00:00A ship of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of Bifarang, Pinsala
00:04after being docked by a Chinese fishing militia vessel
00:07in the middle of the discussions for the
00:10enactment of the Code of Conduct
00:12between China and the Asian countries
00:15was pointed out by Chino Gaston.
00:20The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
00:23docked and docked that Chinese militia vessel
00:27in the morning of October 11.
00:29It was pointed out that several times
00:31the Chinese militia vessel tried to block
00:33the BRP Dato Cabaylo
00:35that is conducting a routine maritime patrol
00:37near Pagansa Island.
00:39Because of the incident, there was a U-turn
00:41on the right side of the bow
00:43or the front of the ship.
00:44The continuous incidents of China's harassment
00:47were pointed out by President Marcos
00:49after the ASEAN Summit in Laos.
00:52Despite this,
00:53the Philippines is still open
00:54to discuss and find a peaceful solution
00:58to the tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
01:00But according to Defense Secretary
01:02Gilberto Teodoro Jr.,
01:03it's hard to start a dialogue
01:06if China's harassment,
01:09harassment, and blockade
01:11of the Philippine ships in the West Philippine Sea
01:14are continuous.
01:14They are really committed to dialogue
01:16but they are also committed to illegal action.
01:18That's the problem.
01:21One of the solutions
01:23to the problems in the South China Sea
01:24is the creation of the Code of Conduct
01:26between China and ASEAN countries.
01:29But Secretary Teodoro is doubtful
01:31if China is really serious
01:33that it will be formed.
01:35We look forward to good faith discussions.
01:38And the President has given the marching order
01:41that he looks forward to good faith discussions
01:44and we will comply.
01:45Do you see now a good faith
01:48on the part of China?
01:52Right now, honestly speaking,
01:55I do not see that.
01:56And the President also echoed that
01:59in saying that we cannot
02:02cast a blind eye
02:04or turn a blind eye
02:05on what is happening
02:06in the West Philippine Sea.
02:08According to Reuters,
02:10China and Russia
02:12have blocked the proposed consensus statement
02:14of ASEAN countries
02:15regarding the South China Sea.
02:17That information
02:18came from the unnamed official of America
02:21and it happened on Thursday
02:23at the East Asia Summit in Laos.
02:25The U.S. official said
02:26it was a take-it-or-leave-it draft
02:28that was led by ASEAN
02:30and supported by America,
02:31Japan, Australia, South Korea, and India.
02:35China has yet to make a move.
02:36This is a coincidence.
02:38Just like what Secretary Teodoro said.
02:41Security Analyst Professor Renato Di Castro
02:45The ASEAN members want a binding Code of Conduct
02:48that has of course the power of an international treaty.
02:51Yes.
02:52China doesn't want a binding Code of Conduct.
02:55China is using the Code of Conduct
02:58to basically prevent ASEAN members
03:01from having security engagements
03:04with their treaty allies.
