00:00 In the face of the possible effects on the food security of the country,
00:03 of the destruction of some fish in the West Philippine Sea,
00:07 the Department of Justice said that it will recommend
00:10 to punish those behind the destruction of our natural resources.
00:15 This is the center of the news from Louisa Erispe.
00:18 The Philippines will not let the new controversy
00:25 that China made in the West Philippine Sea be ignored.
00:28 According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla,
00:31 DOJ will recommend that the Philippines punish China
00:36 for the destruction and loss of corals in Rosalie Leaf,
00:40 which was possible because of the coral harvesting of the Chinese militia there.
00:44 Remulla also called the so-called destruction of nature an "evil act."
00:52 We are recommending the fighting of such cases against the perpetrators of this evil act,
01:00 destruction of the environment.
01:02 Remember, even without a territorial dispute,
01:08 the destruction of the environment is a sin against humanity.
01:12 Despite Remulla's words, the case is already closed and it can be filed
01:18 because the Philippines has a lot of evidence against China.
01:22 DOJ will also help the good environmental lawyers of the Philippines in the creation of the case.
01:30 This has been happening for many years, but the documentation started a couple of years ago.
01:37 But leading up to the last few months, we were able to get more documentation of this matter.
01:43 It's a very right case for adjudication.
01:45 I think we can do it and we will talk to the best legal experts in the country to help us.
01:51 We have access to the best environmental lawyers in this country.
01:54 I think we will pursue this case against China because apparently, we have a lot of evidence.
02:04 Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin will also be held accountable for his recommendations.
02:11 Remulla also gave the answer that China should be held accountable for the destruction of natural habitat
02:17 in that part of the territory of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
02:22 Louisa Erispe, for the nation.
