00:00 the one person who will be removed from the presidency is the Filipino citizen.

00:07 So it's not fair for one person to call on the president to resign,

00:13 specifically if you cannot pinpoint the specific lapses.

00:18 So there is a process, an impeachment process, everything is there.

00:24 So that exercise can be resorted to by our former speaker.

00:28 But with due courtesy to former speaker Bebot Alvarez who is also a good friend.

00:33 Maybe I don't know where his call came from,

00:38 but I believe what is best at this point of time is not calling for resignations of our officials,

00:45 but asking ourselves, where can we help?

00:49 With so many problems now, why is it that it seems like we are not telling the truth

00:55 in the presence of the people, in the presence of the Filipinos,

00:58 that economic nonsense is the solution to our problems and difficulties now?

01:03 Why don't we address the other problems that we can solve as a country?

01:10 Now, the issue of West Philippine Sea has been there for a very, very, very long time.

01:17 And the issue of the West Philippine Sea is not just an issue of the Philippines and China.

01:25 This is an issue of many other countries.

01:29 The territorial disputes, the boundary disputes, there are many that happen.

01:34 What I know before was that the Bohol and Cebu had disputes.

01:38 In other words, it cannot be solved overnight by a president.

01:44 What is important is that we are seeing concrete steps that the leadership of our country

01:51 will not yield even an inch of our territory.

01:56 That passion, determination, and commitment, that is what is important.

02:02 But calling for a president to resign simply because there is a dispute on territorial boundaries,

02:09 that was never really solved by other presidents.

02:13 Of course, except for the one we won in Hague.

02:20 But again, the implementation became a problem.

02:24 So, these things, let's see what the solution should be.

02:29 Maybe it will be a good contribution of the former speaker to put forward solutions.

02:37 Johns.
