00:00The discussion in the House Joint Committee hearing was heated, where the issues about the spreading of fake news were discussed, now that the election is near.
00:10There was a clarification between the Saguip Heartless Rep. Rodante Marcoleta and Philippine Coast Guard Spokesman Commodore J. Tariela
00:18up to Tariela's post on the West Philippine Sea.
00:22According to Tariela, she did not call Marcoleta a traitor and she just expressed support for the message
00:29of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. about the West Philippine Sea.
00:33On the other hand, Marcoleta did not make a way for Tariela to explain to netizens that the congressman is not a traitor.
00:41Because of this, Tariela explained that she does not control the reaction of netizens and that it is not her obligation
00:48to protect Marcoleta's name against the issues she is facing.
00:53Even so, Marcoleta said what she meant by her first statements and she believes that there was a misconception.
01:23I stand by the statement of President Bongbong Marcos when he said,
01:28the West Philippine Sea is not just our imagination.
01:33It is ours and it will remain ours until the spirit of our beloved country, the Philippines, is alive.
01:43Hearing someone claim that the West Philippine Sea is merely a fabrication of the Philippine government
01:51is a disservice and an embarrassment to their entire party, the organization he belongs to, and even their own family.
02:00He did not make an effort, for example, to say, I did not say that.
02:05That's all he said.
02:07But you know, people are bashing me. I am a pro-China.
02:11Honorable Marcoleta sir, I think I am not under obligation to tell all the social media influencers,
02:18to bloggers, defend your name, tell them that you are not a traitor.
02:22Again, I did not mention that you are a traitor.
