00:00 China's strategy is to bomb the Philippines' resupply mission
00:05 to stop the compiling of the corrupting BRP, Sheramadre, according to an expert.
00:11 The President also answered China's request to ask the Philippines
00:16 to remove the ship from the island.
00:19 Here is my report.
00:20 In the video shared by Senate President Mig Zubiri,
00:26 it is clearly seen that the Philippine resupply boat was hit by water.
00:30 In the video released by China Coast Guard,
00:33 it was shown that the ship was not in the pool of water.
00:37 They were also able to bomb the water,
00:39 which is just a warning to the Filipinos.
00:41 The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines said
00:43 that China agreed to the temporary special arrangement
00:47 to deliver supplies to the corrupting BRP, Sheramadre.
00:50 But it is unilateral or they have no idea what the Philippines is doing now
00:55 that the BRP, Sheramadre, is far from being strengthened
00:57 so that the island can be permanently occupied.
01:00 China also told the Philippines not to bring construction materials.
01:04 The Foreign Ministry of China also said that the Philippines
01:08 has promised to remove the BRP, Sheramadre, from the island.
01:12 I'm not aware of any agreement
01:15 that the Philippines should remove from its own territory
01:22 its own ship, the BRP, Sheramadre, from the European Union.
01:28 And let me go further.
01:31 If there does exist such an agreement,
01:35 I rescind that agreement as of now.
01:39 The BRP, Sheramadre was approved by the Philippine Navy in 1999
01:44 under the administration of former President Joseph Estrada.
01:48 The then Defense Secretary Orly Mercado
01:50 was amazed whenever he saw the ship being damaged and damaged.
01:55 We will intentionally shut down that plan.
02:00 But at the same time, it will be an outpost.
02:03 To obey Orly, if you breach something
02:06 and want to make it a permanent base, then do not maintain it.
02:10 Raymond Powell of Stanford University in America
02:13 said that China's aggressive actions will be repeated
02:16 so that the ship that is being damaged will not be completed.
02:19 Without repairing or replacing it, something will happen.
02:22 At that point, China will essentially have taken control of Ayungin Shoal.
02:26 If China will establish an artificial island, Ayungin Shoal,
02:30 it will become the fourth military base of China in the Spratlys.
02:34 Ayungin Shoal is the missing link in the rosary of a basis.
02:40 If they have that there, they can effectively cut the area in half.
02:46 Professor J. Batong-Bacal said that in order to have a rest back instead of a boycott,
02:50 it might be more effective to stop the export of gold and nickel to China.
02:55 Those are among our biggest exports to China.
02:58 Nickel, which they need to make steel to make their ships to Buli Asa.
03:03 According to the Pentagon, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
03:07 condemned China's dangerous actions.
