Pinag-aaralan natin

So I hope you appreciate
07:01.3
A little bit of raffle
07:03.1
Magandang shirts and all

Pero kailangan natin
07:07.9
Just don't put too much pressure on me
07:09.4
Ang dami ko pang ibang ginagawa
07:13.2
Let me slowly and slowly
07:25.7
Na legitimate podcaster na tayo
07:33.0
And all as you can see
07:33.8
There's no commercials
07:38.2
Whenever may konting time
07:40.2
Kung matino yung internet
07:42.2
And next yun na ito
07:43.7
Number one na tayo
07:44.6
Sa political podcast
07:47.2
We wanna be number one
07:49.5
At the very least
07:50.6
In the near future
07:52.3
We wanna be at least
07:55.9
Political podcast
07:58.0
Sa lahat ng podcast
08:01.4
Sa mga political podcast
08:02.3
In other countries
08:03.1
Including Singapore
08:03.9
Number one na tayo
08:05.2
And if you go to Spotify
08:06.4
If you look at the popular
08:08.9
Medyo yung level natin
08:11.3
Yung mga New York Times
08:14.3
I'm super thankful
08:16.1
For supporting us
08:19.9
Walang transitions
08:23.1
Walang meet through
08:24.6
Because I work also
08:27.0
And now I'm working
08:28.6
So nakita ko yung matinong
08:30.9
Yung properly edited
08:33.5
We're not there yet
08:34.6
But down the road
08:36.0
Hopefully we can get
08:36.7
Some folks to help us
08:37.7
With proper editing
08:39.4
Pero yung content
08:40.1
I'm very proud of the content
08:45.9
Not only in the Philippines
08:47.5
But perhaps beyond the Philippines
08:50.6
And alam mo yung mga kameta
08:51.7
We're always here
08:52.2
To be world class
08:54.2
We're always here
08:55.1
To be world class
08:59.6
Na i-share all around the world
09:06.3
This is also what I'm sharing
09:08.3
Now kung hindi nyo ma-appreciate
09:10.3
May mga nag-troll sa atin
09:12.1
Alam mo yung mga bobo na
09:14.7
Hanggang ano lang kayo
09:15.7
Citation lang kayo
09:17.3
You know who asks
09:23.6
People at the highest levels
09:26.6
I don't wanna name drop
09:28.5
But I'm just telling you
09:31.1
Yung mga top policy makers
09:32.5
Sa tingin ng sinong binabasa nila
09:35.4
Hindi nila binabasa yung mga
09:37.6
Vloggers na maharlikan
09:38.8
Ewan kay Ronald Llamas
09:40.6
Baka sa iyo yung maharlikan
09:42.0
No, they're gonna read people
09:43.2
Who are published in
09:44.0
Legit publications
09:50.5
Sorry, sorry guys
09:51.6
Hindi ko nag-i-upload
09:51.9
Hindi ko nag-i-upload
09:52.1
No, but you get what I'm saying
09:53.4
I hate that kind of
09:57.4
Let's call it out
10:01.7
Hindi naman tayo bobo
10:02.9
I know we can do better than that
10:04.1
Kaya everything I'm doing here
10:05.4
Is to level it up
10:06.3
And to make political analysis
10:08.0
Proper geopolitical analysis
10:10.0
Proper socioeconomic analysis
10:13.6
So huwag natin i-dumb down
10:14.8
Yung proper analysis
10:16.8
Eh, hanggang na libro
10:21.1
Alright mga kameta
10:21.9
In all of these years
10:23.4
Na I've been fighting
10:24.1
For the West Philippines
10:25.9
I've been trawled
10:28.0
At the highest levels
10:30.3
Throughout the years
10:31.5
If you wanna talk about
10:33.4
Duwag and cowardice
10:34.9
Duwag yung mga anonymous
10:36.1
At duwag yung mga
10:37.1
Ibang bloggers dyan
10:39.4
They don't wanna stand by
10:41.0
You get what I'm saying
10:45.2
You don't want the amount
10:46.1
Of risk and stress
10:47.3
That people like us
10:50.2
For the West Philippines
10:51.8
Interest in the Philippines
10:52.9
And speaking of duwag
10:54.6
I'm probably one of the
10:55.6
Very few guys out there
10:56.5
Who has criticized
10:57.1
Both the United States
