00:00 The Philippines can build structures in Ayungin, Seoul to protect the interests of the country.
00:06 According to the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio.
00:11 A business group has a plan to boycott China's products.
00:18 Here is my report.
00:25 In 2014, China launched a fishing boat in the South China Sea.
00:30 The incident happened again in April 2020.
00:35 A Vietnam in a country that has a territory in the South China Sea.
00:39 And as the Philippines experienced, China became aggressive against Vietnam.
00:44 But aside from filing a formal complaint, Vietnam spread its outposts in the South China Sea.
00:50 It also had reclamation projects.
00:53 According to the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,
00:56 the Philippines can do a lot to protect the interests of the country in Ayungin, Seoul.
01:01 They're now creating tension in Ayungin, Seoul to warn us.
01:06 Now it's up to us. Do we want to be intimidated?
01:10 If we allow ourselves to be intimidated, we lose.
01:14 My suggestion is we put up a civilian structure there, a lighthouse.
01:18 And if China continues to harass us in our resupply mission,
01:23 we can send larger coast guard vessels.
01:26 That's one.
01:27 We can also send our navy.
01:29 And the last thing is we can have joint patrols with the US at the same time.
01:37 According to the AFP, there are many possible ways to continue the resupply mission.
01:41 But it refused to comment on the effect of sending a military ship.
01:45 The joint US-Philippine patrol, which was first stated by the National Security Council, is possible.
01:51 Defense Secretary Guilbo Chodoro was upset by the actions of the China Coast Guard.
01:56 We must translate this outrage into sustainable and well-thought-out and methodical response.
02:02 The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry
02:05 reminded that it should be cautious in calling for the boycott of all Chinese products.
02:10 We understand the anger. You know, the boycott is harmful to both countries.
02:17 If they boycott and don't buy our raw materials, our fruits and vegetables, there will be many problems.
02:28 According to some economists, the agricultural and manufacturing sector of the Philippines,
02:35 which is an import-dependent country, should be strengthened.
02:37 We should be more competitive so that we don't have to depend on China.
02:43 I think that's a stronger response than an outright boycott.
02:48 Despite the challenges, the AFP assured that the resupply boats will return to the Union Shoal to deliver supplies.
