00:00The Code of Conduct in the South China Sea has not been formed until China believes that it owns the entire South China Sea

00:08through a security expert.

00:10Moreover, some experts and President Bongbong Marcos are trying to stop the harassment of China.

00:17First news is from Chino Gaston.

00:20On the call of President Bongbong Marcos to speed up the release of a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, China is waiting.

00:31I think the onus is now on China to accelerate those talks.

00:37ASEAN has been waiting for a long time.

00:41It's been more than three decades since the concept of having a Code of Conduct in the region was formed to avoid tension.

00:48And in the midst of China's harassment in the West Philippine Sea, the President said that this is the solution.

00:56I'm sure that will come if and when we have that COC.

01:03Then it will lay down the rules for everyone to follow.

01:07And it will stabilize the situation.

01:10That's why it is so important.

01:12That's why I don't want to make it a small matter that we push, we really push.

01:22According to Maritime Law expert Professor J. Batung-Bagal, China is the reason why the Code of Conduct is needed in the South China Sea.

01:29If we look at all the incidents so far, it is the common element.

01:36It is the common thread. It is the one that pushes the smaller countries.

01:41The Vietnamese invaded, the Filipinos harassed, Malaysians and Indonesians were arrested.

01:49So it is clear that one of the reasons for the problems.

01:57For the security expert Professor Renato Di Castro,

02:01the Code of Conduct will not change as long as the Chinese government does not change their view that they own the entire South China Sea

02:09and the Philippines is in a position to push the Code of Conduct.

02:14When it comes to the South China Sea issue, ASEAN is divided based on geography.

02:20Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, and even Thailand couldn't care less about the South China Sea-West Philippine Sea issue

02:29because they're getting a lot of economic benefits.

02:32Among the four claimant states, of course, Vietnam still has to balance its relationship with China because of its economic relation.

02:40Malaysia, Brunei, of course, they also have to factor in their economic relations.

02:44It's only the Philippines, of course, that is really in the position to challenge China.

02:49This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
