00:00The United States transferred the Mid-Range Capability or Typhoon Missile System from its original location to another location.
00:08Details on this were reported by Rod Laguzad of PTV Manila.
00:14The U.S. Mid-Range Capability or Typhoon Missile System will still remain in the country.
00:19This was given by National Security Advisor Secretary Eduardo Año
00:24after it was transferred to an undisclosed location.
00:27The so-called Missile System has the capability to destroy
00:30Standard Missile-6 and Tomahawk Land-Attack Missiles
00:33that can reach up to 2,000 kilometers or more.
00:36The Typhoon Mid-Range Capability or Typhoon Missile System is still in the country so far.
00:43It will still be used in the future.
00:47If it will be used in the future, that is a classified information that can be disclosed to the public.
00:55According to AAP Spokesperson Colonel Francel Margaret Padilla,
00:59the transfer is part of the training in the Military Asset Department.
01:02Of course, what we are looking at is when we heighten and strengthen our defenses,
01:07we have to look into the possibility of being able to deploy salient assets to salient locations as well.
01:14She said that the operational details are part of the reason why this location is undisclosed
01:18so that the security will not be compromised.
01:21Padilla clarified that this is not a preparation for an attack, but rather to strengthen the defense of the country.
01:26China reiterated its call to the Philippines to pull out of the country the deployment of the Missile System.
01:32She said that the Philippines is creating tensions in the region and provoking geopolitical confrontation and arms race.
01:39She also said that the decision of the country is dangerous and irresponsible for its citizens and other countries in Southeast Asia.
01:47AAP also stated that no one can dictate to the Philippines about its defense.
01:54The presence of their ships who are also missile capable are also highly dangerous.
01:59Meanwhile, as the country continues to undermine its rights in the West Philippine Sea,
02:04a comic book with a title was published, which is the stories of Teacher Jun.
02:09This is especially fighting misinformation regarding the issue
02:12and providing the correct information and understanding of more Filipinos about the West Philippine Sea.
02:18According to PCG Spokesperson for West Philippine Sea Commodore J. Tarela,
02:22there is no fund from the government to use this book.
02:25The National Library of the Philippines also received copies of the book,
02:29which will be distributed to public libraries.
