DND Sec. Teodoro, sinabing hindi misunderstanding ang engkuwentro ng PHL Navy at China Coast Guard sa Ayungin Shoal kundi agresibo at iligal na paggamit ng dahas

6 months ago

Kung noong una'y sinasabi ng gobyerno na posibleng misunderstanding o aksidente ang engkuwentro ng Philippine Navy at China Coast Guard sa Ayungin Shoal noong nakaraang Lunes, hindi na raw ganito ang kanilang tingin ngayon. Nanindigan din si Pres. Bongbong Marcos na hindi iaanunsyo ang mga resupply mission gaya ng naunang inirekomenda sa kanya.

00:00If the government was initially saying that the Philippine Navy and China Coast Guard had a possible misunderstanding or accident in Ayungin Shoal last Monday,

00:10they said that this is not what they think now.

00:12President Bongbong Marcos also argued that he will not announce resupply missions,

00:17like the one he was first recommended.

00:19That is my guess.

00:24You know, this was probably a misunderstanding or an accident.

00:28This is the statement of Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on Friday,

00:31when he was asked if the Philippine Navy had a possible armed attack in the Royal Remissions of BRP Sierra Madre on June 17.

00:41After the President visited the Philippine Navy troops in front of the China Coast Guard,

00:46this is what the government thinks about the incident in Ayungin Shoal.

00:49We have now come to the conclusion

00:54that it was not a misunderstanding or an accident.

00:59We are not downplaying the incident.

01:02It was an aggressive and illegal use of force.

01:06But what happened?

01:07This is not yet what we call an armed attack,

01:09a condition for the Philippines to be included in the Mutual Defense Treaty,

01:12and to defend it from the United States.

01:14This is the definition of an armed attack.

01:16It is the use of military force,

01:18an excessive use of force that could trigger collective self-defense.

01:23Even in the Article 51 of the UN Charter and in the MDT,

01:29it will not be included in the definition of an armed attack.

01:32The President also did not approve of the recommendation of the National Maritime Council

01:36after they made a statement this Friday that they will announce regular Royal Remissions,

01:40which is one of their ways to avoid tensions.

01:43In the past, the position of the Philippines in Ayungin Shoal

01:46is a part of the exclusive economic zone of the country

01:49and it should not be allowed to carry out any illegal activities there.

01:52The President has reiterated that we will not publish schedules of any robbery.

02:00Despite these statements,

02:02the Philippines does not pursue war

02:04and continues its relationship with China

02:06to resolve any tensions through diplomacy.

02:10But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs admitted

02:12that there has been no arrest of their Chinese counterpart

02:15since the June 17 incident.

02:17The peaceful means, yes.

02:19It does not disappear.

02:21We are also doing something on the diplomatic front.

02:23We have a mechanism that has been in existence for quite a number of years.

02:28In one statement,

02:29the China Foreign Ministry said that the Philippines should help China

02:33to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

02:37The Philippines did not seem to stop their war

02:40and peace in the international community.

02:43For GMA Integrated News,

02:45Ivan Mejrina, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