10:58.5
Equal opportunity
10:60.0
That both are equal
11:00.8
Especially as a Filipino
11:02.5
Now one is definitely
11:03.9
In the West Philippines
11:05.5
Had historical injustices
11:07.0
And problems in the Philippines
11:09.6
Morally equivalent
11:12.3
The wars of Trump administration
11:14.4
The wars of China
11:15.8
But the same people
11:16.7
Talked about also
11:17.6
Engagement and all of that
11:18.6
That's why mga kameta
11:21.2
That's why we get
11:23.7
So CNN International
11:27.1
Russia and other countries
11:28.0
They're all interviews
11:29.6
Yung mga fake dyan na
11:31.2
Yung mga fake dyan na
11:34.1
Yung never na interview
11:34.9
Ng mga legit dyan
11:35.6
At barely na interview
11:37.4
Yung mga China and Russia
11:44.1
In Beijing itself
11:46.0
I have interviews
11:48.8
Studios all around the world
11:50.9
This is not about me
11:53.5
Let's be very clear
11:54.5
All of these things
11:59.1
I remember very well
12:07.7
Never underestimate
12:10.6
At multiple levels
12:11.6
Kahit baluktuting Tagalog natin
12:13.6
Mas kahit ko agilokano
12:16.4
The second thing is
12:19.0
Never underestimate
12:21.6
Never underestimate
12:22.7
The Filipino people's
12:27.2
That's very important thing
12:28.4
It's a big insult
12:29.9
To our people to say
12:30.8
Hanggang dyan lang
12:32.2
Yung hanggang patawa lang
12:33.6
Hanggang mga marites lang
12:36.1
Yung mga bardagulan
12:37.4
Yung mga kabubuhan
12:39.0
Doon sa mga ibang bloggers
12:41.3
It has a lot of views
12:42.8
But hindi tayo desperate
12:44.2
We also do a million view
12:45.3
Or something at least
12:50.9
It's not crazy level
12:55.2
We pay our dues to the state
13:01.0
There is a market for it
13:03.2
And there's an interest in it
13:08.4
Natouch ako ng konti
13:13.0
Nung sumulat siya ng
13:15.7
Ng recommendation
13:20.9
He quoted Socrates
13:22.5
And superhero ko talaga
13:26.1
Kung titignan mo si Socrates
13:29.7
In itself is not the
13:32.1
Most attractive thing
13:33.1
That's why you have to
13:33.8
Seduce people on the truth
13:39.3
Critical thinking
13:45.2
At yun po yung ginagawa natin dito
13:46.7
Is we were trying to make
13:49.2
Critical thinking discussion
13:51.9
Relatable as possible
13:53.1
Yun lang naman ginagawa natin
13:54.7
Sometimes successful
13:55.9
Sometimes very successful
13:57.2
Sometimes not so successful
13:58.3
Sometimes konti lang views
14:01.6
You have to be committed
14:02.4
You have to be committed
14:03.5
And there are many times
14:06.3
There are times na
14:09.3
There are times na nagvlog tayo
14:10.5
Barely 10,000 views
14:11.8
Or even 5,000 views
14:13.3
Pero okay lang sa akin
14:15.2
Mga konti lang tao
14:17.1
I don't get discouraged
14:18.2
Because I know we're doing
14:19.7
And I know ito mga konti
14:20.4
Mga contents na ginagawa natin
14:23.4
Pwede natin balikan
14:26.1
We can make a short out of it
14:27.6
Or at the very least
14:28.4
We're learning how to
14:29.9
Communicate with people
14:31.0
In the best way possible
14:32.5
Every time I go on live
14:35.6
We find new friends
14:37.2
Mga bagong kaibigan
14:38.3
Bagong mga supporters
14:39.2
In as much as we're
14:40.1
Extremely grateful
14:41.5
Doon sa mga supporters natin
14:43.4
From back in the day
14:45.8
Doon sa mga meta natin
14:48.1
Nakikita din na may eye bags
14:50.4
So we're authentic
14:54.3
Now hindi ko nakasalan
14:55.1
I wanna make sure
14:58.9
This is authentic
15:00.1
This is authentic
15:01.1
Because mga kameta
15:01.9
Because mga kameta ito
15:04.8
