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.
