00:00There is no longer an incident of piracy in Asia, according to the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy.
00:07The other details are on the spot by Oscar Oida. Oscar.
00:11Connie, in the press conference held by the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships in Asia or RICAAP,
00:19Executive Director Krishnaswami said that there is no longer an incident of piracy in the whole Asian region.
00:29Although there are several incidents of petty theft in other countries, this is socio-economic in nature.
00:36It's questionable how RICAAP will respond to this cooperation, especially in countries that have good policies like the Philippines and China.
00:44RICAAP simply replied that the group is apolitical and their attention is focused on fighting piracy and nothing else.
00:54In the press conference, Philippine Coast Guard Admiral Ronnie Hilcaban asked if the Philippine Coast Guard's forces are strong enough.
01:03He said no. But the President's commitment to strengthen the Philippine Coast Guard's forces is true.
01:09In fact, they have a lot of ships to patrol.
01:13RICAAP is currently holding a classroom meeting in the country and it will last until January 23.

01:20Thank you very much Oscar Oida.
