Transcript
00:00I'm a former J. Tariela, Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea.
00:06Kagnan sa usapin ng Kalayaan Island Group.
00:09Magandang umaga po.
00:11Good morning Sir Egan at magandang umaga lang po sa inyong mga taga-panood ngayong umaga.
00:17Bago na sumama si Sen. Rodante Marcoleta sa Maritime Domain Awareness Flight sa Kalayaan Island Group,
00:24mag-friendly debate daw muna.
00:25Alam ko Sir Egan sinagot ko yan kahapon eh.
00:31Ang sabi ko, I won't be allowing him to debate about our territorial integrity.
00:37Kasi there's no reason for us to debate about it eh.
00:41Secondly, as a member of Senate, he took his oath.
00:45Why would he debate on our territorial integrity?
00:48Eh dun siya sa kabilang side, samantalang kami ni Justice Carpio, Atty. J. Batong Bakal,
00:53will be standing up for the Filipino people.
00:55I mean, I don't get it.
00:57You're part of the Senate and you're going to debate on something that would weaken and undermine our own position, right?
01:04Sabi rin ni UP Professor J. Batong Bakal,
01:07inibitahan din kasama mo kung itutuloy ang debate, pinapakita lang sa mundo na maging ating gobyerno ng mga opisyalis,
01:15eh hindi tiyak pala sa sovereignty ng Pilipinas.
01:19Yes, precisely the point.
01:20Yan nga yung pinaka-kakaibag siya, Sir Egan.
01:24And this is not just an ordinary member of the Philippine government.
01:29He's actually part of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines.
01:33At nadagdagan pa ang BFF mo, si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano naman.
01:40Ikaw na ang tinuturo na dahilan ng mga pagtatalong ito dahil sa karikatsyur na ginawa mo kay Chinese President Xi Jinping,
01:49Commodore Tariela.
01:51Alam mo, Sir Egan, hindi ko alam kung anong pinaghuhugutan ni Sen. Cayetano, eh.
01:56Ang lutong pa naman ng pangalan ko every time na binabanggit niya kagabi.
01:59Pero just the same, I would still afford him the respect of being a senator of the Republic.
02:05Si Sen. Cayetano, hindi ko ma-get kung anong galik niya dun sa karikatsyur.
02:11Pero when was the last time he expressed such passionate statement against the People's Republic of China?
02:19Or even issued condemnation ng office of the senator ni Cayetano?
02:25At the same time when he was the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and he talked about the quorum, and he talked about not mocking any national leader,
02:35what did he say during the time of President Duterte?
02:38When he mocked President Obama, he said a lot of bad things against the Pope himself.
02:43So, hindi ko alam kung anong standard ni Sen. Cayetano with regard to China, ano ang standard niya nung siya ang SFA na minumura ng dating Presidente natin ng ibang tao.
02:55Pero Commodore Tayetano, yung karikatsyur mo, batay nga sa pahayag ni Sen. Cayetano, personally, wala kang nakikitang mali dun sa iyong nagawa.
03:06Well, Sir Egan, muna sa lahat, that is not an official statement that I did to explain incidents that are happening.
03:17That is actually a lecture to university students na ginagawa dito sa sarili nating bansa.
03:25There are no international audience there.
03:28And that is something na ito, i-discuss ko lang for academic discussion sa isang university.
03:37Oo.
03:40Okay, itong meron sila sa Senado na ngayon na pinag-usapan, reaction po?
03:47I'm sorry, Sir Egan?
03:48Meron sila sa Senado na kumukondi na nga sa naging pahayag ng Chinese Embassy, no?
03:54Laban sa ilang opisyal, kasama ka na dito sa Pilipinas.
03:56Reaction lang at meron sila ipapasang gano'ng resolution?
04:00Alam mo para sa akin, Sir Egan, no?
04:03I really appreciate Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, Sen. Yisa Untiberos,
04:08the Senate President, Tito Soto, and Sen. Ping Lakson,
04:11and others who supported this from the very beginning, no?
04:15Para sa akin, it showed that there are majority of the members of Senate
04:21who are willing to stand up for our rights in the West Philippine Sea,
04:24who are willing to condemn all those statements na ginawa ng Chinese Embassy.
04:30And para sa akin, itong indication na ito clearly showed na meron pa rin integridad ng Senado
04:36and those very few people who are seemingly standing up for China,
04:44undermining our own position, does not represent the official stand of the Senate as an institution.
04:51Pahabol ko lang, may hiling pala magbitiw ka raw sa pwesto,
04:55sabi ni Sen. Cayetano, para marisol ba na ang dipagkakaunawaan ng dalawang bansa?
04:59Alam mo, ang linya na yan, yan ang linya ng Chinese Embassy.
05:05Gigil na gigil na sila. Siguro, pagod na pagod na sila sa mukha ko.
05:10Tsaka, gusto ko rin sabihin kay Sen. Cayetano,
05:13ang sabi niya kasi doon sa plenary debate,
05:18uba rin ko daw uniforme ko para daw informe.
05:21Pwede rin naman, uba rin ko uniforme ko,
05:24mag-debat kayo, mag-usap kami ng mga bagay,
05:26pero dapat no holds bar. Napaka-unpair lang kasi si Sir Egan eh.
05:31I accord them the respect.
05:34And then sa Senado, kapag binabanggit ang pangalan ko,
05:38walang ranggo, ang lutong ng Tawiela.
05:42But whenever I give these interviews, I always call them Sen. Marculeta,
05:46Sen. Cayetano, diba?
05:48And sabi niya pa ako, ba rin ko uniforme ko, mag-vlogam na lang daw ako.
05:52I mean, I've been doing this job for more than three years already.
05:57I don't think na meron akong masamang ginawa para sa interest ng bayan.
06:01Para bastusin at babuyin ni Sen. Cayetano ang pagkatao ko.
06:07Maraming salamat, Commodore J. Tariela,
06:09Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea.
06:11Ingat po!
06:13Maraming salamat, Sir Egan.
