The Chinese are resorting to different kinds of tactics.
00:05
There's bullying.
00:06
They understand the importance of propaganda.
00:10
It puts legitimacy to their illegal claim.
00:15
They say, "We're already agreeing with the Philippines, so why are you acting this way?
00:21
Why are you changing our agreement?"
00:23
That's what they're showing, so that at least there's a semblance of "We've already talked about this.
00:30
Why do we have the right to push back all your resupply missions there?"
00:38
You know, forwarding their illegal claim.
00:41
What's painful here, as a citizen of this country,
00:45
there are portions in our society that also double down on the wrong narrative of China.
00:54
It's like they act as the mouthpiece of China.
00:58
That's where I get angry.
01:01
I think it's very clear, the position of our government, that we have to fight for our claim.
01:09
This is not just arbitrarily claimed by the Philippines. The basis for this is the ruling of the UNCLOS.
01:16
Internationally, we have the moral high ground to claim these areas in the West Philippine Sea.
01:24
That's where I get hurt, because we have our fellow citizens, segments in our society,
01:31
who are also becoming apologists for China, becoming the mouthpieces.
01:39
The worst is they become mouthpieces of China.
01:41
They double down on all the illegal claims of China.
01:46
We have to side with our own.
01:50
We have to side with anybody whose position really is to protect our national interest.
02:00
We have to side with our fellow citizens.
02:02
We have to side with the people whose interest is to protect our territory and sovereignty.
