00:00Unusual Chinese activities sa Ayungin Show at yung pag-uusapan kasama si Undersecretary Alexander Lopez,
00:06ang tagapagsalita ng National Maritime Council.
00:09Yusek Lopez, magandang tanghali po at welcome sa Bagong Pilipinas ngayon.
00:14Hi, magandang tanghali din po, Asik Weng, at sa ating mga nanonood at nakikinig ngayong araw na ito.
00:22Happy National Heroes Day, by the way.
00:24Okay, Yusek, para po sa kaalaman po ng ating mga kababayan, ano po ba ang sitwasyon ngayon sa BRP Sierra Madre?
00:32Totoo po ba na may unusual activity ang Chinese maritime forces doon?
00:37Actually, yung naiulat noong August 20, na merong increase in number of vessels ng Chinese government,
00:50Actually, Asik Weng, expected namin ito that there will be an increase, maybe significant increase.
01:00Ito ay result ng kanilang debacle, embarrassment during the 11th August incident,
01:07wherein napahiya ang kanilang gobyerno, but without releasing the picture,
01:16kasi namamonitor natin sa Chinese media na wala silang nire-release na picture of video kung ano talaga yung nangyari.
01:23Pero, another rest, namonitor din natin sa mga international commentaries.
01:30Kung papangas sila ng pahiya, that's why, again, the message nito, in optics na gusto nilang palabasin,
01:36they're still in control of the area, that's why nagpadala sila ng mga karagdagang maritime assets doon sa West Philippine Sea,
01:47in particular sa Yunin, at doon na rin sa Baudi Basinlok.
01:52Pero, nakuusap natin yung commander ng Western Command,
01:56nagbawas na sila, at basically, normal na yung deployment nila doon,
02:04isang Chinese Coast Guard at mga ilan-ngilan na Chinese militia vessels,
02:08unlike noong 20 August, na iulat ng ating armed forces.
02:13Yusek, gaano karami pong barko ng China ang namonitor ng ating pamahalaan dyan sa lugar?
02:17Noong 20 August, mayroon na 4 o 5 na Chinese Coast Guard at mga Chinese militia
02:28at marami din yung rigs na tinatawag natin rigid hull inflatable boats,
02:35yung nakikita natin sa monitor.
02:37So, mayroon ilang na-deploy yun.
02:40So, sabi ko kanina, as reported by the commander ng Western Command,
02:45wala na yung ganong karami at nanatili sa iisa o dalawang Chinese Coast Guard
02:51at sa paligid yung mga ibang Chinese militia vessels.
02:55Pero, basically, on a day-to-day basis, ito yung namomonitor natin sa Ayungin Shoal.
03:02Ayon po sa ulat, may dalang weapon system ang mga barko ng China,
03:05baga matula naman daw pong show of force.
03:08Ano po sa tingin ninyo ang gusto nilang iparating o ipakita,
03:10may gusto silang iparamdam sa atin?
03:12So, again, optics nila yun, ano?
03:16Gusto nilang iparating, again, hindi naman yung mga tropa natin sa BRP Sherry Madweil,
03:22hindi naman sila na-alarma actually doon, no?
03:24Ang sinasabi kasi natin, yung kanilang target audience ay actually the domestic audience,
03:30yung kanilang mamamayan na mga nasa China.
03:34But, then again, yung weapon system na yun na sinasabi natin ay, ano yan,
03:39nakamount doon sa rubber boat, isang, apparently, nakakita natin parang isang,
03:44we can call it a machine gun, no?
03:49Pero, again, ito ay isang propaganda, optics,
03:53para ipakita nila na ganun sila kalakas.
03:55Pero, nonetheless, hindi natin ito pinapabayaan.
04:00But, gamitin ko na yung sinabi niya, ano, ni Secretary Gilberto Chudoro,
04:07ito ay, we condemn, no?
04:10We take serious concern and we condemn these actions done by the Chinese forces
04:17during the 20th August, ano, day.
04:21So, sinabi niyo po na hindi natin ito dini-deadmat,
04:24hindi rin naman natin kumaga pinapatulan.
04:27Pero, kumusta naman po yung deployment ng ating tropa doon sa lugar?
04:31Well, yung, you know, we get the reports from the commander of the Western Command, no?
04:37Sila yung may talagang jurisdiction doon at on a day-to-day basis,
04:41sila yung nagbibigay ng mga situation update.
04:43Yung mga ganun insidente, sabi nga ng commander doon,
04:49ay minomonitor nila.
