00:00Even though China used the Philippine ships Water Cannon a few times,
00:04President Marcos insisted that the Philippines will not use it against China.
00:09The National Security Council called the fake news
00:12the statement of the Chinese Embassy that China and the current administration have an agreement regarding the Ayungin Shoei.
00:20Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:22The statement of the Chinese Embassy that China and the current administration have an agreement regarding the Ayungin Shoei.
00:32AFP Western Commando Westcom agreed that the Defense Department and the National Security Council of NSC have an agreement.
00:40But the National Security Council insisted that this is not true.
00:45This is pure and clearly fake news on the part of the Chinese Embassy.
00:51The Foreign Affairs and Defense Departments and AFP were the first to deny that the Marcos administration has an agreement with China.
00:59I don't think there is any cause for the investigation because this narrative coming from China is simply there to create dissent and sow disinformation to our countrymen.
01:15The Philippine Coast Guard noticed that it was spreading fake words about China.
01:21Every time they arrest the ships of PCG and BFAR in the West Philippine Sea.
01:25They want to justify why this kind of aggressive actions by China is also being amplified by pro-China trolls without naming names.
01:38These influencers somehow are affecting the Filipino people's appreciation of what's really happening in the West Philippine Sea.
01:48Last week, in Panatag Shoal, the Philippine Coast Guard was hit by the water of the Chinese forces.
01:54So some say that the ships of the Philippine Coast Guard should also have water cannons.
01:59But the President does not agree with this stance.
02:02We have no intention of attacking anyone with water cannons or any other such offensive, I would have to call them weapons because they are already damaged.
02:12So no, that is not something that's in the plan.
02:15It is not the mission of our Navy, our Coast Guard to start or to increase tensions.
02:22Their mission is precisely the opposite, is to lower tensions.
02:27The Philippines has no plan to confront China's aggressive actions.
02:31The government continues to use diplomacy and to maintain its presence in the West Philippine Sea.
02:38Another ship was sent by the Philippine Coast Guard to Sabina Shoal to support BRP Teresa Magbanwa,
02:45who has been guarding the Chinese militia vessels there for a week.
02:50According to security analyst Ray Powell, BRP Magbanwa is investigating the possible impact of crash corals in Bahura,
02:59like what was seen in San Dikey near Pagasa and Rosul Reef in Recto Bank.
03:05China previously mentioned that its Gentleman's Agreement and the Duterte Administration want the Senate to investigate.
03:12We are a small country. China is big.
03:16We cannot match her ship for ship, plane for plane, dollar for dollar, nor do we want to.
03:25Our best weapon is the truth, shining a light on the coercive tactics of the Chinese government.
03:34Former President Rodrigo Duterte once said that no one should be targeted in China in his term,
03:40even though there is a change of control in their territory and there is no guarantee of China's entry into the EEZ.
