00:00A maritime law expert suspected Senator Aimee Marcos of having hypersonic missiles flying over China, which is located in the Philippines.
00:09Atty. J. Batumbacal said,
00:11"...there is speculation and no factual basis for these, except if Senator Marcos has access to China's war plans."
00:18In a viral TikTok video, Senator Marcos said that there are 25 hypersonic missiles flying over China that target EDCA sites in the country.
00:26The hypersonic missiles are five times faster than the speed of sound, so it is difficult or impossible to block air defense systems.
00:34When asked about Senator Marcos, he did not give details about what or who is his source.
00:41I just saw it in a report and it looks reliable because it is targeting EDCA sites.
00:52The Armed Forces of the Philippines is serious about Senator Marcos' statements.
00:56The AFP will consult with the Senator to get additional details.
01:01The National Security Council will do the same.
01:04For now, they have not monitored any threats from China.
01:08The Department of National Defense did not comment because they have not seen or read the plans that the Senator is referring to.
01:16The Chinese Embassy and the Department of Foreign Affairs are still asking for permission about this.
01:21Just this Tuesday, the 9th Bilateral Consultation Mechanism was launched with the Philippine and China bodies
01:27as part of the discussion on easing tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
