00:00The Foreign Affairs Department sent a noteworthy note to China
00:04against the removal of the flares of the China fighter jet in Bajo de Masinloc.
00:10The Armed Forces of the Philippines, even though they are not yet in power,
00:14are ready to fight and fight for their duty.
00:18Chino Gaston reported.
00:24The removal of the flares of the China fighter jet
00:26in front of the patrol aircraft of the Philippine Air Force in Bajo de Masinloc this August 8
00:31was formally protested by the Philippines.
00:34The Department also sent a note there about the essential points of all of these statements
00:38were the strong condemnation of the incident
00:41and the fact that the Philippine Air Force jet or plane posed no threat to the PLA Air Force.
00:51Manalo also said that Bajo de Masinloc is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines,
00:56which is why if China is going to invade our airspace.
01:00They're within our rights and they entered over our airspace.
01:04So they were undertaken over our airspace.
01:07The Armed Forces of the Philippines said that China is threatening the tension.
01:11Even though the Philippines is not yet in power,
01:14they are ready to fight and fight for their duty.
01:19All these illegal, unsafe and professional actions
01:23increase the risk for any untoward incident.
01:26We have our partners and allies.
01:29We are showing the world with the transparency initiative,
01:32all the actions that the PLA is doing,
01:35if only to increase the deterrence.
01:37We don't want to get to a situation that there would be a downward spiral of escalation.
01:42Those flares simply flared up the sense of patriotism
01:46in every member of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
01:49They will not be deterred.
01:53from a military base and not from an aircraft carrier in the West Philippine Sea.
01:58The AFP also does not know how many Chinese aircraft are currently flying in the West Philippine Sea.
02:05Our aircraft cannot float in the air for a period of time.
02:09They have to land.
02:10So monitoring them cannot be ascertained to a particular date or period.
02:15Maybe when there are flights, then we can be informed for our monitoring.
02:19According to the AFP,
02:20the additional air assets of the Philippine Air Force
02:24must be added in the face of China's growing clashes,
02:26not only in the sea but also in the Pacific.
02:30This July, President Bongbong Marcos approved the purchase of 14 new multi-role fighter jets.
02:37According to the source of GMA News,
02:39a supplier was chosen but there was a problem with the aircraft's supply.
