00:30.8
And of course, in light of that, gusto kong balikan itong isang issue na ito mga kameta
00:34.9
Kasi pansin ko, there's some interesting developments naman of course
00:43.5
Over the past years or so
00:48.4
Past years or so, which is itong
00:51.4
How should I put it?
00:56.1
Naging common sense na
01:00.3
Naging commonsensical ng tao
01:02.2
Wala nang mga pasikot-sikot
01:06.2
Wala nang mga excuse-excuse
01:10.1
Wala nang mga pakiyot-pakiyot
01:11.7
Wala nang mga paspin-spin
01:13.7
Harry Roque style
01:14.9
No, I mean we're seeing gladly, finally
01:17.2
More and more Filipinos coming out and saying
01:20.9
More and more Filipinos coming out and saying
01:23.0
Grabe naman itong bullying na ito
01:24.5
More and more Filipinos coming out and saying
01:26.1
Calling out to spade to spade
01:27.2
Including mga politikos
01:28.8
Including a number of people in the Senate
01:30.5
A number of people dyan sa ating Kongreso
01:32.5
The leadership of the Congress
01:34.4
The leadership of the Senate
01:35.5
Both Senator Mig Zubiri
01:37.3
And Speaker of the House Martin Romaldes
01:40.6
All of them have been coming out and very strongly
01:42.9
Speaking out against dun sa bullying ng China
01:45.6
Ang concern ko lang naman dito mga kameta
01:49.6
You know, when it comes to these matters
01:54.3
I always appreciate
01:57.1
Kung may mga namulat
01:58.2
I always also appreciate naman yung
02:00.9
You know, I always appreciate
02:03.3
You know, people speaking out
02:06.2
The more the better
02:07.5
Because after all, of course
02:08.7
Ang pinag-usapan natin dito
02:10.0
Yung ating karagatan
02:11.6
Ating interes ng ating bayan
02:13.6
Ating national sovereignty
02:15.2
All of those things
02:15.9
So, you know, I appreciate all of those things
02:18.1
Ang akin lang naman dito
02:19.5
Simple lang naman eh
02:20.7
Two things matter
02:26.1
Consistency and intention
02:27.2
Kind of related yung dalawa na yan
02:29.6
Kung ang intention may klara sa isang bagay
02:32.3
Magiging consistent ka over time
02:39.9
Kahit anong ingay natin dyan
02:43.4
Sa West Philippine Sea issue
02:44.5
Ang katotohanan is
02:46.6
The people who should have made the right decision
02:49.0
Are already making it
02:50.2
So si Paulo Marcos Jr.
02:52.8
Made a strategic and executive decision
02:56.1
Sa stand-up na tayo sa China
02:57.3
Now we're gonna call out
02:58.5
The spade to spade
02:59.3
We're gonna push back against bullying
03:01.3
We're gonna push back against aggressiveness
03:03.2
We're gonna push back against
03:04.5
All sorts of shenanigans
03:07.1
Dyan sa West Philippine Sea
03:08.4
So etong green light
03:09.8
Ay binigay ni Marcos Jr.
03:12.3
Especially after yung kanyang pagbisita sa China
03:14.7
Nung pumunta sa China
03:17.1
Gets na gets ni Paulo Marcos Jr.
03:20.3
Na talagang hopeless case
03:22.0
Ang etong status ko
03:24.2
Because ang China
03:25.0
Hindi tayo nire-respect
03:26.1
Hindi tayo sineseryoso
03:27.2
Bakit naman tayo sineseryoso
03:29.0
At sanayin sila na
03:30.0
Purong mga digong style lang
03:31.5
Yung presidente natin
03:34.0
I would say 5 years
03:35.4
Because in fairness
03:37.7
Nang term ni President Marcos Jr.
