00:00There were several interventions. We've done four by now, so I don't know which one you are referring to.
00:06How about the South China Sea? Did you bring up the reason?
00:10Yes. No, I didn't specify the details, but that's the general principle of the adherence to the rule of law and the UNCLOS.
00:23Just as a general thing, we'll have a chance to get into more detail maybe in the next couple of days.
00:31How about Indian Maritime? What is the position of the Philippines regarding the five points?
00:36The position of the Philippines remains the same. We are firmly behind the ASEAN proposal of the five points of consensus,
00:50and we are trying to find ways to move forward because we have to admit that although the five points have been out there since June 9,
01:03we have not been very successful in actually changing the situation, so we are trying to formulate new strategies.
01:14What could be done?
01:16Well, we haven't done it yet, but that's what we will discuss.
