Sir, the Chinese monster ship is in the West Philippine Sea for more than a month now.
00:11
How are you going to respond to this?
00:12
Will you change your approach because it doesn't seem to be leaving the area?
00:19
We don't have the means to let it leave.
00:21
It's not good if we have an aircraft carrier that has a destroyer, frigate, and submarine
00:28
that we will send there so that they can push it far away.
00:32
We don't have that.
00:33
If it's a large and multiple ship, we are far from China.
00:40
But our policy is that we will just continue to defend our sovereign territory and our
00:49
territorial rights in the EEC.
00:52
That's all.
00:53
Whatever mission the Coast Guard or the Navy has to protect the territorial integrity
01:02
of the Philippines, that's what they will do.
01:04
They will continue to do that no matter what any other foreign power does.
01:09
That is what we will do.
01:11
When we detect the presence of a foreign vessel who is beginning to intrude or coming close
01:17
already to our coastal waters, we will challenge them and we will make sure that they know
01:25
that this is what they are doing is illegal.
01:28
Of course, they will counter saying that they're doing regular peacekeeping patrols, law enforcement
01:35
patrols.
01:38
But they will always find the Philippine presence no matter what they do.
01:45
Even if our ships are bombed, even if they use water cannons, lasers, or anything else
01:53
to block us, the Philippines is always there.
01:56
We will always be there protecting our territory.
02:00
We will always be there making sure our fishermen are able to exercise their sovereign rights.
02:07
They are always there.
02:09
That's their mission.
02:11
If their presence helps to...
02:14
Because sometimes, they will make us leave even if it's a big ship, then better.
02:19
Then they will have achieved what they are supposed to do while patrolling our waters.