04:51But, whatever happens, no?
04:55Meron tayong contingency plans, kung ano man ang gusto nilang, no?
05:00Without going to the details, we do have contingency plans
05:03for whatever actions na mag-emanite.
05:07But then, sabi ko kanina, medyo normal na yung ano doon,
05:12ang sitwasyon doon sa 57,
05:15at humupan na rin yung sinasabi nilang, ano,
05:17na unusual incident o unusual happening.
05:21Sir, kumusta naman po ang resupply mission sa Union Shoal?
05:25Magpapatuloy po ba ito sa kabila ng pagdami ng mga Chinese ships sa lugar?
05:30Yeah, oo.
05:31So, karapatan natin yun na ipagpatuloy ang ating rotation and resupply mission sa BRP Share Madre L-357.
05:43At sabihin na rin natin,
05:47ito na rin yung laman na rin ng provisional understanding
05:51between our country and that of China
05:54na hindi nila dapat i-disturb o yung galawin o guluhin
06:03ang ating resupply mission dahil ito ay ating karapatan.
06:08Sir, kung sakali pong may gawin na talaga
06:10o lumapit pa ang kwersa ng China sa BRP Share Madre,
06:13ano po yung direktiba ng ating pamahalaan sa ating tropa na nakadeploy doon?
06:18Unang-una, meron tayong pinapatupad na security plan, ano,
06:26doon sa paligid ng Share Madre.
06:29Ang unang-una dito ay hindi natin palalapitin, that's one.
06:33And secondly, without, again, without going to the details,
06:37we do have contingency plans on whatever happens
06:41and it will always be based on sa pinaka-serioso
06:46or worst-case scenario, if I may say it.
06:51Yusek, ay naman po sa AFP na pansin nila na nagbabago
06:55aktibidad o paggalaw ng Chinese ships
06:57sa tuwing may maritime cooperative activity ang Pilipinas.
07:00So, ano po ba yung ginagawa natin dito?
07:03O paano natin sila minomonitor?
07:04Well, our monitoring is always on a 24-7 basis
07:11at dino-document natin yun lahat ng kanilang mga galaw.
07:16That's why our Western Command in particular,
07:21kasi sila yung nandun sa nagmamanage
07:25and supervising the activities of BRP Share Madre,
07:30meron tayong mga kaupulang, ano,
07:34ang tawag namin sa Navy, watch quarter and station bill.
07:36So, different activities, different scenarios,
07:40ay meron na tayong kaupulang plano
07:43or paano pagbabantay.
07:46Okay, sir, may tanong po mula sa ating kasamahan
07:49na si Ryan Lissigues ng PTV.
07:51May social media post daw po sa China
07:54claiming that Batanes is part of China.
07:57Ano po ang reaksyon nindito?
07:58Hindi yun iba.
08:02Katulad nung before,
08:03naglabas sila, di ba?
08:05Yung sinasabi nila,
08:06even Palawan was part of the territoryo ng China.
08:12Again, these are all misinformation,
08:15misinformation,
08:16and all outright lies.
08:19Lahat na ito ay kasinungalingan.
08:21Then again, bakit nilang sinasabi yun?
08:23Kasi ang target audience nila is domestic.
08:25Sinasabi nila doon sa kanilang mga kababayan doon sa China
08:29na ito yung kanilang teritoryo.
08:31But again, hindi natin sinasabi na yun ay lahat ay katotohanan.
08:36In fact, lahat yun ay kasinungalingan.
08:39Hindi nila pwedeng mangyari yun
08:40dahil alam naman ng buong mundo.
08:43So, walang naniniwala sa China
08:45na tayo ay may moral residency,
08:48we have the moral high ground
08:49that we are adhering to international law
08:53and based doon sa 2016 arbitral ruling.
08:57Sila naman, unfortunately,
08:59they are signatory to the UNCLOS
09:02and yet they have a different interpretation
09:05of the international law and the UNCLOS.
09:07Well, that's something very unfortunate.
09:09Sir, may follow-up question po si Ryan Lizuigas ng PTV.
09:13Ano sa tingin ninyo ang rason?
09:15Bakit pati ang batani sa inaangkin na rin nila
09:17batay sa kanilang mga posts?
09:19Part pa rin po ba ito ng ganti nila
09:21sa pagbangga ng kanilang warship sa CCG vessel?
09:26Uh...
09:26Ha, ha, ha.
09:56Ha, ha, ha.
