00:42We are here, ordinary Filipino citizens and the youth are here on July 12th because we
00:50believe that July 12th should be commemorated as the West Philippine Sea Day and that it's
00:57important that Filipinos are remembering the day where we were the international
01:02community stood with us and the Filipino fisher folks in our victory that the
01:09West Philippine Sea is for the Filipinos. So eight years later we are still here
01:16we're still fighting in solidarity with our Filipino fisher folks because we
01:21believe that in remembering we are also honoring the victory that our Filipino
01:29fisher folks were able to win for all of us. There's nothing that China will do to
01:36for us to to back down what they should be doing instead is to honor the ruling
01:44of the Hague Tribunal and at the same time get out of the West Philippine Sea.
