00:00 Let's discuss the latest incidents of China Coast Guard harassment against Philippine ships.

00:05 We have with us this afternoon, International Studies Professor Renato De Castro.

00:11 Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon, Professor.

00:14 Good morning, Raffy. Good morning, Sandra. How are you?

00:18 I'm okay, Professor. Why does China seem to be more aggressive in their actions against the West Philippine Sea?

00:24 Last time I went to Bajo de Bacinloc, they didn't do anything. They just shadowed.

00:30 But now, they are bombing Philippine ships.

00:32 Well, I will use the term used by the National Defense Secretary, Givocchio Doro, regarding this incident.

00:41 China is now showing us its "conquest".

00:45 The English translation of "conquest" is of course "conquest".

00:50 The term I use is "maritime expansion".

00:53 It really looks like us.

00:55 Last September, of course, we remember when the Chinese Ministry of Natural Resources issued a map.

01:02 From nine dashed lines, they made ten dashed lines.

01:06 They are telling us that this is ours and we will let you leave.

01:11 You will not be able to enter until you ask for our permission.

01:15 So we're facing a reality that China is imposing upon us.

01:19 That is of course, China wants to control 90% of the South China Sea,

01:25 including 85% of our exclusive economic zones in the West Philippine Sea.

01:30 So is it effective what the Philippines and its allies are doing now, patrolling, joint patrol support?

01:37 Yes. If we allow China, we will not have diplomatic protest, we will not have joint maritime cooperative activities,

01:46 we will not have resupply. We are allowing China.

01:49 We are giving China the golden opportunity to win without actually fighting.

01:54 So every move, even the diplomatic protest, we will not ignore it.

01:58 Because it indicates that we are not accepting what China is imposing on us, even the arbitral ruling.

02:05 Of course, the arbitral ruling that we passed in 2016 and of course we won in 2016,

02:11 deprived China of its legitimacy, even on the basis of international law,

02:16 even on the basis of what China said, a historic claim. That's not true.

02:20 So it's just doing it on the basis of what might makes right.

02:25 So this is a long term. So let's not be intimidated.

02:29 Our president issued a strong statement and the last sentence of his statement on Facebook,

02:36 "We should not be deterred."

02:38 Professor, serious engine damage to the ML Kalayaan, the Chinese water cannon attack,

02:46 how can the Philippines respond to China here?

02:49 We cannot respond. What we should do is to make a bug cove that will not be easily destroyed or damaged.

02:57 So we have to adjust to China's tactics. This is a long game.

03:01 So if China promises that, it means that what they did was wrong.

03:08 They should show us that what they are doing is right.

03:10 Just like what they did when they rejected the resolution issued by our Congress.

03:15 The Chinese foreign minister spoke very arrogantly.

03:20 Recently, the article issued by the Global Times, they are belittling us.

03:26 They are saying that we can do this anyway. The Philippines has no strength to challenge us.

03:31 We can beat them.

03:33 So we should wait for the next actions of China here in the West Philippines. Thank you very much.

03:37 We should look at the actions that we will take.

03:39 Thank you, Professor Renato Di Castro.

03:42 Our starting point is the last sentence of our president, "We should not be deterred."

03:49 Thank you. Thank you very much for your expertise.

03:51 Thank you very much.
