... Sa tingin nyo how much of the situation now with China? It's becoming even more belligerent. Mas binubuli ang Pilipinas at sabi nyo nagkakaroon ng infiltration ng People's Liberation Army at mga spies masquerading as POGO workers dito sa Pilipinas.
00:24.3
... Taken together, sa tingin nyo how much of the situation we're seeing now is caused by the former administration, by the former president na talaga naging very friendly sa China?"
00:54.3
... Paano nakakapasok itong mga ito? That's hand-to-hand muna. Immigration di ba? Tapos sino nag-escort sa kanila? Ang mga police o ang mga ex-military. Walang kinalaman yan sa incumbent administration.
01:24.3
... This is a problem that is experienced by all administrations, including ours during the time with President Ramos, that's why we undertook a house-cleaning campaign. But I don't think that was continued on a systematic basis by succeeding administrations. Here we are.
01:54.3
... Canada, they're very alarmed at the actions of China in tandem with Russia. Then if you get to listen very carefully to President Marcos, Secretary Teodoro, Secretary Ed Año, they're quite alarmed. They're raising the alarm about the escalating tensions in the South China Sea.
02:24.3
... All of these harassments and coercive behaviour of China. The question now is, is the leadership harnessing the whole of government to be aligned with that thinking to prepare ourselves better for worst-case scenarios that may come our way?
02:45.6
... If the global security analysts are correct that trouble is coming our way in this region within the next two years or so, then what are we doing? What are we doing to protect our populace, our society?
03:03.9
... Because if we don't make them aware of what's going on, if they're not fed the right information at the right time, they cannot be harnessed for national defence or even for that matter civil defence. They cannot be a good partner to the government who is probably more aware of the situation but is not unwilling to say so to the public for whatever reason.
03:29.2
... But I've been listening very carefully to what President Bongbong has been saying, Secretary Gilbert and Secretary Ed Año, and I hear them. I hear them.
03:59.2
... As a matter of fact, the Coast Guard has applied a very good strategy. In other words, they're fighting information warfare in a better way now than before. They are putting the spotlight under the Chinese, recording every misdeed that they're doing in the South China Sea.
04:22.5
... And our media here online, some of them are conscientious enough to report what the Chinese are illegally doing in our country. That's good.
04:52.5
... At marami dito sa mga viewers natin hindi ma-accept yung idea na yan. Kasi he was very friendly to China, he opened the country to China, he allowed POGOs to actually proliferate. And then parang hirap yata tanggapin para sa marami na walang inalaman.
05:22.5
... During the Duterte administration, whether it was meant or not meant, the consequences were this.... Well, yung sinasabing pivoting to China.
05:52.5
... Sometimes they work in crooked lines. That means playing the game for as long as the purpose is to uphold or protect the national interest.... At that particular point in time, there were two... I'm not trying to explain for Duterte, he can explain for himself, but this is my discernment.
06:18.8
... At the time that he took over as president, he had personal issues with the United States. Personal yun. Pero pagdating sa policy, it held. Notwithstanding the fact that he was threatening the cancellation of the BFA, eventually binalik niya.
06:48.8
... Ang comments niya midway through his administration, ang narinig ko from his insiders, cabinet secretaries, he was very much aware that China could not be persuaded to ease up on the Philippines.
07:18.8
... Please don't ask me. I don't like that Christian, I don't like that assumption. I've been attacked by so many people here, oh Alunan adored this guy that he could do no wrong. I don't like that assumption that I was his supporter in that sense.
07:48.8
... And that protection included keeping our allies. But nobody asked me then. Nobody asked me then. Everybody was looking at Duterte. But I was on the side of the Lorenzana where we were sticking to the national interest and making sure that we strengthened our alliances. So let's keep it that way. Let's keep it in that perspective.
08:18.8
... Kasi nung panahon ni President Duterte, I was also in touch with some people from within. Sinasabi nila, kahit yung mga public pronouncements ni President Duterte, obviously favoring China, merong stability from within the military and from the defense establishment. Tama ba?
08:48.8
... And on the future, what we can do to defend ourselves against China. Can we do that? Because we're doing our audience a disservice by keeping them rooted in the past without looking at the present and working for their future security and safety and survival. Can we do that?
09:18.8
... By working with China, for example, that was no different from what the Americans were doing. The Americans were in bed with China. They built China to where it was. Come on, that's geopolitics. And then who are our top three trading partners? China, United States and Japan. You're going to let go of number two trading partner? What's going to happen to us?
09:48.8
... What's going to happen to the economy? What's going to happen? It will worsen the poverty in this country. So you have to think of those things about the national interest. You cannot just be one-sided.
10:18.8
... Do you think the reality na sinasabi niyo that China is bent on going to war could actually feed that kind of narrative that we're also seeing now?
10:48.8
Your behavior towards you depends on your behavior towards me. Now, I don't give much credence to what China says. I put my observations, I place my observations on its behavior and the patterns of its behavior. And so far, which we are seeing very clearly, that they cannot be trusted.
