00:17Just this February, a Chinese military helicopter

00:21landed a B-4 airplane in the airspace of Bajo de Macinloc

00:30While in August, the Chinese fighter jets lost their flares

00:34against the aircraft of the Philippine Air Force in the same place.

00:38It's been a few years since China seems to be implementing control

00:42in the West Philippine Sea.

00:44How can China establish itself in the West Philippine Sea

00:48in the Air Defense Identification Zone or ADIZ,

00:51or the place where all incoming aircraft will be required

00:54to identify, say the location, and be controlled?

00:59China has already done that in parts of the East China Sea

01:02that is surrounded by the exclusive economic zones of Japan and South Korea.

01:05Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. said,

01:08it's illegal if ever.

01:10That's why the Philippines will implement countermeasures

01:13and other allies of the country to counter it.

01:16If it continues, there are Philippine aircraft

01:20that the National Maritime Council has not yet identified.

01:29can also send air force jets there

01:32to radio challenge and investigate them.

01:48the air force in general is capable of doing the necessary challenges.

01:52According to a security expert,

01:54China has long been expecting the establishment of the ADIZ

01:58in the South China Sea as part of the West Philippine Sea.

02:01It's a zone that a country would declare,

02:04it's primarily a strategic diplomatic move

02:07wherein any aircraft entering that zone

02:10has to identify itself to that country.

02:14Well, you need a lot of facilities,

02:16you need a lot of radar and monitoring system

02:19so you can monitor your airspace.

02:22For GMA Integrated News, I am Chino Gaston, your witness.
