00:00 President Bongbong Marcos agreed to defend the Philippines and will not be a follower of other countries when it comes to its right to the West Philippine Sea.

00:09 That's what he said in a forum in Australia.

00:12 And from Melbourne, Ian Cruz is live on the spot.

00:16 Ian?

00:17 Yes, Connie. It's already 1.30 in Melbourne, Australia.

00:24 And at the moment, President Bongbong Marcos' other schedules are still in motion here in Australia.

00:31 And Connie, in a forum that was brought by the President here in Australia, he said that the Philippines is ready to negotiate with China,

00:38 but we will back down if they take away our sovereignty and rights.

00:44 In his speech in the forum organized by the think tank Lowy Institute in Australia,

00:53 President Marcos laid out the position of the Philippines when it comes to its relationship with China.

00:59 Our independent foreign policy compels us to cooperate with them on matters where our interests align,

01:06 to respectfully disagree on areas where our views differ,

01:12 and to push back when our sworn principles such as our sovereignty, our sovereign rights,

01:18 and our jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea are questioned or ignored.

01:24 Marcos was also asked here why he was the first to change his position on facing China compared to the previous administration.

01:32 We must defend the territory of the Republic. And that is a primordial duty of a leader.

01:41 The territorial integrity of the Philippines cannot be threatened. And if threats are made, then we must defend against those threats.

01:53 And for me, it's almost, as I said, it wasn't a matter of policy choice. It is the duty that I took on.

02:08 But Marcos insisted that the Philippines does not follow the likes of the United States.

02:13 Let me make it very, very clear. The Philippines acts for its own interests.

02:19 And the decisions that we make when it comes to foreign policy are decisions that we make because we believe

02:27 and are convinced and know that it is in the national interest.

02:32 It is not a policy that has been foisted upon us by any country.

02:39 Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, along with Australian Foreign Affairs Secretary Penny Wong,

02:46 were at the Maritime Cooperation Forum on the sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.

02:51 She insisted on following the rule of law in resolving the dispute in the South China Sea.

02:56 At one of the interviews, Manalo defended the government's actions against the public regarding what is happening in the West Philippine Sea.

03:03 If you would stop harassing us and perhaps performing other actions, there wouldn't be any news to report.

03:14 The President also met with the Filipino community here in Melbourne to thank them for their contribution

03:22 not only here in Australia but also in the Philippines.

03:26 Melbourne, Australia is the head of a business group here in Australia regarding their investments in the Philippines

03:41 including the aspect of green energy.

03:45 And Connie, this is Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre where the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit will be held.

03:57 The security is really tight.

03:59 And even here in Yarra River, we saw police patrolling to provide additional security here.

04:08 And Connie, we will also follow the President's official welcome and dinner for the leaders of ASEAN and Australia tonight.

04:19 And that's the latest from Melbourne, Australia. Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.

04:26 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
