00:00Kinondena ng Pilipinas at Australia ang mga panggigipit ng China nang nagdaan ang isang defense cooperation.
00:06Pinakabago sa pangaharasan tangkang paglapit ng mga barko ng China sa BRP Sierra Madre sa Ayungin Shoal.
00:13Naharang naman niya ng Philippine Navy. Nakatutok si Chino Gaston.
00:20Tensyonado ang sitwasyon sa Ayungin Shoal kung saan nakasadsad ang BRP Sierra Madre para magsilbing base ng Pilipinas doon.
00:27Noong Merkulis kasi dumating ang mga barko ng Chinese Coast Guard at Chinese Fishing Militia para palibutan ang BRP Sierra Madre.
00:35Ang ilan sa mga barko may nakakabit pa na mashinggan sa harap.
00:39Nagbaba ng mga rubber boats at fast boat para pumalibot at lumapit sa BRP Sierra Madre.
00:44Pero bago pa makalapit, sinalubong ang mga Chinese boat ng Philippine Navy rubber boat may 50 hanggang 75 meters na lang mula sa BRP Sierra Madre.
00:52Hindi pa rin daw umaalis ang mga barko ng China batay sa huling monitoring ng Armed Forces of the Philippines.
00:59Pero bagamat nananatiling tensyonado ang sitwasyon, hindi daw kailangan magdagdag ng puwersang AFP Western Command.
01:06Ayon kay AFP Chief General Romeo Bronner, hindi pa raw nalalabag ng China ang itinatag na provisional agreement sa Ayungin Shoal dahil sa kanilang pagpapalibot sa Ayungin.
01:16Tense yung situation dahil nandyan lumalapit sila, pero yung mga tropa natin, we continue to push them outward.
01:24Continuous pa rin yung pag-observe natin ng red flag na sinabi ng ating pagulo.
01:31Kapag may namatay na Pilipino, that is the red flag, that is the red line.
01:38So basta tayo, tuloy-tuloy pa rin na didepensahan natin yung BRP Sierra Madre.
01:45Ang inilatag na floating barrier ng isang Chinese militia ship, tinanggal na raw ng mga sundalo mula sa BRP Sierra Madre.
01:53Kanina, pinirmahan ng Pilipinas at Australia ang Joint Statement of Intent para magkaroon ng formal na defense cooperation ng dalawang bansa.
02:01Dito, kinundinanin na Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. at Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles ang mga panggigipit ng China.
02:09The activities of China in any area, whether in the Sierra Madre or any area under their nebulous claims,
02:17are a matter not only of concern, but of condemnation.
02:21Because these are in gross violations of international law.
02:26And actually, it is a product of a false narrative.
02:29I've even seen some social media posts saying that they are the progenitors of certain areas in the Philippines.
02:39So their disinformation is as disgusting as their activities.
02:45And we need to stand up to this.
02:47The work that we do together as two countries which seek to assert the rules-based order is fundamentally important
02:53in seeing that the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea applies around the world in the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea.
03:01And we are both countries which are utterly dedicated to that.
03:04And we understand the pressure that the rules-based order is under in this neck of the woods.
