00:00Yusek, when the President said he wants a reset of Philippines-China relations,
00:04ano yung saklaw ng reset na yun?
00:06Buong coverage ba nito, buong aspekto ng relationship natin,
00:12or dun lang sa South China?
00:14Paano po yung reset na gusto niya?
00:16Ace, hindi ko mabibigay kanyang detalye.
00:19Pero yan ang gustong ipahihwating ng Pangulo.
00:23So kung anumang issue meron ang China at ang Pilipinas,
00:26gusto niya magkaroon ng reset sa pag-uusap na yun,
00:30nadinig siya ng ambasador ng China,
00:32nadinig din siya, nadinig din ang Pangulo ng ambasador ng China.
00:37So with that, sana magkaroon ng mas magandang resulta.
00:42But it's just on the South China Sea, not other aspects of relations, I suppose?
00:47Hindi ko mababanggit ang detalye.
00:49Okay po.
00:51Follow-up question po, Maricel Halili, TV5.
00:57Ma'am, quick lang, what was the mood when the President was talking to the Chinese ambasador?
01:03Yung unang pagpasok ng Pangulo, ay rather nung ambasador, ay we welcome, si ambasador.
01:12Pero nung sila po ay nag-usap na sa private room, ay hindi na po natin nakita kung ano ang
01:21tsura ng Pangulo.
01:24Although, nadidig ng konti ang kanyang boses.
01:27So from the outside.
01:29In a way, it was an intense discussion.
01:32Hindi ko masabi, wala po tayo sa loob.
01:36Pero, after the discussion, I understand you cannot give us details, but can we say that it was a successful
01:43meeting?
01:45Did they understand each other?
01:48I guess so.
01:49Kasi pagkatapos at lumaba si ambasador, nakangiti naman si ambasador.
01:55Nakangiti naman din sa amin.
01:56At pagkakita namin sa Pangulo, at kasama si Ralf Recto, nakita naman natin na positibo.
02:05Sa nakita kong mukha ng Pangulo, ay positibo naman na naipa-ubot din niya sa bansang China kung ano yung
02:11nais ng bansang Pilipinas.
02:14Follow-up question po. Kat Domingo, Ibiya Sibian.
02:18Undersecretary, what keeps Malacanang and the President optimistic and faithful that China will still comply with its assertions or its
02:28claims or its, ano ba yung tamang word, deals with the Philippines given that when you have Defense Secretary Gilberto
02:36Teodoro repeatedly saying in public that China is not trustworthy and Beijing cannot be trusted?
02:42Well, we will always be in good faith.
02:44We should always act in good faith.
02:46We should always have in mind that we are dealing with people who will also be in good faith.
02:55Mahirap makipag-deal.
02:56Kapag ang kausap mo, iniisip mo agad magsisinungaling.
03:01So, dapat natin isipin, nakikipag-usap tayo, nakikipag-negotiate tayo, na yung taong kausap natin ay also in good faith.
03:08Does that mean that Malacanang admonishes the statements of Secretary Teodoro about accusing China of not complying with its word?
03:17It doesn't follow, Kat.
03:19It doesn't follow, Kat.
03:20Kung ano man ang opinion ni Secretary Gibbo, being the Defense Secretary, iyon ay kanyang opinion at iyon ay nababasa
03:28din siguro sa kanyang mga facts na nakukuha.
03:30Pero hindi ibig sabihin na ang Pangulo ay makikipag-usap sa representative ng China, ay isipin niya na itong representative
03:39na ito ay nagsisinungaling.
03:41Bakit pa tayo makikipag-usap at makikipag-negotiate kung iisipin naman natin na sila din ay nagsisinungaling?
03:48So, may mga pagkakataon na maaari natin sabihin na hindi sila nagsasabi ng totoo, hindi totoo ang kanilang mga kineclaim,
03:56pero hindi ibig sabihin na pag makikipag-negotiate tayo at makikipag-usap tayo, hindi tayo maniniwala sa kanila.
04:01Last from my end, how necessary is it for the palace to call the attention of Secretary Chiodoro to toe
04:08the line to have more good faith towards China?
04:11Wala. Hindi iko-call out ang Secretary ng Defense.
04:17Alam ng Pangulo kung ano din ang ginagawa ng ating Secretary Gibbo Chiodoro at iyon naman din ay naaayon sa
04:25kanyang mandato.
04:26Ang concern po kasi medyo nakakalito yung dual messaging.
04:28You have the President saying, or you have Malacanang saying, they are exercising good faith towards China,
04:33but you have the Defense Secretary also saying that China is not trustworthy given the actions that they have shown
04:39in the West Philippine Sea.
04:40So, how do you bridge that gap, that divide, when it comes to the messaging of the administration?
04:46That's why, Katrina, sabi ko, it doesn't follow.
04:48First, nung sinabi nila na kanila daw, itong area na to, which is opposite to the arbitral ruling,
04:57So, ano magiging reaksyon ng Secretary Gibbo?
05:02Siyempre iba.
05:03Pero once the President talks to the representative of another country,
05:08hindi pwedeng sabihin natin, hindi ako makikipag-usap sa iyo, sinungaling ka.
05:11So, magkaiba yung sitwasyon.
05:12Hindi natin pwedeng pagsamahin.
05:15Hindi sila magkapareho.
05:17Iba ang Estado ng Pangulo,
05:19iba ang Estado ng Defense Secretary.
05:27Hindi stom хотел Bogu.
