00:00Before we go to the news, ADG,

00:04let's first ask for an update on the ship of China,

00:08the China Coast Guard Vessel 5901

00:12and the Philippine Coast Guard's vessels.

00:16So what is the update here?

00:18Well, the 5901 is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of our country.

00:24They call it a monster ship because it's kind of big.

00:27But we're not just letting it go.

00:29We're shadowing it.

00:32The BRP Cabra is still there.

00:35It's watching and following the 5901 no matter what it does.

00:41And we have other assets like the airplane from the Coast Guard

00:45and other assets of our Northern Luzon Command,

00:48of the Area Task Force North,

00:50of the National Task Force West Philippine Sea.

00:52And we're not letting it go.

00:57We're continuing our radio challenge

00:59and we're making sure that it's not doing anything bad

01:04inside our Exclusive Economic Zone.

01:07But the mere fact that ADG is inside our EEZ,

01:10what is the implication of this to the security of our country

01:14and also to the security of fishermen in the area?

01:17Well, that's what's at stake here in these events

01:23because the biggest effect of this is on our fishermen.

01:29We at the National Security Council

01:31are working with the Fishermen's Congress

01:34in different places in our country,

01:35the last one was in Palawan.

01:37And last year, we came from Sambales

01:40and we talked to our fishermen there.

01:44And we made it clear to them that based on the law,

01:48that is the Philippine Sea

01:50entering our Exclusive Economic Zone.

01:53They should continue fishing.

01:55And that's still our message to them,

01:58to continue fishing.

02:00Nothing has changed,

02:01even if there's a boat.

02:04Anyway, the sea is clear.

02:06Just continue fishing

02:08and our government will not stop

02:11through the Coast Guard and the BFAR

02:13to provide support to you.

02:15In other words,

02:17notwithstanding the presence of this CG-5901,

02:21it will have no effect on the operation of our government.

02:25We will continue to support all of our fishermen.

02:27ADG's assessment of the security agencies,

02:31what can this monster ship do?

02:34Because the monster ship is so big,

02:35it doesn't hide.

02:37It doesn't hide.

02:38Well, it looks like it's part of intimidation,

02:43part of coercion, aggression, deception

02:46that China is doing.

02:48They're showing that they have a ship like this

02:52and they're threatening our fishermen

02:55who are fishermen in the West Philippine Sea.

02:59Now, in response to this,

03:01we will continue to monitor the presence of our BFAR

03:05and the Coast Guard

03:06to support our fishermen.

03:09We have a question from our media partner,

03:11Chino Gaston of GMA Integrated News.

03:14What will we do to the monster ship of China

03:19sailing with impunity through our EEZ,

03:22conducting what experts say is an intrusive patrol?

03:27Well, the first thing we did was we challenged it.

03:31Second, we challenged it until now.

03:35Because what the Chinese Coast Guard is saying is

03:38they are conducting a patrol within their area,

03:42what they're saying,

03:43within their jurisdiction

03:44that there is no country that supports this.

03:49This is not in accordance with international law.

03:52That's why we're explaining it to them.

03:55There will be an answer.

03:57The Chinese Coast Guard is speaking.

03:59Our Philippine Coast Guard is also speaking.

04:01And we're explaining to them

04:03that what they're doing is wrong.

04:06And this monster ship is not doing

04:11any blocking or any dangerous maneuvers.

04:14It's just running around.

04:17And given that we do not want to be

04:22the precursor of any provocative action,

04:26as of now, what we're doing is

04:28we're challenging it and shadowing it.

04:31Let's make it clear, ADG.

04:32When you say you're answering person to person

04:36through diplomatic channels

04:37or we're issuing a statement

04:39and then they issue a statement.

04:41Ah, this answer is on the radio.

04:45So, the Chinese Coast Guard vessel is saying something.

04:48Ah, radio communication.

04:49Through radio communication,

04:50our Philippine Coast Guard is answering.

04:53And what our Philippine Coast Guard is saying,

04:56we're saying that your presence is wrong

05:00and it's not in accordance with the law.

05:03Next question from Chino Gaston of GMA News.

05:06Submarine probe near Masbate is an indication

05:10or said to be an indication of China

05:12seeking passage for their submarines to the Pacific.

05:36So, there are some speculations that

05:49that's the purpose of the unarmed drone

05:53to map out that area.

05:56But the presumption of such answers

05:59by experts like this

06:01is they're presuming this is Chinese.

06:03And

06:14there is no definitive conclusion yet.

06:17Ah,

06:32but as of now,

06:37So, it would be responsible for us

06:40at the National Security Council

06:42to announce anything

06:44based on initial investigation.

07:15Well,

07:23obviously, this is an act of intimidation,

07:25coercion,

07:27and aggression against the Philippines.

07:30As of now,

07:32we do not want to take provocative action.

07:37We take the high moral ground at all times.

07:45And

07:49we have all our assets pointed at this monstership.

07:53At the moment,

07:56in the sense that

08:15the National Security Council has reorganized.

08:19What can the NSC say about this?

08:22Well,

08:23Joey, it looks like this is from Makabayan Block.

08:26Makabayan first.

08:28You know our friends there.

08:30They see things where there is none.

08:32They are looking for issues to fight

08:36those in the government.

08:38Because based on their statement,

08:40this shows that there is a rift

08:44or a conflict within the security sector.

08:46I will be the one to say clearly

08:48in our program today,

08:50there is no rift in our security sector.

08:53Our uniformed soldiers and personnel

08:57of our government

08:58are 100% behind the constituted authority

09:02and the chain of command.

09:04If you see on social media

09:06of people who have

09:10complaints or comments,

09:11these are probably retired members of the armed forces.

09:15There are no incumbent or current officials

09:18of the armed forces

09:20who do not support the chain of command.

09:23I can assure you of that.

09:24So to our critics who say that

09:29the NSC organization is part or indicative

09:32of a rift within the security sector,

09:34that is wrong.

09:35That is not true.

09:37And that is just an indication

09:40for a headline.

09:41It's for the headline.

09:43Because when the election is near,

09:45they need to be in the news

09:49often because they need media mileage.

09:51Question related to the reorganization of NSC.

09:55From Alvin Baltazar of Radio Pilipinas.

09:58Is there a weight in the release of

10:00the EO No. 81 of Palacio,

10:02or is that the endorsement of the Council

10:04in talking about territorial disputes with China?

10:08Because it was stated in the EO

10:10that it is important to ensure that

10:12Council members uphold and protect

10:14national security and sovereignty.

10:16Well, maybe the short answer to that is no.

10:20Because the decision of our President

10:23is discretionary.

10:25He has the right to replace

10:28members of the National Security Council

10:31like other previous Presidents.

10:33All of the Presidents, practically

10:35from Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

10:37until President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

10:39reorganized the National Security Council.

10:41So, this is merely

10:43an exercise of presidential discretion

10:45because the National Security Council

10:47is an advisory body

10:49to the President.

10:50Therefore, the President has the authority

10:52to reorganize it at any time.

10:54Alright. Thank you very much

10:56ADG Jonathan Malaya.

10:58He's not a co-anchor today.

11:00He's like a studio guest.

11:02Thank you very much

11:04for sharing, ADG Jon.
