00:00At a Yungan Shoal, Chinese ships and drones circle BRP Sierra Madre.
00:04Their message? Intimidation.
00:07But 74% of Filipinos see through it.
00:10And 85% say China cannot be trusted.
00:13Not because of propaganda, but because of lived experience at sea.
00:17Last week's standoff is not new.
00:20It's part of a pattern.
00:21China surrounds our shoals with ships, sends drones, and then denies aggression.
00:27Their media calls the Philippines provocative.
00:30While trolls blame the U.S. for distrust.
00:32But the facts tell another story.
00:34International support showed defensive cooperation with allies.
00:39The U.S. reaffirmed freedom of passage.
00:41And surveys confirm Filipinos recognize who the real threat is.
00:46China's strategy is clear.
00:48Escalate at sea, deny in words, and distract online.
00:52This is cognitive warfare.
00:53A battle for perception and willpower.
00:57Yet Filipinos are not fooled.
00:58Distrust in China cuts across all regions and classes.
01:03This is not hatred of people.
01:05It is vigilance against aggressive actions.
01:07Every soldier on Sierra Madre is proof of sovereignty.
01:11Every allyship is proof of support.
01:13And every Filipino voice calling China the top threat is a shield in this information war.
01:18The West Philippine Sea is our food, livelihood, and dignity.
01:24Protecting it means protecting fisherfolk, families, and our future.
01:2885% of Filipinos distrusting China is not just a statistic.
01:33It is a declaration of unity backed by law and alliances.
01:37A Jungian standing strong is our stand as a nation.
01:42Share the truth.
01:43Stand united.
01:44Because the seas we defend today are the lifeline of generations to come.
