00:00Sir, regarding lang po yung claims over Batanes Islands nga po, sinabi po kasi kahapon ni Rear Admiral Roy na
00:08there needs to be stronger pushback. Do you agree po ba?
00:12Natural, dapat talaga strong ang pushback natin dyan kasi number one, hindi na ito, hindi lamang ito labag sa international
00:27law,
00:28hindi labag sa ating saligang batas kung hindi labag sa normal na pag-iisip ng tao.
00:36Kaya yung gumawa niyan, palagay ko, si Sekretary Herbosa idulog natin kung ano ang diferensya ng tao na yun.
00:45Sir, in concrete terms, doon sa the defensive staff?
00:49Hindi, palagay ko, meron talagang diferensya.
00:52At kung paniwalaan yun, naku, may systemic dysfunction ang lipunan na maniniwala doon.
01:02Kasi grabe ang panaginip eh.

01:11Palagay ko, gawa din sa China yung gamot na ininom nila.
01:15Nawag naman sana iladalim dito.
01:18Sir, do you see, in concrete terms,
01:23sa defensive staff, do you plan to increase our patrols north now?
01:29No, we will increase our patrols in all areas.
01:32In all areas.
01:34Mind you, even in the Pacific Ocean and in the Philippine Rice.
01:38We need to do that.
01:39Because once we be remiss in that,
01:41then somebody else may claim ownership over it.
01:47We need to do that.
01:50We need to do that.
01:52We need to do that.
01:55We need to do that.
01:56We need to do that.
01:57We need to do that.
01:59We need to do that.
