00:00 President Bongbong Marcos will be called to China and America

00:04 at the Defense Summit in Singapore where he gave a keynote address.

00:08 President Marcos also asked what is the chance of the Philippines

00:12 using the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Philippines and the United States.

00:16 From Singapore, Saksila, Chino Gaston.

00:24 In his keynote address in Shangri-La Dialogue, President Bongbong Marcos

00:30 said that he will not give up any part of the EEZ.

00:34 In the midst of the tense situation, the Philippines will not back down.

00:40 In his keynote address in the 21st IISS Shangri-La Dialogue,

00:48 the President emphasized the sovereignty and rights of the Philippines

00:53 is based on international law and not just on imagination.

00:56 So the lines that we draw on our waters are not derived from just our imagination

01:01 but from international law.

01:03 First, based on UNCLOS, the Philippine Death Penalty,

01:06 which was strengthened by the 2016 Arbitral Award.

01:09 We have on our side the 1982 UNCLOS and the binding 2016 Arbitral Award

01:15 which affirms what is ours by legal right.

01:18 Because of this, the moral ascendancy of the Philippines is clear and legal

01:23 and this is where the strength of the Philippines is being drawn

01:26 to defend the country until the last square millimeter.

01:30 In this solid footing and through our clear moral ascendancy,

01:33 we find the strength to do whatever it takes to protect our sovereign home

01:37 to the last square inch, to the last square millimeter.

01:42 It is said that the water of the West Philippine Sea flows in the blood of every Filipino

01:47 and the Philippines will never allow it to be separated from the maritime domain of the country.

01:53 The life-giving waters of the West Philippine Sea flow in the blood of every Filipino.

01:59 We cannot allow anyone to detach it from the totality of the maritime domain

02:04 that renders our nation whole.

02:07 As the President, Marcos has promised to defend the country.

02:16 He has no intention of backing down on this commitment.

02:19 The Filipinos, however, do not back down.

02:22 As President, I have sworn to this solemn commitment from the very first day that I took office.

02:28 I do not intend to yield.

02:30 Filipinos do not yield.

02:32 In his statement, President Marcos also called on China and America

02:37 to take an important role in the region.

02:39 China's determining influence over the security situation

02:42 and the economic evolution of this region is a permanent fact.

02:47 At the same time, the stabilizing presence of the United States is crucial to regional peace.

02:53 It's never a choice.

02:55 Both countries are important.

02:57 The continued stability of this region requires China and the United States

03:01 to manage that rivalry in a responsible manner.

03:04 President Marcos was also asked if it is possible to say "crossing the red line"

03:08 if a Filipino is killed in the water cannon attacks of the China Coast Guard

03:13 and what steps can be taken to use the Mutual Defense Treaty in America.

03:18 If there was an incident that ended up killing a Filipino serviceman,

03:25 be they a Coast Guard or in the military or part of the Navy,

03:33 that would certainly increase the level of response.

03:44 If by a willful act, a Filipino, not only a serviceman, but even a Filipino citizen,

03:56 if a Filipino citizen is killed by a willful act, that is, I think,

04:03 very, very close to what we define as an act of war.

04:08 Tonight, President Marcos of the Philippines was asked to return to the Philippines.

04:18 Meanwhile, other government officials will be left to attend additional sessions

04:23 here in the Shangri-La Dialogue where discussions will be held

04:27 on national and regional security and disaster response.

04:31 Live from Singapore for GMA Integrated News, I am Chino Gaston, your witness.

04:37 Kapuso, let's all be witnesses.
