00:00Personally, I'm trying to question why, apart from all of these things happening,
00:09while there was recently a flare of the Chinese government in the West Philippine Sea,
00:18she remains to be silent about it.
00:22I believe that she is the second highest public official in the land, next to the President.
00:34Her position on this is very important.
00:38Whether she really condemns the aggression that is happening over the West Philippine Sea,
00:45or whether her silence will be treated as apathy.
00:58Yes, her silence is very apathetic, as they say.
01:02But what I can say is that our Vice President has no statement regarding the West Philippine Sea.
01:12Of course, all of us here love the Philippines, right?
01:19So, their allies should be Filipinos.
01:24Their allies should be Filipinos, not their fellow Filipinos.
01:30We should be pro-PINAS.
01:33So, that's all I can say on that issue.
01:38Her silence is deafening.
01:40No, she only said what I said in English.
01:44Anyway, of course, we are free to criticize the actions of the government.
01:52And being a public official, we are always criticized.
01:56And we are very open to that.
01:58But if we are talking about the sovereignty of our country,
02:02we should not expect that she should just come out with her statement,
02:09and fight against China.
02:11And her statement should be pro-PINAS.
02:16But for the longest time, since she became the Vice President,
02:20from July 1, 2022 until now,
02:24have you heard a statement from our Vice President against China?
02:30The answer is no.
