00:00Iba't ibang pagsasanay ang nakakasa sa West Philippine Sea kung saan itinalaga ang Armed Forces of the Philippines ang magiging exercise box.
00:09Samantala, hindi lang sa Senado kundi pati sa Kamara ay nagkaroon ng bangayan hinggil sa issue sa West Philippine Sea.
00:15Yan ang ulat ni Patrick De Jesus.
00:17May buwelta ang Armed Forces of the Philippines sa pagbatikos ng China hinggil sa pagtalaga ng Pilipinas ng large-scale exercise zone sa karagatan at himpapawid ng West Philippine Sea kasama ang Estados Unidos at iba pang mga katuwang na bansa at kabilang dito ang Scarborough Shoal o Bajo de Masinloc.
00:39Una nang naglabas ng Notice to Airmen and All Mariners o NOTAM na nagsimula noong January 21 na magtatagal hanggang sa March 31.
00:49Pinakauna sa naging aktividad ang Maritime Cooperative Activity sa pagitan ng US Indo-Pacific Command at AFP noong nakaraang linggo na nilahukan ng mga barko at aircraft ng dalawang bansa.
01:01Ayon sa AFP, hindi pag-uudyok ng gulo ang mga isinasagawang pagsasanay ng bansa sa loob ng ating Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:10Areas that we have sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction. It covers, it includes Bajo de Masinloc. It is more than 600 nautical miles from mainland China. No provision of international law supports their claim or their accusation. On the other hand, many more such activities and notices will be issued in the coming months.
01:38Muli ring iginigate ng AFP na may mga ebedensya kung sino ang gumagawa ng gulo at pangihimasok sa karagatan.
01:47Historically, the Philippines has been on the receiving end of coercive and aggressive actions. We have not claimed what is not ours. Numbers do not lie. People do. Each time we have an activity, we issue notices either to airmen or mariners. The other side is just making a big deal out of it.
02:06Base sa monitoring ng Philippine Navy noong huling linggo ng Enero, namataan ang 48 barko ng PLA Navy at China Coast Guard kung saan pinakamarami rito ay nasa Bajo de Masinloc na higit sa 20.
02:19Samantala, hindi lang mga mamabata sa Senado ang nagkakaroon ng bangayan hinggil sa usapin sa West Philippine Sea.
02:27Sa Kamara, nagkainitan si na Minority Floor Leader at Four Peace Party List Rep. Marcelino Libanan at Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez.
02:39Sa isang privilege speech, ipinunto kasi ni Libanan na dapat ay maging profesional ang mga opisyal ng gobyerno sa paglalabas ng pahayag.
02:48Nakalaunan ay tinukoy niya si PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J. Tariela, dahil sa naging pag-alman ng Chinese Embassy,
02:57nang gawa ng karikature si Chinese President Xi Jinping.
03:01Hindi nagustuhan ni Rodriguez ang sinabi ng kapwa mambabatas na tila pagdepensaan niya sa China.
03:07I am insulted that a member of this Congress will stand up in favor of China.
03:15Madam Speaker, J. Tariela is doing his job as spokesman of the Philippine Coast Guard
03:22because the very reason why this spokesman has to move and act
03:30is because China has been violating the sovereign rights of the Filipino people
03:37and the Republic of the Philippines for so many years.
03:41I cannot understand why we are protecting China
03:45who has been the cause of all this aggression.
03:50I am not defending China, Madam Speaker.
03:54As I said in my speech,
03:56What I am saying is that we have to act with professionalism, discipline,
04:05and manage our international relations properly, Madam Speaker.
04:11Nagbanta naman si Rodriguez na maghahain ng ethics complaint laban kay Libanan.
04:17Para naman sa AFP,
04:19malinawa nila ang saklaw ng West Philippine Sea
04:21at ang kanilang tungkulin na protektahan ito.
04:25The coordinates could be plotted out.
04:28Anybody will understand na ito ay maliwanag na sa atin
04:31200 nautical miles, 24 nautical miles, 12 nautical miles from our baselines.
04:38Amid the noisy environment,
04:42your AFP will keep performing its mandate with our heads held high.
