00:00Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. says a reset with the Chinese government would depend
00:06on their good faith. This as a response when asked what he would do to reset ties with China
00:11as Chinese forces continue to harass Philippine vessels in the West Philippine Sea.
00:15Any country which approaches us in good faith will not be worried about our defense
00:20resilience because then the motives are clear. In an interview with Bloomberg,
00:24President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said a reset in bilateral ties with Beijing is something that's
00:30certainly going to happen in light of the war on Iran by the US and Israel.
00:34Diplomatic engagements between Manila and Beijing have steadily increased since the year began.
00:39But China continues to aggressively occupy and harass local vessels in the West Philippine Sea.
00:45Teodoro says the Philippines' policy to expose China's hostile actions in the area will still continue.