03:40.1
President Rodrigo Duterte
03:41.6
Noong October 2021
03:43.0
He called out naman China
03:44.9
Dun sa ASEAN-China Summit
03:46.2
He called out China
03:47.2
Essentially sinabi niya na
03:51.1
Makikala ko kaibigan tayo
03:52.6
Don't do this to your friends
03:54.6
Which is the line
03:55.8
We also hear from
04:03.8
In more recent months
04:06.1
Siyempre malapit na elections
04:10.2
I mean going back to this
04:11.6
Ito kasi yung issue ko
04:13.0
Yung timing ngayon is
04:15.6
Kung anong ingay natin
04:17.0
In fairness naman
04:17.9
Marcos Jr. has already
04:18.8
Made the decision
04:19.5
He goes January to China
04:21.1
He's expecting that in China
04:23.1
He's gonna get some
04:23.8
Major concessions and agreements
04:25.3
Concessions pagdating sa
04:27.4
West Philippine Sea
04:28.4
Concessions pagdating sa mga
04:30.6
Chinese infrastructure projects
04:32.0
Na hanggang pledge lang
04:33.1
At wala naman nangyari talaga
04:34.7
So lahat yan na diba
04:37.1
President Marcos Jr.
04:38.9
Some solid developments
04:41.8
Among them of course
04:44.5
Na magkakaroon ng isang
04:45.8
Service contract agreement
04:47.3
With a Chinese company
04:51.6
Yun ang expectation
04:56.4
Paubos ng Malampaya plan
04:59.6
Energy and economic
05:00.5
Securities at stake
05:01.5
So kailangan natin
05:04.4
Joint exploration
05:05.3
Negotiations with China
05:08.6
Under a service contract
05:09.8
Kasi ibig sabihin
05:10.4
Ang service contract
05:11.2
Kinakontrata lang natin
05:12.8
Yung mga Chinese companies
05:15.0
Katulad na ginawa natin
05:17.1
I think shell company
05:18.1
So hindi sa shell
05:22.6
But we contracted
05:25.1
So we were looking
05:26.1
At something like that
05:27.0
Whereby China can
05:28.9
May consuelo sila
05:30.8
But at the same time
05:32.8
Yung ating saligang batas
05:34.7
Yung ating legitimate
05:36.3
Per international law
05:38.0
Per United Nations
05:39.5
Convention Law of the Sea
05:40.9
The Arbitration Award
05:45.4
Yun ang in-expect
05:48.0
Magkakaroon ng some clarity
05:50.2
In-expect ni Paolo Marcos Jr.
05:52.0
Na magkakaroon din
05:55.7
Infrastructure projects
05:56.7
Yung three railway projects nila
06:00.8
All sorts of different
06:02.1
Big ticket infrastructure projects
06:03.4
Under Belt and Road Initiative
06:04.5
Na pinangako nila
06:06.3
Na wala naman nangyari
06:08.1
At taas ng interest rates
06:09.3
Hindi natin alam nangyari
06:12.7
When you look at all of those things
06:13.7
So President Marcos Jr.
06:14.7
Is expecting something
06:17.0
He goes two days there to China
06:18.5
And then they release
06:19.8
This long statement
06:21.5
Walang concessions
06:22.7
Walang anything of substance
06:24.4
Nang binigay ang China
06:26.5
So that was crazy
06:27.7
So President Marcos Jr.
06:30.7
I mean he has been dealing with
06:32.5
Since kabataan pa siya
06:34.1
Anak siya ng dati natin
06:35.6
So bata pa lang siya
06:36.4
He was seen as kind of
06:43.0
Namit niya na nung kabataan niya
06:44.2
So this guy knows how to deal
06:45.2
With the big powers
06:46.2
Psychologically at least
06:48.4
If not intellectually also
06:51.5
Hindi tayo siniseryosa ng China
06:53.3
Hindi tayo nang respeto ng China
06:55.1
We have to do something different
06:56.0
Kaya nag-decision siya
06:58.9
I-expand natin itong
06:60.0
Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement
07:01.3
Nag-decision siya
07:03.2
Itong Philippine Coast Guard
07:04.3
Na maging agresibo
07:06.7
Transparency Initiative
07:09.8
Bullying ng China
07:11.2
Sa West Philippine Sea
07:12.1
Nakikita din natin
07:14.0
Sorry masyadong dark pa
07:15.1
On ko nga itong light na to
07:22.1
Hindi ito ito ito
07:31.3
Hindi mas clear to
07:37.8
May production pa eh
07:41.2
Hindi ganito kasi
07:43.9
President Marco Jr.
