01:21This happened in the Paracel Islands in Vietnam.

01:25Yes, but this is also part of the South China Sea.

01:29So, this is also part of the 10-dash line of China.

01:35Because in their 10-dash line, not only the Philippines is affected,

01:39but also other countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

01:45So, what can the National Security Council say about this incident, ADG?

01:50Yes, partner.

01:51We can condemn this incident against the Vietnamese fishermen.

02:00And we cannot remain silent here.

02:03Because remember, the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Maritime Militia are also doing

02:11harassment, intimidation, and violence here in our country,

02:17particularly in Scarborough Shoal or Bahodama Sinlok.

02:20So, the Philippines cannot remain silent here.

02:24So, we are supporting the protests of Vietnam.

02:30Because of course, their fishermen were hurt.

02:33And we are supporting, and we are uniting Vietnam in their protest

02:37against the violence against their fishermen.

02:40So, no one was cut off their fingers or was seriously injured in this incident?

02:47Fortunately, no one.

02:49Based on the report that we received and based on the statement of the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry,

02:56no one was seriously injured, like what happened on June 17 during our resupply to Ayungin Shoal.

03:06But the Vietnamese fishermen were injured.

03:15And when you read the statement of the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Maritime Militia here,

03:23it seems like it was just an incident in our country.

03:25They did not do anything wrong.

03:27There was no violence.

03:29And according to the law, they did not do anything wrong.

03:34And these fishermen trespassed.

03:37Correct.

03:38It was them.

03:39Correct.

03:40And what they are saying is that the action of Vietnam was provocative.

03:44Just like what they are saying to us.

03:46So, you can easily remove the nouns and replace it with Philippines.

03:51It would be the same story.

03:53Exactly the same story.

03:54I see.

03:55Okay.

03:56So, it is clear that it is not only the Philippines that is fighting for their territory.

04:01When it comes to the South China Sea, you said earlier that there is Vietnam, there is Brunei.

04:07And I guess, is there another one?

04:10Yes, there is a partner, Malaysia.

04:12Malaysia.

04:13Yes.

04:14Indonesia.

04:15And there are other incidents.

04:16There are other incidents like this.

04:18And we can see the pattern like this.

04:21That is why National Security Advisor Eduardo Año decided to join the Department of Foreign Affairs

04:27in the investigation.

04:28Because we need a partner.

04:30We need to help our brothers in ASEAN, our neighbors in ASEAN

04:38We need to call for support to the international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea on Cloth.

04:49And we cannot remain silent if our countrymen have an incident like this.

04:56Because we need to help our brothers in ASEAN.

05:00Alright.

05:01Thank you so much for your updates, ADG John.

05:04Thank you so much, partner.