Just to be clear about this
15:06.5
Maraming mayaman dyan
15:10.4
They can just hire
15:11.2
A production team
15:12.0
And make a super nice one
15:15.4
If it's your dad's money
15:16.9
Or your whatever's money
15:18.3
And minsan di natin
15:24.0
Whatever penny I earn
15:26.8
Production or whatever
15:31.8
That it stays true
15:34.2
Ng what we're trying
15:37.9
Of very hard work
15:39.0
I think na meet natin
15:40.1
Yung konting threshold dito
15:42.1
Sa mga sumusuporta sa atin
15:45.4
You've been supporting us
15:49.1
Yung pushback niyo
15:52.7
Durog sila sa atin
15:55.4
Durog sila lahat sa akin
15:57.1
Pero dito sa Facebook
15:59.7
Kawawa yung mga trolls
16:03.2
Pag mag-criticize ka
16:05.3
Let me be very clear
16:06.3
I am absolutely okay
16:08.0
With constructive criticism
16:09.2
And if you notice
16:11.1
I make adjustments
16:12.5
Because some criticisms
16:14.3
Kahit hindi ko aminin
16:16.6
Parang actually may point siya
16:19.6
Yung ginawa natin
16:20.6
Masyado tayong self-indulgence
16:23.3
Pero yung mga bastusan
16:25.5
There's no room for that
16:26.6
So kung wala akong time
16:29.7
Bahala na sa inyo
16:31.0
Yung mga followers natin
16:32.0
And supporters natin
16:32.9
So we appreciate that
16:34.1
Some of you are even more generous
16:35.6
Supporting us in so many ways
16:38.3
Yan po ang nagbigay
16:42.0
Medyo pagod talaga
16:42.8
This is Singapore
16:45.0
So we're gonna work
16:47.4
Yung mga meetings naman
16:48.7
We're gonna have meetings
16:50.1
Dun sa mga counterparts natin
16:53.2
From all around the region
16:54.3
And then hopefully
16:58.9
Balikan natin ito
17:00.0
Having said all of that
17:02.1
I have to leave now
17:07.9
I'm watching the situation
17:08.9
That is happening right now
17:10.1
Dito sa West Philippines
17:11.8
At medyo nakakabala siya
17:13.6
Pinag-usapan naman
17:15.4
Kaso ng Pilipinas
17:16.5
And I'll tell you what
17:17.7
Marami sa mga expert
17:19.7
All around the world
17:22.4
Sa mga democracies
17:25.2
Sobrang proud na proud
17:26.7
Sila sa Pilipinas
17:27.6
Sobrang proud na proud
17:28.6
Sila sa mga ginagawa natin
17:29.8
Sobrang proud na proud
17:32.0
Yung ating determination
17:33.7
Obviously I'm not against diplomacy
17:39.0
Dealing with China
17:39.6
I have nothing against China
17:41.7
I love Chinese culture
17:43.8
Sometimes some of their food
17:45.5
And I had fantastic time
17:47.6
I had fantastic time
17:47.7
Chinese influenced
17:52.3
I have Chinoy friends
17:57.5
Mamaya na hugot line
17:59.9
No you get what I'm saying
18:14.4
Goldilocks meaning
18:17.7
It's not about being
18:18.9
Pro-China or anti-China
18:20.6
It's about finding the best way
18:22.7
To deal with China
18:23.5
And nung sa isang
18:26.6
Pinag-usapan natin
18:28.0
Itong hedging strategy
18:30.1
I even gave you some sources
18:31.8
Some links for you guys
18:32.9
To check it on your own
18:35.1
May mga bobo dyan
18:36.5
Na comment na hindi nila
18:37.6
Di ko na problema yan
18:38.7
Pero karamihan naman
18:40.1
They're very appreciative
18:41.2
So thank you very much
18:42.5
Because you guys also have to
18:46.3
Para maingaan nyo
18:48.4
I mean we do these things
18:49.4
In academic context
18:50.5
In policy think tank context
18:51.8
But we wanna get the message out
18:53.8
We want more and more people
18:55.4
From this basic concept
18:56.7
Para may proper framework
18:59.8
Now having said all of that
19:01.9
Of course I'm watching also
19:02.9
What's happening on the ground
19:03.8
Ayan natin ang gyera
19:05.7
But just to be clear
