00:00 Some senators have already issued the 10-line of China in the South China Sea.
00:05 Daniel Manalastas has the story.
00:07 Even Senator Amy Marcos has also tabled the new map issued by China, the 10-line.
00:17 The map China is making is different, and even if it's a foreign country, it's not accepted.
00:22 But the senator insisted that it's better to talk about it than to fight a war.
00:26 Unfortunately, even if we are hot-headed and we are already bent on attacking our fishermen and our coast guards,
00:37 the first line of defense is really diplomacy.
00:44 Senator Jingoy Estrada of the Department of Foreign Affairs is one of those who issued the China.
00:49 She said that the opposition to China's continued invasion of our territory is justified.
00:57 She said that it reflects the unwavering determination of our sea rights and sovereignty of our country.
01:04 But all of that should still be passed through a peaceful and diplomatic way.
01:09 As for the possible violation of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea,
01:14 Senator JV Ejercito said that China is not listening. It's not recognizing the Hague ruling and continues to bully.
01:22 On our end, we have to do something also.
01:24 First, it's okay to keep the communications line open.
01:29 We are still trying, trying to do it socially and diplomatically.
01:33 More than 100 North Berbales have been sent.
01:36 They are not listening but it's okay.
01:39 Second, we have to put up our... I have been pushing this, Senate President Migs Ubirre also, the AFP modernization.
01:49 We need to have a respectable force.
01:51 Thank you for watching.
