00:00Meanwhile, the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Information Agency
00:03gave information to the researchers of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines
00:07about the West Philippine Sea.
00:10This is what Harley Valbuena reported.
00:15How can we even be able to convince China or the international community
00:20that we are the West Philippine Sea
00:23if our belief right now and in the next generation of Filipinos
00:28that the West Philippine Sea is questionable?
00:33The Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Information Agency
00:38joined forces in spreading the right knowledge to the youth
00:41as well as the sovereign rights and maritime security of the Philippines.
00:45At the established West Philippine Sea Forum
00:47at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines in Santa Mesa, Manila,
00:51the researchers were explained
00:53the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone of the country
00:58where the West Philippine Sea is located,
01:00the difference between the West Philippine Sea and the South China Sea,
01:03and why it should not be disputed or disputed
01:07because it is our own.
01:10The PUP students were very active.
01:13The South China Sea is the broader sea
01:16encompassing again the south of the China
01:20and also some seas of the ASEAN states.
01:23While the West Philippine Sea is how the Philippines
01:26coined this West Side or the Seaboard of the Philippine Sea.
01:31Aside from the understanding of the sovereignty of the country,
01:35the researchers were also careful
01:37about the misinformation about the West Philippine Sea.
01:40The youth was also encouraged
01:42to influence their parents
01:46not to believe in fake news,
01:48especially those who see it on social media.
01:51To strengthen the fight against WPS,
01:54the officials of PCG, PIA and PUP
01:56one by one rose to the commitment wall.
02:00The West Philippine Sea Forum
02:02will also bring PCG and PIA to other schools in the country
02:07to strengthen the voice of the youth
02:10in defending our territory.
02:13Our primary goal right now
02:16is to equip our youth and students with skills
02:21to determine what fake news is.
02:23We will continue to face the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
02:27So it is important for us to make sure
02:29that the next generation of Filipinos,
02:31our youth,
02:33know and understand what we are fighting for in the West Philippine Sea.
02:37Meanwhile, during the election campaign,
02:40the researchers decided to think twice
02:44in voting for the candidates for Pro-China.
