00:00There is no truth whatsoever to the claim of the Chinese Coast Guard that the Pag-Asa case has been ceased.

00:09The facts on the ground do not support this statement coming from the Philippine Chinese Coast Guard.

00:17Therefore, we urge the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Coast Guard to act with restraint

00:27and not increase tensions in the West Philippine Sea.

00:32We also ask them to stop all provocative activities in the West Philippine Sea,

00:40to uphold international law, and to help reduce tensions in the West Philippine Sea at this time.

00:48It is not to the benefit of any nation if these things are happening,

00:53nor is it to the benefit of any nation if such irresponsible announcement and statements

01:00are released to the public and to the world.
