00:00 The President's decision to resign as Commander-in-Chief
00:04 is the so-called gentleman's agreement of the Duterte administration in China
00:08 and the Eung-In Shoal.
00:10 That's what some experts think.
00:12 Our Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio also believes in it.
00:16 And it's true!
00:17 Ma'am Gonzalez.
00:18 The belief of the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio
00:26 is that the Eung-In Shoal was given to China
00:30 in the so-called gentleman's agreement of the former President Rodrigo Duterte and China.
00:34 His agreement is that we won't supply, we won't repair the Sierra Madre.
00:41 What can be brought there is water and food.
00:44 It will sink because it's rusty.
00:47 When it sinks, we're gone, China will enter.
00:50 It's like he gave the Eung-In Shoal to China.
00:53 If the opportunity arises, another feature of the South China Sea will be lost in the Philippines.
00:57 Just like what happened in Mischief Reef, which was built by the China Airstrip.
01:01 The Arboretum of the Eung-In Shoal said that it's low tide, that's part of the EEZ of the Philippines.
01:07 The Philippines can build a structure there.
01:11 Then we're gone because China will enter.
01:16 An International Affairs Analyst said
01:19 that the former President fell to the Chinese trap
01:23 when he was asked to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
01:26 The former President fell to the Chinese trap.
01:29 You will let your people live their lives,
01:33 you will let their comfort and welfare
01:37 to a rotting Second World War landing ship tank.
01:41 If a frozen situation actually favors China,
01:45 it's really tantamount to treachery or betrayal.
01:49 Other analysts say that the trilateral summit of the Philippines with the US and Japan
01:54 will not be held in China.
01:56 This is not an arrangement to provoke the status quo.
02:01 It is mainly to defend what is left of the status quo.
02:05 Given the turmoil that we are all facing today, it is very much important.
02:10 It is important for the Philippines to stand up against China's invasion of the West Philippine Sea.
02:16 We cannot allow the Philippines to become an example
02:19 of how an aggressor would allow itself to get what they want.
02:25 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, for 24 Hours.
02:31 The former President Duterte said that
02:34 the Chinese President Xi Jinping is talking about is the status quo.
02:39 He will follow this so that he will not create trouble.
02:41 He said that he will not give up anything to China.