07:45.0
Gets na gets nila
07:46.6
Itong negotiation with China
07:48.1
Unless we get their respect
07:50.1
From a position of strength
07:51.1
Yun ang parating sinasabi
07:53.3
For negotiating with China
07:54.8
We're dealing with China
07:56.0
We're diplomacy with China
07:56.9
But from a position of strength
07:58.5
Bawawastusin lang tayo
07:59.7
Bubulin lang tayo
08:01.0
And it will be essentially
08:03.8
A question of subjugation
08:05.4
It's a question of
08:07.0
It's a question of
08:11.2
At yan ang ayon natin
08:12.5
So President Marco Jr.
08:14.2
Also green-lighted
08:15.0
Philippine code card
08:15.7
Taking a more aggressive stance
08:17.2
Binubuking yung mga kabulian
08:20.0
Yung isa pang ginawa
08:20.8
Ni President Marco Jr.
08:24.6
Mga military exercises
08:26.3
Sa ilalim ng balikatan exercises
08:31.3
All sorts of different
08:32.2
Major major exercises
08:39.8
Tuloy-tuloy din itong mga
08:41.0
Defense deals natin
08:41.9
With other countries
08:42.7
Including India for instance
08:44.0
And some countries
08:44.8
In the Middle East
08:45.8
So push lang tayo ng push
08:47.6
Not to mention also
08:48.7
Building ties strongly
08:50.9
With United Kingdom
08:51.9
These kinds of countries
08:53.4
So things are looking
08:54.5
Very good for the Philippines
08:55.4
On multiple fronts right now
08:57.0
Developing our position
09:02.7
Hindi nila appreciate ito
09:04.1
Nabuisit yung China
09:06.4
Na purong tatay digong lang
09:10.3
Turuan tayo ng leksyon
09:11.4
So kaya yung ginagawa nila
09:13.0
Ngayon ng bullying
09:13.6
Sa West Philippine Sea
09:14.6
Ay isang response
09:16.5
Dun sa kanilang realization na
09:18.3
They have lost the Philippines
09:19.5
Na hindi na ito yung
09:20.4
Pilipinas ni Digong
09:23.4
They're having a hard time
09:24.3
Accepting that reality
09:25.5
So they're relying on
09:29.1
Kind of water canoning
09:31.1
Kind of intimidation
09:32.6
That are increasingly
09:33.3
Moving towards an arm attack
09:36.2
But are also more
09:37.0
Increasingly aggressive
09:38.2
Dun sa kanilang mga
09:44.8
Pero may konting ganaw
09:45.7
May konting ganaw
09:46.8
Yung mga nagba-basketball
09:47.7
Alam niyo yung mga
09:48.6
Ganyang kalakaran
09:49.4
Yung hindi mo susuntokin
09:50.9
Pero lahat gagawin mo
09:51.8
Except susuntokin mo
09:54.8
So parang ganun yung
09:55.8
Ginagawa nila sa atin
09:59.9
Obviously of course
10:00.6
This raises a lot of challenges
10:03.0
Dapat ang Pilipinas
10:04.5
Magkakaroon ng more
10:07.3
With this situation
10:10.3
Automatically ma-apply
10:11.4
Mitchell Defense Treaty
10:12.9
Tinutulungan ng Israel
10:13.8
Tinutulungan ng Ukraine
10:17.5
Philippines may treaty ally
10:18.8
So wala silang takas
10:20.4
Both Republicans and Democrats
10:22.5
Must hate nilang China
10:24.6
May division sa US
10:25.6
But on the issue of China
10:27.2
There is unanimity
10:28.9
That China is the threat
10:30.1
Whether they like
10:31.2
Philippines or not
10:31.9
Magkakaroon ng intervention
10:33.0
Ng US in this part of the world
10:34.1
Kung bubulin tayo ng China
10:36.2
Meaning through an arm attack
10:37.3
But the problem is
10:38.0
That China is smart enough
10:38.9
They're not gonna do
