04:22Can we consider that

04:26It was removed.
04:28We were able to remove
04:30one of our soldiers.
04:32According to the Philippine Navy,

04:38and one of the ways to study

04:44next time.
04:46But the Philippines will still follow
04:48the rules of engagement
04:50and we will not be the first to be shot.
04:52We should never get into a shooting war
04:54that they would like to push us
04:56to fire the first shot.
04:58Do you understand that?
05:00Do you understand Chinese talk?
05:02We will be shot in the wrong way.
