00:00 News! National Security Advisor Eduardo Año has confirmed that the resupply missions in the West Philippine Sea are ongoing.
00:08 Even though the ships of the China Coast Guard and Maritime Militia were abandoned,
00:14 the Philippine ships that are in the resupply mission in the Yungin Shoal.
00:18 The ships of the China Coast Guard and the Philippine resupply boat, the UNIZA May 2, really joined the arms forces of the Philippines.
00:28 Yesterday, past 6 in the morning, a Philippine Coast Guard ship was blocked and bombed by the Chinese Militia.
00:36 Despite the blockade and the Chinese's blockade, the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea said that the resupply mission in the Yungin Shoal was successful.
00:46 Supplies were delivered to the RRB or BRP Sierra Madre in the Yungin Shoal of another resupply boat, the UNIZA May 1.
00:57 The UNIZA Task Force has now followed the dangerous and irresponsible bombing of the resupply mission.
01:03 It is said to be a violation of the sovereignty of our country in the United Nations Charter, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS,
01:12 as well as the prohibition of various international organizations and in the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal Ruling.
01:19 Australia, Britain and Japan are in charge of bombing the Chinese ships of the Philippine ships.
01:26 They called on China to follow the UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal Ruling.
01:32 America, the European Union and Canada were the first to express their support for the Philippines.
01:38 China Coast Guard said that it was legal, competent and professional in the blockade of the Philippine ships and resupply boats.
01:49 The Philippine ships are dangerous and dangerous to approach, so the bombing was carried out.
01:57 Meanwhile, let's talk about the bombing and the violation of China's resupply mission in the Philippines in the Yungin Shoal.
02:04 I am joined by International Studies Professor Dr. Renato De Castro.
02:10 Good morning and welcome to my news.
02:13 Good morning to you, Pony.
02:16 Yes, Professor. How will this bombing of China's resupply boat in the Philippines be illustrated?
02:24 First, let's raise the issue of why they are there.
02:28 Because those are international waters and within our exclusive economic zone.
02:32 They have no right to block us and to harass our resupply mission.
02:39 Because the position of China, let's first understand the position of China.
02:44 When they are doing a radio challenge and for their releases, they are the ocean.
02:50 I admit this. You have no right to enter this or ask for permission.
02:55 This raises the question, why are you there? Why are you anchoring the ocean?
02:59 The July 12, 2016 arbitral ruling said that their 10-line claim has no basis.
03:06 We should explain that China is enforcing their expansive claim in the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea.
03:16 Let's look at the map released by the Chinese Ministry of Natural Resources last September.
03:24 Let's look at the map. That is the root of this issue.
03:29 China is anchoring almost 85 to 90 percent of the South China Sea.
03:35 You mentioned the anchoring.
03:39 Where is the strength of the Chinese Coast Guard that says that their blockade is legal, fair, and professional to the ships and resupply boats of the Philippines?
03:51 They think they are strong.
03:54 Now that China has the second largest economy, they built up their navy, the biggest in terms of numbers.
04:04 The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy has a large number of ships, they just painted them white and made them a coast guard.
04:13 Imagine their coast guard operates almost 800 nautical miles away from their nearest island, Hainan.
04:21 It reaches up to here just to remove our fishermen and to stop our resupply mission.
04:30 The sea is so vast. Why are they blocking us there? Why are they there in the first place?
04:37 Sir, what will be the effect of this incident on the international community if it continues?
04:46 First of all, this is an issue that China is undermining the international maritime order based on the UNCLOS.
04:55 It is clearly stated in the UNCLOS that our maritime entitlement up to our territorial waters is 12 nautical miles.
05:05 Our exclusive economic zone is 200. China is anchoring more than 1,000 nautical miles away from their nearest island, Hainan.
05:17 We will just look at the map, it explains everything. And the map is really made by them.
05:25 Professor, just a moment, we just received news that the Philippines is now in a diplomatic protest against China.
05:33 Professor, aside from this, what other strategy or approach can you suggest to our government
05:40 in the repeated occupation of China Coast Guard in our exclusive economic zone?
05:44 First of all, we will face the fact that our separation with China will be a long time and of course generational.
05:53 Because the South China Sea is determined to be occupied by China.
05:58 So we will have a long and wide separation.
06:03 First of all, what we will do, of course I'm just stating the position of our president and our government,
06:10 we will continue the resupply mission. There will be incidents.
06:16 It's expected. We have to stand on our grounds because if we give up here, China will take it one by one.
06:23 First, the Yongin Shoal. Next, Pag-asa. Next, some land features that we have soldiers. Basically, deprive us.
06:32 Second, we will consider removing the BRP Sierra Madre and put a more permanent structure.
06:42 Earlier, we also talked to retired Supreme Court Justice Javdilesa.
06:50 His advice is that what we are doing now is to file a complaint on environmental damages.
07:00 Although he has not yet said that China should not be involved in the flood,
07:07 but it will be easier to file a complaint because of the UNCLOS, which was the first one to work on environmental damages.
07:19 What is your reaction to that?
07:20 We can resolve that. We will approach the permanent court of our... I'm not a lawyer. I would like to emphasize that.
07:28 My field is international relations, strategic strategic. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not like his advice.
07:36 Maybe we will file a case and put it in the permanent court of arbitration.
07:42 Then we will bring it to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. There will be an article preview on that.
07:48 Of course, we can bring it to the United Nations, but we call it an element of legal struggle.
07:56 But we should not focus simply on that issue.
08:01 Okay. Thank you very much International Studies Professor Dr. Renato De Castro.
08:07 Good morning to both of you.
