00:00The government plans to use drones to patrol the West Philippine Sea, according to the Philippine National Police.
00:08The President's order is not to raise tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
00:13The first news is from June Deneracion.
00:19Despite China's repeated attacks on Philippine ships inside our Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ,
00:27President Bongbong Marcos agreed to a joint National Peace and Order Council meeting in Camp Crame.
00:32Our President said that we should refrain from provocative stance in the West Philippine Sea
00:39so as not to escalate tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
00:43The government also plans to buy unmanned aerial vehicles that will be used in the West Philippine Sea.
00:49We will use drones because gasoline is very expensive to use.
00:54We will use our water assets to guard.
00:57Despite the high costs and limited capabilities, the Armed Forces of the Philippines will continue patrolling.
01:03In terms of our deployment in the West Philippine Sea, it's a constant that the Philippine Navy is there 24-7.
01:11We are patrolling our waters, asserting our sovereignty.
01:15Once again, the United States condemned China's aggressive actions not only in the West Philippine Sea
01:22but also in other parts of the ocean that are also occupied by China.
01:27We're clear-eyed about the challenges to peace and stability in this region and worldwide.
01:32That includes coercive behavior by the People's Republic of China in the East China Sea
01:37and the South China Sea and elsewhere in the region.
01:40But in the 13th Manila Forum for Philippine-China Relations,
01:44Chinese Ambassador Wang Zilian said that China is peaceful and will not be robbed.
01:50Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,
01:54we have never provoked a war, started a proxy war, or occupied one inch of others' land.
02:03No other country has the right to impose a threat to their security.
02:08When we are baselessly accused of being a security threat by former colonists and aggressors,
02:17we can't stand the test of history and be aware of the reasons behind it.
02:24The Chinese ambassador did not mention who he was targeting,
02:28but he mentioned the former colonies of Spain, America, and Japan.
02:33It is said that China is obeying the rule of law.
02:37Wang also invited Filipinos to visit their country to better understand the situation.
02:44China and the Philippines have maritime differences,
02:48but China has always insisted on managing and addressing the differences through dialogue and consultation.
02:57The AFP and TCG have not yet released anything about what the Chinese ambassador said.
