00:00China is pressuring the Philippines to give up its sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.
00:07According to Defense Secretary Ghibo Teodoro,
00:10the Australian Defense Minister, Richard Marles, in Canberra, Australia,
00:16said that the Philippines is a victim of China's aggressive actions.
00:21China's defense has no choice but to take action
00:25to protect their interests against the Philippine invasions and plunder.
00:30Despite China's recent advances,
00:32they have once again broken their baseline or surrounded Scarborough or Panatagsyol.
00:38Like the diplomatic protest of the DFA,
00:40this is the 56th protest of the Philippines against China this year.
00:50What we see is an increasing demand by Beijing
00:53for us to concede our sovereign rights in the area
00:57because of our need to explore and exploit the resources in these areas
01:03for the benefit of our own people.
01:05We are direct victims of Chinese aggression in this and in a concentrated area
01:12so far, thus far, in the West Philippine Sea.
