00:00 Even though the Philippines used water cannons on the Chinese ships several times,

00:04 President Marcos is not using them against China.

00:09 The National Security Council called the fake news

00:12 the statement of the Chinese Embassy that China and the current administration have an agreement on the show.

00:20 Witness, Chino Gaston.

00:22 [Music]

00:25 The Chinese Embassy said that Beijing and the current administration have an agreement on the show.

00:32 AFP Western Commando, Westcom, agreed that the Defense Department and the National Security Council, or NSC, have an agreement.

00:41 But the National Security Council denies it.

00:45 This is pure and clearly fake news on the part of the Chinese Embassy.

00:51 The Foreign Affairs and Defense Departments and AFP denied that the Marcos administration has an agreement with China.

00:59 I don't think there is any cause for the investigation

01:04 because this narrative coming from China is simply there to create dissent and sow disinformation to our countrymen.

01:15 The Philippine Coast Guard noticed that it was broadcasting fake news about China.

01:21 Whenever they catch the ships of the PCG and BFAR in the West Philippine Sea.

01:25 They want to justify why this kind of aggressive actions by China is also being amplified by pro-China trolls without naming names.

01:39 These influencers somehow are affecting the Filipino people's appreciation of what's really happening in the West Philippine Sea.

01:48 Last week, in Panatag Seoul, the Philippine Coast Guard was hit by the water of the Chinese forces.

01:54 Some are saying that the ships of the Philippine Coast Guard should also have water cannons.

01:59 But the President does not agree with this stance.

02:02 We have no intention of attacking anyone with water cannons or any other such offensive, I would have to call them weapon because it's already damaged.

02:12 So no, that is not something that's in the plan.

02:15 It is not the mission of our Navy, our Coast Guard to start or to increase tensions.

02:22 Their mission is precisely the opposite, is to lower tensions.

02:27 The Philippines has no plan to face China's aggressive actions.

02:31 The government continues to use diplomacy and to maintain its presence in the West Philippine Sea.

02:38 Another ship was sent by the Philippine Coast Guard to Sabina Shoal to support the BRP Teresa Magbanwa,

02:45 which has been guarding the Chinese militia vessels there for a week.

02:50 According to security analyst Ray Powell, the BRP Magbanwa is investigating the possible impact of crash corals in Bahura,

02:59 like what was seen in San Dikey near Pagasa and Rosul Reef in Recto Bank.

03:04 China has previously mentioned that its gentleman's agreement and the Duterte administration wants the Senate to investigate.

03:12 We are a small country. China is big. We cannot match her ship for ship, plane for plane, dollar for dollar, nor do we want to.

03:25 Our best weapon is the truth, shining a light on the coercive tactics of the Chinese government.

03:33 Former President Rodrigo Duterte has previously insisted that no one should be targeted in China in his term,

03:39 even though there is a change of control in some territories and there is no violation of China's entry into the EEZ.

03:46 For GMA Integrated News, I am Chino Gaston, your witness.

03:51 How will the Rice Tarification Law be amended?

03:56 President Bongbong Marcos is ready to certify urgently.

03:59 The National Food Authority has the possibility to sell rice to the country to lower its price.

04:08 In 2019, the power of the NFA was lost due to the Rice Tarification Law.

04:13 That part of the law is the amendment plan.

04:16 The Agriculture Department still favors the extension of the law instead of implementing its original passage next year.

04:25 The gunman who confessed to the murder of Percy Lapid, Joel Escorial, was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

04:34 According to Lapid's family lawyer, Percival Mabasa, in real life, the murder of Escorial was not considered a homicide,

04:43 but he pleaded guilty as an accomplice in the crime.

04:46 Escorial was given the condition of prosecution.

04:50 Escorial will remain in the PNP Custodial Center until Christopher Bacoto, who is also an accomplice in the murder, is released.

05:00 The OFW couple was injured after a piece of land in Hong Kong collapsed.

05:07 According to the Labor Attaché of the Philippines, the two were both domestic workers who were living on the veranda when the collapse happened.

05:18 The two were rushed to the hospital, where the condition is stable.

05:22 They were also brought by consulates.

05:25 The landslide there caused heavy rains, according to the Consul General of the Philippines in Hong Kong.
