00:00 After the collision incident in Ayungin, Seoul,
00:02 the call for the Philippines to have maritime zones
00:08 to protect our territory is now stronger.
00:11 In addition, Solicitor General Menardo Guevara said
00:15 that the legal action of the GIL country is being studied
00:19 in the so-called incident.
00:21 The Central News from Daniel Manalastas.
00:26 The Office of the Solicitor General is looking at several legal options
00:30 following the collision of a Chinese ship with a Philippine ship
00:34 for the resupply mission in Ayungin, Seoul.
00:37 It could be before the EAP loss,
00:40 it could be before the permanent court of arbitration again,
00:45 a round two so to speak.
00:47 It can be before the International Court of Justice.
00:49 We don't know that yet.
00:51 We have to firm up first what kind of complaint we're going to file.
00:55 Next, Solgen Guevara believes that the incident was a coincidence
01:00 based on the initial investigation.
01:02 It would appear that the incident was not accidental.
01:06 It was obviously intentional.
01:10 And for that reason, we consider that as a wrongful international act.
01:15 And if their initial view of the incident is correct,
01:19 we will recommend to the Department of Foreign Affairs
01:23 to call on our neighbor, our big neighbor,
01:27 to, in other words, comply with their commitment
01:34 to settle international disputes peacefully
01:37 and further to cease and desist from further committing acts
01:41 that endanger life and liberty.
01:45 Defense Secretary Gilbert Chudoro
01:46 called for a serious escalation of the incident.
01:50 As a result, the Philippines immediately called
01:53 a number of officials of the Chinese Embassy
01:55 to condemn the incident.
01:57 Chinese Ambassador Huang Shiliat has been summoned today
02:02 by Secretary Enrique Manalo of the Department of Foreign Affairs
02:07 to condemn the reckless and illegal act of the Chinese government.
02:13 Likewise, Philippine Ambassador to China Jaime Flor Cruz
02:18 has been instructed to convey the same
02:21 to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
02:23 It seems that China's talks about the code of conduct of the West Philippine Sea
02:27 were made in vain.
02:30 One day after the incident,
02:32 they allegedly violated international law
02:35 and the jurisdiction of the Philippines in the so-called territory.
02:39 What kind of message is this signaling?
02:42 I am... I want to know.
02:46 And we deserve undistorted answers, the truth,
02:51 from the government of China.
02:53 Because once again, we repeat,
02:55 they have neither jurisdiction nor authority
02:58 to conduct any sort of governmental operations
03:02 within our 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone.
03:07 And no justification they can give
03:11 will stand the test of credence.
03:14 The Senate is now in a state of chaos
03:16 when maritime zones are being established in our country.
03:20 The Philippine Coast Guard believes that the OSG
03:23 is a big deal if it is passed into law.
03:26 With respect, with the incident that happened in Ayungen, Soho,
03:30 which falls within the exclusive economic zone of our country,
03:34 I think the passage of a maritime zone would clearly strengthen
03:38 our defined zones in our maritime jurisdiction, sir.
03:43 According to Senator Francis Tolentino,
03:45 this is an urgent measure
03:47 that he has been needing for years.
03:52 Daniel Manalastas for the nation.
