00:00 From more than 100, the number of Chinese ships that were docked in Juan Felipe Reef has decreased by almost 30.
00:10 But some congressmen are not content with the actions of the authorities. Tina, Panganiman Perez, has the story.
00:21 The so-called Great Wall, where more than 100 Chinese ships were docked in Juan Felipe Reef, which is inside our Exclusive Economic Zone, has gradually decreased.
00:31 And yesterday, only 28 ships were docked in Juan Felipe Reef.
00:36 According to the House Special Committee on the West Philippine Sea, some congressmen are not content with the actions of the authorities.
00:45 So, 135 ships were docked on November 5 and 6, and then you reacted on December 2.
00:51 Don't you think that our reaction was too late?
00:54 This is not enough, Mr. Chair, for what our government is doing in this event.
01:04 Are we effective in doing what we are doing right now? I think so.
01:08 Now, here in Juan Felipe, are we going to celebrate this already with 135 down to 28? I think so.
01:16 And then in the next coming days, we're still going to expect that they're going to withdraw.
01:20 The AFP and the Philippine Coast Guard also said that they are doing their best with their limited resources.
01:28 Representative Neptali Gonzalez II has called those who are protecting the West Philippine Sea in the Tilo David vs. Goliath situation.
01:37 But he did not like what the AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner said in the media that the Philippines cannot dock the ships of China.
01:48 My God, please, let's not deliver our punches.
01:52 Because, just like last night, I watched AFP Chief Browner.
01:59 You will say publicly, "It's physically impossible for us to drive them away."
02:05 But it's true. China said, "These people have no capability. They really don't have anything. So, let's just go there."
02:14 We are getting Browner's statement about this.
02:17 There are sensitive information and recommendations of the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea
02:23 that was discussed by the committee in the Executive Session or was kept private.
02:27 But the congressmen promised to support and fund the Philippines' presence in the WPS.
02:36 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
