00:00What we are doing is defending our sovereign rights and our sovereign people in the West Philippine Sea.
00:22And we have no intention of attacking anyone with water cannons or any other such offensive weapon.
00:31So no, that is not something that's in the plan.
00:36The last thing we would like is to raise the tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
00:41That's the last thing. And that we'll certainly do that.
00:45We will not follow the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese vessels down the road.
00:52Because it's simply, it's not the mission of our Navy or Coast Guard to start or to increase tensions.
01:04Their mission is precisely the opposite. It's to lower tensions.
01:09That's right. So that's why we will not...
01:12What we will do is when there is a war, we will send a demarche, we will send soldiers and other stakeholders.
01:26So that would be the opposite of what we are trying to achieve.
01:30Some kind of, some kind of, any kind of cannon on our ships.
