00:00The AFP wants to buy a missile system to defend our Exclusive Economic Zone.

00:06And one of the things it's looking for is the American Typhoon Missile Launcher.

00:11But now, China is acting up.

00:13Witness, Chino Gaston.

00:17Aside from ships, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, and radar systems,

00:23the AFP wants to buy a missile system to defend our Exclusive Economic Zone.

00:29We'll be proposing to our headquarters for the possible inclusion in the modernization program

00:35of the medium-range capability missile platform that will support our contribution to the implementation of CAD-C.

00:47It's still far from the ground. The development should have already started.

00:50According to the source of GMA News in the Department of National Defense,

00:53the purchase of missiles will surely be included in the AFP modernization program.

00:58It's just a matter of which type of missile system to buy

01:01because China will surely buy any missile system that can reach the coastline of Southern China.

01:09One of the possible platforms it's looking for is the US Typhoon Missile Launcher System

01:14that has been used several times by the US and the Philippines

01:18and is still deployed in Northern Luzon.

01:21In a statement, China warned that the possible origin of their arms race

01:26if the Philippines buys the US Typhoon Missile System.

01:30The region needs peace and prosperity, not chaos or arms.

01:36They again urged the Philippines to fulfill the promise

01:40to remove the Typhoon Missile System and correct the mistake.

01:44In a statement, Defense Secretary Gilberto Tedoro Jr. said

01:48that the deployment and purchase of missiles is the right of the Philippines

01:52for its own security and defense and cannot be opposed by any country.

01:57If China really wants to ease tensions in the region,

02:01it should stop threats, coercion, asking for information,

02:05and remove their ships from the EEZ of the Philippines.