10:41.4
But they're doing
10:42.1
Anything short of an arm attack
10:44.6
Ito kasi ang problema ngayon
10:49.0
Meron kang presidente
10:51.3
Ginagawa yung tama
10:52.2
More or less tama
10:53.5
Yung mga coordination
10:55.4
Maganda yung kanyang messaging
10:56.6
So he speaks softly
10:58.5
But he's trying to carry it
11:00.1
Thicker and bigger stick
11:01.8
Because of our stronger alliances
11:03.5
Because of modernization of AFP
11:05.7
Expansion of modernization
11:07.1
Of Philippine Coast Guard
11:07.9
Which is arguably
11:08.6
The best coast guard
11:09.8
In Southeast Asia right now
11:11.8
Of aggressive modernization
11:13.0
Having said all of those things
11:16.7
Mapakit na mga politiko ngayon
11:19.4
Pa West Philippines si sila
11:21.3
Na anti-China sila
11:23.4
Mas kailangan kayo
11:25.0
Nung panahon ni Digong
11:26.4
Kasi nung panahon ni Digong
11:31.8
To build a strong alliance
11:36.2
That are not threatening us
11:38.0
Nung panahon ni Digong
11:39.7
Grabe yung ginagawa ni Digong
11:41.5
Nakakaya yung mga sinasabi niya
11:43.5
Kailangan natin maging meek
11:45.8
Para we'll get China's mercy
11:48.4
Anong pananalita yan
11:51.2
Kahit nga barangay officials
11:52.6
Hindi sila ganyan kaya
11:53.6
Ganong ka-slavish
11:56.1
Magsalita ukol sa China
11:58.7
Yung best friend ng China
11:60.0
Hindi nagsasalita ng ganyan
12:01.6
Pagdating sa mga Asian countries
12:04.7
Hindi niya hinayaan
12:06.8
Yung mga joint patrols plans
12:08.1
Sa West Philippine Sea
12:09.2
Pinipush back niya
12:11.0
I mean, of course
12:12.1
I have my concerns also with ETCA
12:13.8
I have also my concerns
12:14.8
About relying on other powers
12:16.3
Pagdating si kay Digong
12:17.4
Ang intention niya
12:18.6
I don't think he wanted
12:19.7
An independent foreign policy
12:20.9
I think he wanted
12:22.7
But hindi yun ako
12:23.4
Ang maganda para sa ating bansa
12:24.8
Especially when binubuli tayo
12:26.9
Diyan sa West Philippine Sea
12:28.2
So, yun yung mga panahon
12:29.9
Na kailangan nagsalita
12:31.1
Itong mga ibang politiko na yan
12:34.1
Na kailangan natin sila
12:36.7
Para sa ating bansa
12:41.2
Ng mga malini presidente
12:42.4
Well, let's not forget
12:44.2
Meron tayong tinatawag na
12:45.5
Separation of powers
12:46.6
Equality of branches
12:47.7
Of the government
12:49.5
Kung ikaw yung senator
12:50.3
You have all the right
12:51.4
To criticize the president
12:52.3
Yes, the president
12:53.1
Is the chief architect
12:54.1
Of the foreign policy
12:55.3
Whatever he wants
12:57.2
Barangay geopolitics
12:59.1
Pushback against that
13:00.6
Have not been speaking
13:02.0
About this for quite long time
13:04.0
Now, some of them
13:09.0
For West Philippine Sea
13:11.4
You have situations
13:12.1
Where some of them
13:12.9
Are finally fighting
13:18.8
Yung mga DDS blogger
13:19.9
Pro-China bloggers
13:21.0
Makapili 2.0 bloggers
13:27.3
Yeah, in fairness
13:28.4
And then of course
13:29.8
Parang may press conference siya
13:32.1
Parang inaharas siya
13:35.1
All I'm gonna say
13:36.9
But at the same time
13:38.5
This is what people like
13:41.8
Have been doing for
13:48.9
Few months in office
13:53.9
At hindi magandang
