00:00This is President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., who will continue to guard the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.

00:07He also called on fellow leaders of the countries to jointly address the issues in the South China Sea.

00:13This is what Professor Antonio Conteras will tell us in Punto de Vista, Professor.

00:22Thank you very much, Diane, and good morning.

00:26Many were surprised.

00:28In fact, President R. Marcos spoke about the situation in Vientiane, in Laos,

00:34just after the ASEAN Summit.

00:38And despite his boldness, right in front of the Premier of China,

00:44China's mistakes are what they are doing to our country, to the West Philippine Sea.

00:51This includes the bombing of water, the destruction of powerful laser lights,

01:00the bombing of our ships, the threat and harassment of our fishermen,

01:07our vessels, and our airplanes.

01:12Many were surprised because this was not expected by others.

01:17Because when it comes to diplomacy, you don't mention these things,

01:21especially in ASEAN, where the culture of ASEAN is not to openly discuss controversies.

01:28Is that so?

01:30President Marcos took advantage of that same opportunity.

01:39And I am personally happy because for the first time,

01:42President Marcos returned the backbone of our country to diplomacy.

01:47Where did he talk to the leaders of ASEAN and ten other countries

01:53to help us have a code of conduct in the West Philippine Sea?

01:59It is clear that he said that China's behavior in the region will not change.

02:05This is still being done in the Philippines.

02:08In fact, he lamented that he was not happy.

02:12Although President Marcos did not say that he was not happy,

02:17but of course, it's obvious that he is slowing down in the course of talking about the code of conduct.

02:24In fact, what he said was like the same word, self-restraint.

02:29It's hard to define.

02:32You know, in ASEAN,

02:35there really needs to be unanimity.

02:37Only one country will object, and that's it.

02:39It's always like that.

02:40And there is a culture of non-interference.

02:42Don't worry about the internal problems of a country.

02:45That's why negotiations are slow.

02:48And the non-controversial issues are the ones that are easy to talk about.

02:55If the West Philippine Sea talks about it, it will be difficult.

02:59But as a result of this, they got together

03:02to call attention to what China is doing

03:07and let's put aside the rule of law.

03:10Let's put aside the UNCLOS, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

03:15During the campaign, and even now,

03:19President Marcos' critics call him weak.

03:22But we can now say that what he did

03:26at the ASEAN Summit in Vientiane

03:29was not done by a weak leader.

03:34Aside from him, the only one I remember

03:36who had the courage to face China

03:39and say, this is what China is doing to our country.

03:44Is that what a weak leader should remember?

03:48That's my point of view this morning.

03:52Back to you in the studio, Diane.

03:54Thank you very much. Good morning.

03:56Thank you very much, Professor Antonio Contreras.
