Transcript

00:00 China is forcing the Filipinos to come to the West Philippine Sea

00:06 according to the National Security Council.

00:09 This is reported by Soojin Kim.

00:11 National Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. and National Security Advisor Eduardo Año

00:20 are trying to convince China to enter a new model arrangement with China on its inshore.

00:29 Fake news and disinformation from the Chinese embassy is never ending.

00:34 The Foreign Affairs Department stated that the country never left its jurisdiction and sovereignty

00:41 to our Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ, including the Ayungin Shoal.

00:46 Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya added,

00:50 We are not allowed to enter any informal or formal agreements like this

00:56 because the National Security Council and National Security Advisor Eduardo Año

01:01 will never put the national interest on the line.

01:04 The National Security Council also did not find any reason to put Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos

01:10 under investigation.

01:13 Malaya said that the disinformation spread by China and Anya

01:18 is just part of their cognitive warfare to lower the morale of the Filipinos.

01:24 Any repeated invasions by China or the Chinese embassy in these agreements

01:31 is not true.

01:35 This is pure and clearly fake news.

01:40 Meanwhile, regarding the Chinese invasion of crushed corals in San Dike 1, 2 and 3,

01:46 Malaya said,

01:47 This was done by China to change the physical attributes of the island

01:52 in order to reverse the arbitral ruling.

01:55 Based on the last maritime mission, the area is now in a degraded state.

01:59 The DFA is requesting that China help with the bilateral consultation mechanism

02:04 on the South China Sea or BCMSCS.
