00:54archipelagic waters. The president emphasized the country's security forces will never be intimidated

01:01simply because of its right to defend its sovereignty.

03:16while also sending a message to China.

03:26The goal of China while they're, you know, while it's applying what we call gravestone

03:32tactics against the Philippines is to weaken our resolve. But this military exercise,

03:39exercises in the multilateral and the bilateral

03:42exercises are indication that you cannot basically win the Philippines

03:48away from the United States and its security partners.
