00:00 Some senators favor President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s opinion that Chinese Ambassador Huang Zilian should not be allowed to leave the country
00:08 amid the issue in the West Philippine Sea.
00:11 This is what Daniel Manalastas reported.
00:13 According to some senators in President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s opinion,
00:19 not to mention whether to release or not the country, Chinese Ambassador Huang Zilian,
00:26 according to Senator Francis Tolentino, he believes that Huang is just following the directive of their country.
00:33 President is right, even if you send Yaoming there, even if you send someone there,
00:39 recall should be done by the sending authority.
00:43 Whoever sent it, they will recall.
00:46 They are being repaid, right?
00:48 So we cannot recall the Chinese Ambassador because we did not send him here.
00:56 President is right that the Ambassador is just following his orders,
01:03 the policy directives coming from Beijing.
01:07 Maybe, with all due respect to my colleagues,
01:12 I think that this is a near declaration of persona non grata to them
01:18 because they will not reach Beijing in the right way,
01:22 what they should reach.
01:24 Both are right.
01:25 Some lawmakers recall that Huang is calling for his return.
01:29 The Chinese ships are following our ships in the West Philippine Sea.
01:35 And among those ships, there is one more that is being chased by Senator JV Ejercito.
01:41 The problem is that he is calling from his fellow Filipinos
01:44 where he is receiving criticism on social media.
01:49 That is why he has an appeal to them.
01:51 That is why my appeal, even to those people who are pro-China,
01:55 think about our country, we will never be able to progress and move forward.
02:03 In the many problems that I mentioned earlier that needs our attention,
02:06 we should be united here first and be united as a people.
02:10 The senator also believes that former President Rodrigo Duterte is not behind this.
02:15 But...
02:16 Most of these people are influencers identified with the former administration.
02:24 But me, with President Duterte, I have to be clear,
02:27 we have no fight, I respect him.
02:29 I think their perception is that President Duterte was pro-China before.
02:35 But I don't think it's President Duterte behind it.
02:38 It's up to them.
02:40 It's up to them if they really believe that.
02:44 In the end, the senator believed in the importance of unity
02:47 so that the programs of the administration can be implemented.
02:51 Daniel Manalastas for the Bayan.
02:54 Senator Francis Tolentino was honored as the chairperson of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
03:01 In a press conference, Tolentino said that
03:04 he was honored as the chairperson of the Blue Ribbon Committee
03:08 as part of his performance in a meeting with the Senate leader
03:13 where he will serve only for one and a half year as the chairperson of the committee.
03:18 For now, Tolentino has not yet formally resigned
03:21 and he needs to bring this to the plenary in January next year.
03:27 The senator also noted the special committee on maritime zones
03:32 that discusses various issues in the West Philippine Sea.
03:36 For now, there is no confirmation as to who will replace Tolentino's low-ranking position.
03:42 It's the same with the commission on appointments.
03:47 I will serve for one and a half year.
03:52 And it is my intention to honor an agreement.
03:57 So, as long as there is no wedding, I will still be there in transition
04:02 and I will endeavor to have a seamless transition
04:07 and to assist whoever will be the replacements for both seats.
04:14 I would like to inform you that under my office,
04:20 we spent 67 hours and 41 minutes of public hearings.
04:24 We have 358 resource persons, 3 committee reports,
04:30 and we have almost reduced the number of 3,007 pages of transcript of stenographic notes,
04:38 420 pages of committee reports,
04:41 which led to the indictment of 13 individuals,
04:46 specifically in the laptop deal, if you remember.
04:51 I'm out, bye!
