00:00President Bongbong Marcos led the attack submarine of Russia
00:06in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
00:09The Russian submarine explained and the National Security Council also clarified
00:15the route it passed.

00:23The Philippine Navy got a surprise on November 28.
00:27There are 80 nautical miles of the Cape Calavitia in Occidental Mindoro.
00:31The UFA-490, a Russian attack submarine, is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
00:38President Bongbong Marcos is in charge of it.
00:40It is one of his entrances to our Exclusive Economic Zone.
00:44That's very concerning.
00:45Any intrusion into the West Philippine Sea of our AEC, of our baselines, is very gory.
00:53So, yes, it's just another one.
00:55The Philippine Navy immediately followed the airplanes and ships to monitor the movement of the submarine.
01:00The Navy also had a radio challenge to find out the situation.
01:04He was introduced as the Russian attack submarine.
01:09He said that he came from PASEX exercises with the Royal Malaysian Navy in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
01:20And on the way, he will return to his naval base in Vladivostok.
01:25He said that he was just waiting for the weather to get better.
01:30That's why he surfaced.
01:33And he will let us know when he is ready to return to Russia.
01:39That same afternoon, the ship left for Russia.
01:42It was escorted by the Philippine Navy until it left the Exclusive Economic Zone of the country.
01:48The National Security Council clarified that even though our AEC is divided,
01:52there is a so-called high seas where the submarine can pass through.
01:56It means that any sea vehicle can sail freely.
02:01That is still a part of the high seas.
02:03So, any ship can pass through there as long as it doesn't loiter,
02:09or it doesn't take natural resources,
02:13or it does something wrong.
02:17For example, the Marine Scientific Survey.
02:20In one statement, the Armed Forces of the Philippines said that
02:23it will continue to guard the maritime sovereignty of the country
02:26and will remain professional in addressing overseas sea vehicles.
02:30Their operation is in accordance with the law
02:33and will continue to show dedication to peace and assistance to the region.
