00:00Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin assured that there is no need to worry about the statement made by Chief Romeo Browner

00:08regarding the preparation of the troops for the possible invasion of China in Taiwan.

00:14According to Bersamin, the Philippines has been preparing for this scenario for a long time,

00:19but he made it clear that we are not sleeping on the spot

00:24and the country has no plan to fight,

00:27aside from the fact that it will be directly affected,

00:29Malacanang also added that this is not an indication of a change in the position of the government

00:35when it comes to tensions in the region.

00:37Meanwhile, Malacanang was pleased with the approval of the US in the purchase of the Philippines of 20 fighter jets

00:44that were part of the commitment of the Trump administration to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

00:50to strengthen the defense of the Philippines.

00:54The context of General Browner making that statement is

01:00there should not be any alarm on the part of the Filipinos who look or see that interview

01:09because the Philippines has been preparing for the eventuality of an invasion.

01:16We're not saying when that invasion will take place, whether it will take place at all,

01:21but it's important to us that we don't sleep on the spot.

01:26That's why the context of General Browner's statement

01:31is just to announce something that we are prepared.

01:34As far as the details are concerned, I have no awareness of them,

01:38but the principle of it, that the Americans would give us the material

01:45for a defensive force, defensive stance, that's okay,

01:52because the details will be worked out still.

01:57But that is not for any specific target or state.

02:05That is for our defensive posture.
