00:00A maritime expert made fun of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s statement about the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
00:08It is worth noting that President Marcos Jr. called on China that if it does not want to return the US Typhoon Missile System to the Philippines,
00:17China should also stop harassing Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea.
00:22According to University of the Philippines Professor J. Batong-Bacal,
00:25there was a temporary US Typhoon Missile in the area due to China's bullying and harassment of Filipino fishermen.
00:33He also added that the Philippines' desire is for peace, and the President's call is to show the resistance of a free country.
00:43It is more important for the entire Filipino people to unite and protest here,
00:50and our presidents should join this protest because we are all Filipinos.
00:55This does not depend on who is the president because what we should think about is the entire Filipino people.
01:03It is only right that we are united in this protest,
01:07that the waters of the Philippines, the West Philippine Sea, is for Filipinos.
01:13The Philippine Sea is owned by Filipinos, and China should follow the international law.
01:20We have been talking about this for a long time.
01:22Even in the 1970s, they were helping small countries to have an exclusive economic zone and continental shelf
01:33so that they would not be under the influence of the powerful.
01:36Now that they are powerful, they will suddenly turn against us.
01:39This is not right.
01:40We should uphold the law and follow it.
