00:00China again threatened to divide their territorial sea, the Bajo de Macinloc, or Scarborough Shoal,
00:07even though it is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:10They did not talk to the United Nations.
00:13Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:19This happened on November 30 around the Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
00:25According to the China Coast Guard,
00:26in November, they stopped patrolling the waters of the so-called Huangyandao.
00:34In November as well, President Bongbong Marcos signed the Maritime Zones Act
00:39where the waters of the West Philippine Sea are classified as the Bajo de Macinloc.
00:45A few days after it was passed into law,
00:47China declared that part of their territorial sea is the waters around it,
00:52even though China's distance from the Bajo de Macinloc is more than triple compared to its distance from Zambales.
00:59In 2012, China controlled the area.
01:02Yesterday, China helped the United Nations with their involvement in the Bajo de Macinloc.
01:08The Chinese government submitted their Statement on the Baselines of the Territorial Sea
01:13which includes a chart showing that the Huangyandao is part of their territorial waters
01:19according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
01:23Under Article 84 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS,
01:28a country is obligated to highlight the charts that show the limits of their continental shelf.
01:37First, the Philippines filed a diplomatic protest against China's declared baselines.
01:43According to J. Batong-Bacal, Director of the University of the Philippines,
01:47Diliman Institute for Maritime Affairs and Laws of the Sea,
01:50China's deposition in the UN has no effect on the position or interest of the Philippines.
01:56Not because it was filed in the UN, it will become legitimate.