19:09.6
Ang mga totoong duwag
19:10.9
Yung mga nagsasabi
19:11.9
Ay huwag na natin
19:13.6
Yung sarili natin
19:14.4
Interest at sovereign rights
19:15.7
Dahil makakagyera
19:17.6
Na bobo na mag-isip
19:19.5
And then yung mga tipong
19:22.2
Yung mga patriots
19:23.0
Na lumalaban para sa ating bansa
19:24.7
Just because you're fighting
19:27.9
Doesn't mean you want war
19:29.2
That's a very bobo way
19:30.5
Of looking at things
19:31.7
You need to do the minimum
19:33.7
There has to be the minimum
19:34.6
To fight for your rights
19:36.0
You have to fight
19:40.8
You get what I'm saying
19:41.6
You have to have minimum
19:43.0
While you're fighting
19:44.5
For your basic rights
19:45.7
And sovereign rights
19:51.1
Communication channels
19:52.6
Should remain open
19:53.7
At yun yung sinasabi ko
19:55.2
You have engagement
19:56.2
You have deterrence
19:57.9
The exact combination
20:02.4
It's hard to pinpoint
20:06.2
It depends on circumstances
20:07.6
It depends on time
20:08.5
And it's game theory
20:10.3
Hopefully down the road
20:11.4
We can do also lectures
20:13.0
Para ma-appreciate
20:14.3
It's not like you're
20:15.7
Hindi naman nakatunga
20:17.6
And then waiting for my punch
20:18.6
It's like in boxing
20:19.6
Before I punch you
20:20.8
You're already gonna make a reaction
20:24.2
Oh I'm gonna punch him there
20:25.3
And I'm gonna punch him there
20:26.3
It doesn't work that way
20:27.2
The moment I punch you
20:28.4
Naka move ka na kagat
20:29.5
So my second punch
20:30.4
Has to have a different angle
20:31.6
So yung mga kameta natin na
20:33.0
Naki martial arts
20:35.2
You'll get what I'm saying
20:37.1
Is kinda similar to that
20:38.3
In a game theory situation
20:39.9
You're not gonna say
20:41.8
Or A, B, C to the person
20:43.0
By the time you do the A
20:45.0
Is all gonna counter
20:46.1
And the person's counter
20:47.6
Reaction is not only
20:49.2
But also the expectation
20:50.3
Of what you were supposed to do
20:51.5
And then that creates
20:52.9
Its own path dependency
20:54.5
Or algorithmically
20:56.0
It creates patterns
20:59.5
So yun yung perspective natin
21:00.9
So you cannot say
21:02.1
Ito lang gawin natin
21:03.0
At ito mangyari sa China
21:04.2
Because what China is doing
21:07.1
But it also depends on
21:08.4
Mutual perceptions
21:09.5
But it also depends on
21:11.2
What China thinks about
21:13.4
And other countries will do
21:14.3
And also what we think
21:15.5
Other countries will do
21:16.3
So there are many
21:17.4
Many moving parts
21:21.5
Multi-variable analysis
21:22.7
Yun po yung ginagawa natin
21:23.6
Ginagawa natin yun sa politics
21:24.8
Ginagawa natin sa geopolitics
21:27.5
It's very important
21:28.1
To constantly see
21:28.7
What's happening on the ground
21:30.4
Ito yung nakakatakot
21:31.5
Na nangyari ngayon
21:35.7
Baka ma-copyright tayo
21:37.1
So ito yung pinost natin
21:38.1
Kanina mga kameta
21:39.1
Ito yung situation
21:40.9
Kitang-kita nyo na
21:48.5
Ang dami nilang pinark dyan
21:51.2
They're not fishing vessels
21:52.1
We know that they're fake
21:54.7
But they're actually
21:57.4
Is most likely behind
22:01.9
So ginagamit ng China
22:05.3
Wala kaming ginawa
22:06.6
Very intimidating
22:07.5
Yung ginawa nila dito
22:09.0
Talagang they put
22:11.3
Hundred to hundred
22:12.0
Dami nila nilagay dyan
22:15.2
Oh gusto nyo kami challenge
22:17.1
Oh bahala kayo dyan
22:18.1
That's the point mga kameta
22:19.8
You have to always
22:20.8
Distinguish between
22:21.6
Intimidation tactics
