00:00 An expert has assessed the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:05 in his opposition to the Philippines' right to the Philippine Sea.
00:10 While the Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:12 has also continued its role of protecting and guarding the troops,
00:18 even the fishermen in Ayungin Shoal.

00:27 Despite the Chinese Coast Guard's blockade and bombing of the Philippine Sea,
00:34 one of the most disputed territories in the West Philippine Sea,
00:38 the Armed Forces of the Philippines
00:40 has denied the AFP's rotation and reprovisioning mission
00:44 to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin.
00:47 The Armed Forces of the Philippines is duty bound to ensure
00:50 the well-being of its personnel and the BRP Sierra Madre.
00:55 We are therefore committed to the conduct of another role revision for our personnel
01:00 and to maintain our presence in Ayungin Shoal.
01:04 This exercise of our sovereign rights and jurisdiction
01:09 is a testament to the firm belief in the rules-based international order
01:15 that underpins regional peace and stability.
01:18 But the AFP's clarification
01:20 is that the Philippines will continue to defend the rights of the West Philippine Sea
01:25 in a peaceful manner.
01:27 Just recently, the Chinese Fishing Ban was lifted in the South China Sea.
01:33 Fishermen from the country's fishing boats
01:37 again went fishing and were afraid to reach the territory of the Philippines.
01:40 The Department of Foreign Affairs ordered two things.
01:44 The Chinese Fishing Ban was not recognized
01:47 and the country was immediately silenced
01:50 by the fishing vessel that entered the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
01:54 It is ready to implement law enforcement in the Philippines
01:58 or to arrest illegal fishermen in our territory.
02:01 A professor and policy expert in the Asia-Pacific region, Richard Hader Yan,
02:07 has also assessed the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:11 on the rights of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
02:14 The President said that the Philippines will not give up
02:19 any inch of our territory and will follow the international law.
02:24 The decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Philippines in 2016 was approved
02:29 and the Philippines declared its exclusive right to the West Philippine Sea.
02:34 It also removed the nine-dash line of China.
02:37 It is not true that we did not do arbitration work.
02:41 It gave us leverage.
02:42 The truth is that we did not maximize that leverage.
02:47 And for me, in fairness to President Marcos,
02:50 I think he recently mentioned that we are talking to our Vietnamese friends
02:54 to potentially do what the Indonesian Vietnam is doing,
02:58 which is a maritime border limitation based on prevailing international law.
03:02 Wow! What a party!
