00:00 "Whether there is an agreement or not between the Philippines and China regarding the departure of the PRP Sierra Madre from Ayung-e-Shoul,

00:07 the Philippines should not forget that the illegal activities of China are the main threat to our rights in the West Philippine Sea,"

00:16 said Defense Secretary Gilberto Chedoro Jr.

00:19 May 1, Chino Gaston.

00:25 More than a week after the Chinese ships bombed the waters of the Unaisa May 4 in Ayung-e-Shoul,

00:31 Defense Secretary Gilberto Chedoro Jr. has a warning.

00:35 In response to the so-called "gentleman's agreement" between President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping,

00:42 Chedoro said not to worry about the so-called propaganda of the Chinese government

00:47 where they are trying to talk away from their illegal activities.

00:52 The Philippines should not forget that the main threat to the Philippines' rights in the West Philippine Sea

00:58 are the illegal activities of the Chinese government.

01:01 The so-called "gentleman's agreement" came from the former spokesperson of former President Rodrigo Duterte,

01:07 Attorney Harry Roque, where the Philippines promised not to send repair material to the PRP Sierra Madre in Ayung-e-Shoul.

01:15 The Philippines did not comply with this because of China's harassment.

01:21 But the former Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo denied this agreement and said that the former president did not enter such an agreement.

01:30 National Security Advisor Eduardo Año also talked to the National Security Advisor of the United States, Jake Sullivan,

01:37 about the harassment of the Chinese Coast Guard and Maritime Militia.

01:41 In a statement by the White House, the United States reiterated that their support for the Philippines remains strong under the Mutual Defense Treaty.

01:50 Presidential Assistant on Maritime Concern, Secretary Andres Centino said that whenever there is a resupply mission in Ayung-e-Shoul,

01:57 the response is not less than 10 ships of China.

02:01 More and more aggressive.

02:03 Now China.

02:05 The worshipers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, although not blocking, are getting closer to the island.

02:12 In the past, there were fewer numbers of vessels, but now it has increased in number.

02:18 The distance from where they start blocking or challenging has been further out, unlike before.

02:25 It has become, it caused already harm and injury.

02:30 We have observed an increase in the aggression.

02:36 The Philippines will implement countermeasures.

02:39 Will they all be eliminated?

02:42 Well, it will be comprehensive.

02:48 We will, I think we'll just have to wait for the council to be convened.

02:53 According to Professor J. Batong-Bacal, under international law, countermeasures can mean different actions.

03:01 It doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to be entering into a fight.

03:05 It can include everything from talking with your friends and allies to impose joint actions against that offending state,

03:17 as well as taking legal actions.

03:20 This is the first news.