22:24.0
The actual potential
22:29.7
Magpa-intimidate ka kagad
22:32.2
Walang mangyari sayo
22:34.8
And you're just gonna ignore
22:36.5
All signals of potential
22:40.0
Kaya very very important
22:41.8
To have the proper
22:43.3
Proper assessment
22:47.0
Keep the communication
22:50.2
Magflex na muscle
22:51.4
Perhaps they really
22:52.4
Don't want the confrontation
22:53.3
But you won't know that
22:55.2
Communicating with them
22:56.2
And if God forbid
22:56.9
Some accident happens
22:57.9
It's very important
22:58.7
That you have that
22:60.0
Communication channel
23:00.7
To deescalate the situation
23:01.8
Make sure it doesn't
23:02.4
Get out of control
23:03.3
Tayo may drone and camera
23:05.5
May drone and camera
23:06.4
So pakitanggilas yan
23:09.4
As we say in Ilocano
23:13.1
And very emotionally
23:14.3
Charged situation
23:16.8
We're watching very carefully
23:17.9
What's happening here
23:20.5
Medyo kabato ko ng konti
23:22.8
Dapat di tayo ututo
23:25.8
And then let me end this
23:30.4
I always tell this
23:32.6
To my Chinese friends
23:33.9
I always saw China's
23:37.6
Far more rational
23:38.5
Far more reasonable
23:39.8
And sophisticated
23:40.4
Than other authoritarian
23:42.2
Including the one
23:42.9
That invaded just Ukraine
23:44.5
China has so much to lose
23:46.8
They're gaining so much
23:47.7
From globalization
23:48.5
And good relations
23:49.4
With their neighboring countries
23:52.6
More than 9 out of 10 times
23:54.5
90 plus percent of the time
23:56.4
It's just intimidation tactics
23:57.9
And psychological warfare
24:02.0
There's always that
24:03.9
That this could be
24:06.0
Psychological games
24:08.1
Behind the scenes
24:10.2
For contingencies
24:11.2
And behind the scenes
24:12.2
We're making sure
24:13.0
Na yung mga aliado natin
24:14.4
They're also sending
24:15.1
Clear single to China
24:16.7
Do anything funny
24:17.8
Or anything crazy
24:20.3
There are three ticking time bombs
24:21.7
In the West Philippines
24:22.5
I'm gonna post shorts
24:24.2
Based on sa mga lectures
24:25.0
And discussion natin
24:26.3
Ticking time bomb
24:31.3
I-fortify yung presence natin
24:33.4
Sa second tangasol
24:35.9
China will intervene
24:36.8
Aggressively in that
24:37.6
And that could create
24:38.3
A very dangerous spiral
24:42.1
Gusto natin mag-develop
24:43.1
Ng resources natin dyan
24:44.7
We might do it unilaterally
24:47.0
Pwede mag-respond ng China
24:48.7
But we have no choice
24:49.7
We have to defend
24:50.6
Our sovereign rights
24:51.2
Alam ko maghintay lang tayo
24:52.2
At magpa-intimidate tayo
24:53.4
That's why foreign policy
24:54.8
That's why it's very very hard
24:57.2
Whoever is the Filipino president
25:00.4
If the president gets it wrong
25:02.3
Lagot tayong lahat
25:03.3
Hindi lang Pilipinas
25:04.5
Bum region affected
25:05.4
Kaya pag abroad tayo
25:08.3
Parating akong kinahusap
25:09.3
Richard ano bang ginagawa?
25:10.5
Kanina may kausap din ako
25:11.4
Ng mga Singaporean professors
25:13.2
What is your take on this?
25:14.4
Is this a tactical thing?
25:15.4
Is this a strategic thing?
25:16.3
So they're really concerned
25:18.9
Huwag tayo magpa-intimidate
25:20.2
Pero huwag lang tayong
25:22.7
Let's be very very clear about this
25:24.4
I would also want to add this
25:26.0
I find it quite interesting
25:27.6
Let me be very clear about it
25:29.0
I find it quite interesting
25:33.3
Ayusin natin to para
25:34.6
Kamitin natin pang shorts
25:36.7
Practical lang talaga
25:43.2
Magulo na ba sa likod?
