00:00A political analyst weighed the reciprocal access agreement between the Philippines and Japan.
00:06According to Professor Antonio Contreras,
00:09although the Philippines and Japan had a bad history during World War II,
00:15it is now over.
00:17And in fact, the relationship between the two countries is getting stronger in terms of economy.
00:23According to the political analyst, the existence of the RAA is a new alliance between the two countries
00:31that can be bettered in the field of the military force.
00:36The Philippines and Japan are sovereign countries.
00:39We have a right to determine how best we can defend our interests.
00:45And having alliances like this would be one of those.
00:49One of the funny things about what China said is that it changed the history.
00:54It told Japan to be careful because if we remember,
00:58China said, if we remember, Japan was the one who was attacked during World War II.
01:04That is already a given fact.
01:06But things have changed.
01:07That was the 1940s.
01:09This is the 2020s.
01:10And things are changing.
01:13Back then, the aggressor, the offender, was Japan.
01:18Now, the one occupying the territories is China.
01:26This is not over yet.
01:27Because the treaty still needs to be ratified by Japan and the Philippines.
