00:00 My message to Ambassador Weychalla,

00:02 Nepuhao, go home. You're not good here.

00:05 Senator JV Ejercito insisted on the call of Senate President Mig Zubiri

00:10 to return Chinese Ambassador Wang Zhilian to China.

00:15 In the midst of the Chinese' next-to-next clashes with the Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea.

00:21 According to Zubiri, Wang will not help in the situation.

00:26 It's a bad omen if Ejercito will be the one to ask.

00:30 I think the Chinese Ambassador here has been very hostile.

00:33 He should be the diplomatic line,

00:37 he should be the line to ease the tension because of the current circumstances.

00:42 But what's happening is he's pouring gasoline.

00:45 Chief of Staff Gerald Browner told me that they met at a function.

00:51 He went there and told them to stop provoking us.

00:56 Maybe it's better if they can send someone who can talk to them easily.

01:07 This call has a point according to Opposition Senator Rizonte Veros.

01:13 But he's leaving the recommendation to the Foreign Affairs Department.

01:17 He's clear that China is already on the run.

01:21 China is really tired.

01:23 It's like they're already making a protocol,

01:26 their aggressive actions against the Filipinos.

01:31 But it's deeper than our tiredness,

01:35 our intention to not give up the West Philippine Sea.

01:41 Senator Francis Tolentino also wants to send back to the country

01:45 Philippine Ambassador to China Jaime Flor Cruz.

01:49 Anya, how can we pass through diplomacy

01:52 if China is still harassing us in our own exclusive economic zone?

01:57 Senator and former PNP Chief Bato de la Rosa said

02:00 there's no other option but to arm our Coast Guard vessels with water cannons

02:07 like what he said earlier.

02:09 We're just like water to water.

02:11 We're just a commensurate response to their aggression.

02:16 If we're being lasered,

02:18 then we should equip our Coast Guard with lasers to fight.

02:23 We can't just stay here forever like a cat that's being chased by a cat.

02:30 We're being taught to use water cannons by China.

02:33 So I don't see it on the horizon that we should use water cannons.

02:37 More than aggressiveness, continued assertiveness.

02:40 Aside from political and diplomatic actions,

02:43 senators are also encouraging the strength of our armed forces and Coast Guard

02:48 to fight against China's aggression.

02:51 Amor Santos, CNN Philippines.
