00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. has indicated that the Philippines will not start any tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
00:10That is the answer of the Executive Coordination Council on the New Closing of Ships of China last week.
00:17The President also said that the country does not need to send Navy warships there.
00:23The Resupply Mission for the Philippine fishermen there is now in effect and to protect our territorial rights.
00:35We are going to continue to perform our mission.
00:38We will never be part of an escalation in the situation in the West Philippine Sea.
00:44We are not at war. We don't need Navy warships.
00:47All we are doing is resupplying our fishermen, protecting our territorial rights.
00:53Again, it will be provocative and will be seen as an escalation.
00:59We don't do that. The Philippines does not escalate tensions.
01:03Quite the opposite. The Philippines always tries to bring down the level of tensions.
