00:00The directive of the President is to maintain our presence.
00:05When we say presence, it's a strategic presence, not just a physical presence.
00:09I just want to make clear of that.
00:11If it's not our presence, we will be sent to the ship.
00:14If it's not, as I said earlier, it's a very big place.
00:18Sir, is it a cause of concern that we pulled out the new PRP without a replacement vessel?
00:25It's not in the sense of concern.
00:28What our countrymen are thinking is that we pulled out the new vessel.
00:33No, that's wrong.
00:35We're not giving up.
00:37Even though Teresa Magbandao left, it did not diminish our presence in the area
00:43because we have other ways to monitor and cover the area.
00:49Like?
00:50Replacing airplanes, our technical capabilities.
00:55We're not just asking for help from our allies.
00:59We have to go above this technical coverage.
