00:18Stop claiming our territory.
00:21Stop harassing our fishermen and let them have a living.
00:25Stop ramming our boats.
00:27Stop water cannoning our people.
00:31Stop firing lasers at us.
00:35And stop your aggressive and coercive behavior.
00:38And return the Typhoon missiles.
00:41Stop what you are doing. I will return all of them.

01:04In the program, Defense Analyst Manny Mugato
01:09stated that President Marcos' criticism of the Philippines' use of the United States' Typhoon missile system
01:14was a big hit in China.
01:19China should not dictate what we should do.
01:23Because this is our country. We have the right.
01:27What we want to do is to defend our sovereignty.
01:33That's why the MRC is there.
01:37It's like a training.
01:39If in the end, we want to buy that in America,
01:44we already know how to use it.
01:46According to Ateneo School of Government Professor,
01:49Retired Rear Admiral Romel Jude Ong,
01:52the statement of the executive board is a signal that the Philippines is not bowing to China
01:58and is also working on a way of government
02:01to increase the capacity and capability of the country
02:04to protect the territories and ensure the security of the country.
02:09We also have the right to turn around and jump
02:13to defend ourselves.
02:16President Marcos is saying that you are the one who started the problem
02:21when you entered the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
02:24The effect of that on our energy security and food security was a big hit.
02:30So if you don't want us to do something, leave.
