00:00Well, it's right that the question of House Speaker Martin Ramualdez is that we are in the West Philippine Sea.

00:06And the mayor of the battle for this is the Arbitral Award that is given to the Philippines

00:15here in the most popular territory of the water within the West Philippine Sea.

00:22So, marahong mga paraan. Kasama po rito yung tuloy-tuloy pong pag-ikot ng Philippine Coast Guard dito po sa area po ng disputed waters.

00:33Kasama po rito, syempre yung tuloy-tuloy din po na pagtindig ng Pilipinas doon po sa incursions po ng China within this area.

00:43At ang pangatlo at tingko pinakamahalaga dahil meron pong seryosong ginawa ang Beijing sa ating pong dating senador

00:52at ngayon po ay ordinary mamamayang Francis Tolentino.

00:56Ang ginawa na po ng Department of Foreign Affairs ay I think pinatawag po yung Chinese Ambassador

01:01at nagbigay po ng ilang mga pahayag sa usapin po na ito.

01:05Pero paninindigan pa rin po natin na dapat po proportional at talaga po halos katapat yung pong tugon ng Pilipinas

01:14dito po sa ginawa nga travel sanctions laban kay former Senator Francis Tolentino.

01:21So, ibig sabihin, kailangan din po in the same manner, makapag-impose din po tayo ng travel restrictions, travel sanctions

01:30sa mga Chinese nationals, high-level Chinese nationals, na talaga naman pong nagsaspread ng disinformation, misinformation

01:39sa usapin po ng West Philippine Sea.

01:44Alam po ninyo, siguro hindi ka Pilipino kung hindi ka sasangayon sa panawagan po ng ating House Speaker

01:54at ng mga kasama nating kongresista dito po sa Arbitral Award.

02:00In fact, ito po ay ang pagpoprotekta po sa ating soberenya ay obligasyon po, hindi lamang namin,

02:07kundi obligasyon po ito ng bawat Pilipino.
