00:00Not even the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR
00:04supports the activities of the government in the West Philippine Sea.
00:09The details are in the national news of Maine Odong of PIA Calabarzon.
00:15The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources believes
00:19that the fight and support of the activities of the government in the West Philippine Sea
00:24is an obligation of every Filipino in any part of the country
00:29and not only of those directly affected by the territorial disputes.
00:34It is important for every Filipino to sympathize
00:38with the fishermen who have experienced violence in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines
00:44and to those who serve to protect the rights of the country.
00:48It is important that other regions that are not directly involved in the West Philippine Sea
00:58raise their awareness about the West Philippine Sea
01:05and why it is an issue in the West Philippine Sea and why it is important to us.
01:10The BFAR believes that they cannot patrol all maritime zones of the country
01:16despite China's harassment.
01:19This January, the PCG and BFAR experienced harassment
01:24while conducting a study in Sandicate 2 and 3
01:27when they were blocked by the China Coast Guard
01:30and conducted a dangerous operation against the Philippine ships.
01:35Not only can it be shown in obeying the laws and being a citizen,
01:41it can also be shown in having awareness in the issues facing the country.
