00:00We are going to continue to perform our mission. We will never be part of an escalation in the situation in the West Philippine Sea.
00:09If we look at the evolution of the situation in the West Philippine Sea, the Philippines has never been an agent of escalation of tensions. So we will not do that.
00:22So does that mean we will not deploy Navy warships in the area?
00:26We don't need Navy warships. All we are doing is resupplying our fishermen, protecting our territorial rights.
00:34Again, it will be provocative and will be seen as an escalation. We don't do that. The Philippines does not escalate tensions.
00:44Quite the opposite. The Philippines always tries to bring down the level of tensions.
