00:00Q. How about the acquisition of Taifun? The Taifun may sign soon. How will you reach that decision?
00:09A. It's not a finality because there must be consent to sell. However, we are planning to have such kinds of capabilities. I'm not saying the Taifun. I'm saying such kinds of capabilities.
00:23Q. China said that we should not go down the wrong path.
00:29A. I think the whole world knows who is on the right path and the wrong path. Definitely, we cannot take advice from people who distort the truth. Nobody believes them anyway. I think it's a waste of time to broadcast the claims of China because only their leadership believes in what they say anyway.
00:52Q. Regardless of what they say, we will proceed with our people-friendly approach?
00:55A. Definitely. We have the force of international law on our side, not merely Philippine law. China does not have the force of law on its side. It does not have right on its side. That's why they're leftists.