13:55.8
Or hindi magandang
14:00.1
I began criticizing
14:01.1
First on the drug policy
14:02.8
On its foreign policy
14:05.4
Independent foreign policy
14:07.4
Independent foreign policy
14:10.5
People fighting for
14:11.5
The West Philippine Sea
14:13.3
When it's convenient
14:15.5
If you really love
14:16.6
The West Philippine Sea
14:17.4
If you really wanna
14:18.1
Fight for the West Philippine Sea
14:18.7
You should have done it
14:19.9
Politically risky
14:24.5
Many people were doing
14:30.6
Yung mga prodigong
14:33.1
Ngayon mahina na sila
14:34.1
Pinagtatawa na naman
14:41.3
Pero nung time na yun
14:42.5
Sobrang malakas sila
14:46.5
Kasi kung mahal mo
14:47.3
Talagang West Philippine Sea
14:48.4
Kung natapang ka talaga
14:55.1
Kasi mahina na sila eh
14:59.2
I'm glad that there's some senators
15:00.6
They're taking up the cajoles
15:02.0
To fight against some of these trolls
15:04.8
Hand to hand combat
15:06.6
On a one to one basis
15:07.9
But we needed more of this noon
15:10.8
Even if tama si BBM ngayon
15:12.8
Sa kanyang policies
15:13.7
He's operating from a position
15:15.5
Of relative weakness
15:18.0
Kaya ang problema natin ngayon is
15:19.8
Catch up time tayo
15:21.0
Catch up time tayo
15:22.0
Dun sa lahat ng mga kapatidong
15:22.7
Kapalpakan ni Digong
15:23.7
Catch up time tayo dun sa lahat
15:25.5
Mga loss of portion
15:26.4
Ni Pano ni Digong
15:27.1
Catch up time tayo dun sa
15:29.9
Ni Pano ni Digong
15:30.8
Kasi after lumabas yung arbitration
15:32.1
We had a very strong momentum
15:33.6
To pressure China internationally
15:37.8
Of course we're not gonna get
15:39.9
Many countries will still
15:41.7
But you have to put that pressure
15:43.5
And then in exchange
15:44.6
We could have got
15:45.3
A number of concessions
15:46.7
So we didn't leverage it at all
15:48.5
Ang ginawa ni Digong
15:52.3
Undermined our own position
15:55.3
Ginaganin lang niya yung
15:56.4
Arbitration award
15:57.7
Paroting the Chinese line
15:59.3
Nung ginanon tayo sa
16:02.0
Yung Jemver natin
16:03.3
Muntik na mamatay
16:04.2
Yung mga kawabayan natin
16:05.5
Anong sinabi niya
16:06.3
He just copy-pasted
16:07.5
What China was doing
16:09.4
Super embarrassing
16:10.3
Worse than embarrassing
16:11.9
Of course there's another way
16:13.9
We'll not go that far
16:18.1
Yun ang sinasabi natin
16:20.0
Yung mga matapang na
16:24.4
Sa West Philippines issue
16:27.7
It's convenient now
16:29.8
To be pro-West Philippines
16:30.8
Because that's the position
16:31.7
Of the government
16:32.2
And majority of Filipinas
16:34.1
The real challenge was nun
16:39.6
Mga makapili club
16:40.9
Nung six years pa ni Digong
16:42.8
Yun yung time na dapat
16:44.0
Sana lumaban sila
16:45.4
I hope there'll be redemption
16:46.5

I hope they'll continue to fight

Para sa West Philippines
17:02.6
They have to come together
17:03.8
They have to have solidarity
17:04.9
Because this is about our country

This is about our nation

Para sa internationalism
17:22.5
And the rights of smaller countries
17:23.9
And the Philippines

Alam natin kung sinong matapang talaga
17:37.2
At sino talagang lumalaban
17:38.5
Para sa West Philippine Sea