25:46.2
Bakit andun yung ano?
25:51.9
Low budget production
25:54.4
Apag may free lighting pa tayo
25:58.7
Pang shorts na yan na
26:01.4
Imecos necos natin
26:04.2
Wait nasan na tayo?
26:06.8
Anong sasabihin ko?
26:08.2
Nawala na sabaw na
26:11.1
Dun sa mga empresaryos
26:16.4
Dun sa mga supporters ng former administration
26:19.3
Ito lang sasabihin ko
26:20.9
I'm not very sure about your moral ascendancy
26:24.5
Or even intellectual
26:28.9
I didn't say capacity
26:31.0
I want to say something as capital
26:44.4
Lalo pag low budget
26:45.7
Ganun sabay-sabayan na lahat
26:54.6
Now let me be very clear
26:57.5
Nagle-lecture sa kasalukuyan na administration
27:00.2
Or nagle-lecture sa taong bayan
27:02.4
Ukol sa Asian and West Philippine Sea
27:04.1
I'm talking about
27:04.7
The empresaryos of the former president
27:06.6
Former president Duterte
27:07.7
And those who supported
27:09.8
Essentially pro-China foreign policy
27:15.7
Fully subservient
27:17.2
Policy towards China
27:18.1
Let me be very clear about this people
27:19.5
Very questionable
27:21.5
Kung meron kayong
27:22.3
Any moral ascendancy
27:23.4
And very questionable
27:24.4
Kung meron kayong
27:25.8
Intellectual capital
27:27.2
To make that argument
27:32.6
Was super nice to China
27:35.7
The arbitration award
27:38.2
With the United States
27:39.3
On multiple allegations
27:41.2
ETCO to be fully implemented
27:43.5
The visiting forces
27:44.9
He even threatened
27:51.3
Against the world
27:52.2
And all of that kind of drama
27:56.9
In investments and all
27:57.9
And what did we get
28:00.6
Everything that Tatay Digong
28:03.3
Well aside from the
28:04.1
Pogo investments and all
28:06.8
Where's the Mindanao Railway project?
28:10.7
High speed railway project?
28:18.5
Yung isang bridge dyan
28:20.0
Galing din sa kanila
28:22.8
Na sila lang kumita
28:23.7
Hindi yung ganoon na
28:24.4
I'm talking about
28:25.9
Infrastructure projects
28:28.4
In Bandung, Jakarta
28:29.3
Although very delayed and all
28:30.5
But something along those lines
28:31.6
Big ticket infrastructure projects
28:37.7
So that was pledge trap
28:38.9
Kaya sabi kong mali yung opposition
28:40.5
At saka yung mga dilawan
28:41.6
Nasa sabi magkaka
28:42.8
Death trap presupposes
28:44.2
I've been saying this since 2018
28:46.2
Death trap presupposes
28:48.4
That investments will come in
28:51.1
But under very questionable terms
28:54.5
It's just pledge trap
28:55.6
It's just pledges
28:58.1
That are meant to soften
28:59.3
The Philippines position
29:00.2
On the South China Sea
29:02.1
With the United States
29:03.6
But in exchange for really
29:06.8
We can have a long discussion
29:08.1
Kung sino talaga may kasalanan din
29:09.2
But the reality is that
29:11.1
Billions of supposed investment
29:12.5
Are more pledge trap
29:16.3
If you look at the West Philippine Sea
29:19.1
Lumala din yung situation
29:20.6
Kung titignan mo yung militarizasyon
29:22.6
Ng mga fake islands
29:23.8
Ang ginawa ng China
29:24.6
Sa Kalayaan Group of Islands
29:28.5
Or kiniklaim natin
29:29.5
Lumala yung mga yan
29:31.0
Nag-consolidate yung militarizasyon
29:33.2
Paano ni Digong yan?
