00:00The Philippines and China are now in cahoots following the recent incident in Escoda Shoal
00:06where a Chinese vessel, the Philippine ship BRP Teresa Magbanwa, deliberately entered the harbour.
00:14According to Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, the country has already made a move
00:19to reach Beijing despite the so-called incident.
00:24The GFA said that the ship entered the so-called territory of the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines in an innocent movement.
00:35The Philippines is now studying the possibility of an arbitral complaint against China following the incident
00:44that happened again and again last week.
00:50We're contemplating at the moment possible approaches to this issue.
00:55And I think in the coming days or weeks we'll probably have a better picture of where we're headed on this.
01:02But certainly it doesn't help the situation in Gironila.
