00:00 The Foreign Affairs Department called an official of the Chinese Embassy

00:05 to demonstrate the strongest protest against the new harassment of China.

00:12 The defense department also opposed it.

00:16 In the right of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea,

00:21 Chino Gasto is the one who is in charge.

00:26 Despite China's growing aggression, the Philippines will not give up its right to the West Philippine Sea.

00:34 According to Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.,

00:37 China is the only country that believes in its own houses,

00:40 that the Philippines is illegally doing things in its own exclusive economic zone,

00:45 and that the Philippines is the one causing the chaos.

00:48 In the words, we are looking for a fight,

00:53 we are not the one who is blocking anyone in the West Philippine Sea,

00:59 we are the one who is blocking.

01:01 So what are we going to do?

01:03 Are we going to just let it go?

01:05 I don't think that's possible.

01:07 Teodoro urged China to resist its desire to listen to a dialogue

01:12 and a peaceful resolution of the issue.

01:15 If they are really not afraid to spread their claim to the whole world,

01:22 why don't we arbitrate under the international law

01:27 to make it clear to everyone what is the right of everyone?

01:31 Why don't they want that?

01:33 After that, if they are caught in what they are saying,

01:39 they will be accused.

01:41 Is that right?

01:42 According to the Department of Foreign Affairs,

01:44 they called the Charged Affair of the Chinese Embassy

01:47 to allow the Philippines to issue a strict order

01:51 on the aggressive action of the Chinese Coast Guard

01:55 and the Chinese Maritime Militia

01:57 in the resupply mission of the Philippines to Ayungin Shoal.

02:00 The Philippine Embassy also ordered a demarche

02:03 or protest to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

02:07 The Philippines urged that China has no right to Ayungin Shoal,

02:11 which is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines

02:14 and is on its continental shelf,

02:16 based on the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea

02:20 that was approved by the 2016 Arbitral Award.

02:23 China's continued obstruction of routine and legal activities in its EEZ

02:30 is not acceptable because it violates the sovereign rights and jurisdictions of the Philippines.

02:35 The ships of China should leave the Ayungin Shoal and the EEZ of the Philippines.

02:40 The Philippines is making steps

02:43 to lower tensions based on the orders of President Bongbong Marcos

02:48 and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

02:50 This aggressive action of China raises doubts

02:54 if China is sincere in lowering tensions

02:58 and spreading peace and tranquility in the South China Sea.

03:03 The DFA also thanked the international community

03:06 for their support in the Philippines and in defending the international order

03:11 based on the international law.

03:13 21 countries issued a statement of support.

03:17 In an interview, China said again

03:20 that the BRP should remove the Ayungin Shoal

03:23 that the Philippines has promised before.

03:25 The DFA said before that no country in China has promised this.

03:30 For GMA Integrated News,

03:32 Shinu Gaston, for Tutok, 24 hours.
