00:00...at another body beyond the usual filing of diplomatic testimonies.
00:06We are looking at that, especially at the part of the postcard because they know more of how to go about it.
00:13Maybe we'll get back to you later on as long as we get more inputs from the postcard.
00:18The Philippines and China have agreed earlier that we have open communication lines.
00:23Kasama ba dito yung part na mag-imimit ni President si President Xi Jinping para to prevent such escalation sa South China Sea?
00:30We don't have that information yet.
00:33Well, you're right in saying that we have to have means of communicating.
00:40In fact, there are mechanisms that are being practiced by foreign affairs and their counterpart to discuss these issues.
00:49And that's why we have this provisional understanding.
00:54As to the meeting, we don't have any information yet.
00:59Sir, what different bodies are you looking at when you said you would consider filing these?
01:03So what are the options that are being considered?
01:06Well, I would suppose that there are United Nations bodies.
01:11Any UN agencies in particular?
01:15I would think that the DFA would be the appropriate agency to answer that.
01:20Sir, you mentioned kasi it's a matter of procedure that we file a diplomatic protest at the DFA level.
01:28And you also mentioned in your statement earlier that kinetic actions will not do any good to the country, China and the region.
01:36So in between a protest and kinetic actions, what are the policy options that are available to put China in line?
01:44So that the tensions will be managed better and the activities that we saw yesterday will not happen again?
01:54Well, in so far as specific activities, basta ang guideline doon, things that would not lead to escalation of the dispute.
02:04So we will allow after it's the purview of the Department of Foreign Affairs to really come up with those.
02:11Kasi other agencies may come up with proposed activities.
02:16But if the DFA says no, it is contrary to the Code of Canada, then maybe that's when the DFA will come in.
02:24Sir, na-mention niyo kanina yung COVIDs.
02:29The actions of the Chinese Coast Guards are a blatant violation of the COVIDs.
02:35Is there a body that we can elevate this matter further for that body to specifically sanction or at least condemn yung actions ng Chinese Coast Guards?
02:48For that body, I do not have that specific right now. Kasi it's in the purview of the Coast Guard.
02:54Kasi they are the ones, they have a channel of communicating such infringes or violations of international law, particularly the cold reg.
03:06Kasi just to talk about something about the cold reg.
03:10It is actually a code of conduct among seapayers.
03:16The principle behind it is to ensure safety among vessels of the high seas especially.
03:26Para hindi sila magkabububuhan.
03:29But what happened is sila pa yung...
03:40Thank you for watching!
