00:00President Bongbong Marcos is ready to return the American missile system that is in the country
00:05if China will stop its harassment in the West Philippine Sea.
00:09In the meantime, some ships of the China Coast Guard are still inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:14Breaking news brought to you by Ivan Mayrina.
00:19This is China Coast Guard, vessel 3204.
00:23The so-called award for South China Sea arbitration is illegal and invalid.
00:28This is a radio challenge of the China Coast Guard vessel at BRP Teresa Magbanua of the Philippine Coast Guard.
00:34You are advised that you are currently sailing within a Philippine exclusive economic zone
00:39approximately 102 nautical miles southwest of Caponis Point, Zambales, Philippines.
00:44According to the PCG, the radio challenge of their ship is still going on for hours.
00:49For the ships of China, which have been circling for almost a month and are getting closer to the Zambales.
00:55There are four CCG ships circling Bajo de Bacinlok or Scarborough Shoal with their monster ship.
01:01BRP Teresa Magbanua is monitoring and patrolling the ships of China alone.
01:07On January 13, the National Maritime Council said that the Philippine diplomatic protest
01:13is against the maintenance of ships and helicopters of China in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
01:18Less than a week after this, two incidents of harassment were recorded by the PCG.
01:23On January 24, the Marine Scientific Survey and Sand Sampling of the B-4S Sandy Cay in the West Philippine Sea
01:30were not continued due to the harassment of CCG ships and helicopters of the People's Liberation Army Navy of China.
01:39On January 25, the Long Range Acoustic Device or LRAD was used by the BRP Cabra of the PCG in Zambales.
01:46Although according to the China Coast Guard, their ship has no LRAD.
01:51Aside from that, there are other incidents of harassing of CCG ships,
01:56water cannons, and harassment last year.
02:00Usually, we file diplomatic orders weekly.
02:02Guess how many diplomatic orders we filed last year?
02:05Fifty-two.
02:06The year before, fifty-two.
02:08The year before that, two hundred plus because sometimes it becomes daily.
02:12President Bongbong Marcos has a challenge to China.
02:15Let's make a deal with China.
02:17Stop claiming our territory.
02:20Stop harassing our fishermen and let them have a living.
02:24Stop ramming our boats.
02:26Stop water cannoning our people.
02:31Stop firing lasers at us.
02:34And stop your aggressive and coercive behavior.
02:38And we'll return the Typhoon Missiles.
02:41Stop what they're doing.
02:42I'll blame them all.
02:44President Marcos said this when asked about the condemnation of China
02:47for the maintenance of the American Typhoon Missile System in the Philippines.
02:51China has repeatedly denied the maintenance of the missile system
02:54that can launch Tomahawk missiles to China and Russia from the Philippines.
02:59I don't understand the comments on the Typhoon Missile System.
03:02We don't make any comments on their missile systems.
03:04And their missile systems are a thousand times more powerful than what we have.
03:09So, I don't understand.
03:11China has yet to make a statement about this.
03:13The largest ally of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea
03:16is America.
03:17The President confirmed the US President Donald Trump's request
03:21as part of the possible discussion of the new immigration policy of America
03:25where hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are affected.
03:28We'll see how we can influence the policy making in terms of immigration.
03:37The President also plans to issue a finance freeze
03:40that the United States implemented to all of its foreign aid.
03:43Especially, this is not clear even to the agencies of the US government.