29:37.6
That the Digong way
29:39.0
Of going like that to China
29:40.2
And hoping they'll be nice to us
29:41.9
As Duterta put it
29:44.7
And you'll get mercy from China
29:48.0
Has been completely disproven
29:49.9
And let's not forget
29:50.8
It was under Digong
29:51.7
That the Reed Bank
29:52.7
Recto Bank incident happened
29:54.0
Nang muntik na matay yung mga
29:55.2
More than a dozen
29:56.6
In Denver incident
29:57.6
Nangyari din sa mga
29:59.8
Ng Kalayaan Group of Islands
30:02.9
Ng mga militia nila
30:03.7
So it's absolutely clear
30:06.9
That the Digong way
30:08.0
Of dealing with China
30:08.7
It just doesn't work
30:10.0
Zero concessions from China
30:15.6
Infrastructure projects
30:17.6
Yung mga invested sa ganyan policy
30:22.6
Dividends for the Philippines
30:25.0
Mortal ascendancy
30:28.7
Intellectual capital
30:32.6
Now having said that
30:33.9
I am still for engagement
30:35.9
I'm still for exploring
30:37.4
The best possible
30:40.5
But we have to be clear
30:42.2
With our red lines
30:43.3
And we have to be clear
30:43.6
That as much as we welcome
30:45.3
High quality investments
30:47.0
That should not come
30:48.7
Of our sovereign rights
30:49.6
In the West Philippine Sea
30:50.5
And at the end of the day
30:51.6
Any investments that comes in
30:53.4
Mutually beneficial
30:54.6
And it has to rely also
30:56.2
On the Filipino technology
31:03.6
Environmentally friendly
31:04.7
Infrastructure projects
31:07.4
We can keep those basics
31:08.6
Clear in our engagement
31:10.1
I have no problem
31:10.9
Whatsoever dealing with them
31:12.0
But those red lines
31:14.2
And once those red lines
31:18.5
We can have a very good
31:19.3
Relationship with China
31:20.2
Because guess what
31:21.1
The country I am in right now
31:22.6
Singapore has a fantastic
31:23.6
Relationship with China
31:24.5
Well they don't have
31:25.1
Territorial disputes
31:26.2
Every time they had a problem
31:27.0
They stood their ground
31:28.9
Nung binuli sila ng China
31:30.5
Sa North of Tunasi
31:31.4
Nagpadala sila ng mga
31:33.8
Nagbumunta dyan si Jokowi
31:35.5
Nagpadala sila ng warships
31:36.6
They stood their ground
31:37.6
Indonesia and China
31:38.5
Fantastic relationship
31:39.5
In fact China just finished
31:40.6
Yung Bandung project nila
31:41.6
Yung Bandung Jakarta
31:43.0
High speed railway
31:44.1
So I can go on and on
31:46.6
With many examples
31:47.4
Australia for instance
31:49.2
Ang laki ng problema nila
31:50.8
And China was angry at them
31:54.5
Counter influence operations
31:59.9
Chinese investments
32:00.8
In their critical infrastructure
32:04.1
Independent investigation
32:05.7
Origins of COVID-19
32:07.2
But China kept on
32:09.6
They said they will
32:11.5
Australia stood its ground
32:13.6
Australian Prime Minister
32:15.9
And everything went
32:16.5
More or less well
32:17.7
So that's the point
32:19.1
If you stand your ground
32:20.2
Hindi ka magpa-intimidate
32:21.3
Hindi ka magtutol
32:23.7
You will get their
32:26.3
And then you can negotiate
32:28.9
Proper compromise
32:30.2
Diyan sa West Philippine Sea
32:31.7
Compromise doesn't mean
32:38.9
A peace and a compromise
32:39.9
That is in accordance
32:40.9
Dun sa ating saligang batas
32:44.8
International law
32:45.9
The United Nations Convention
32:46.9
On the Law of the Sea
32:48.1
And we already have
32:50.5
Thank you very much
32:51.4
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas
32:53.5
Marami salamat sa inyong support
32:54.8
Making us the number one
32:56.5
Political podcast
32:57.2
In the Philippines
32:59.4
Among top hundred
33:01.0
Political podcast
33:02.6
In number of other countries
33:04.2
Including here in Singapore
33:09.1
Hopefully sa Pilipinas
33:10.7
Siguro ambisyoso yan
33:11.7
But if we can make it to
33:17.5
That will be quite an achievement
33:18.8
And hopefully we can be
33:19.5
At least among the
33:22.1
If not in the world
33:23.5
So thank you so much
33:24.2
For continued support
33:26.0
And mabuhay ang Pilipinas
33:33.4
Basta yan siya na
33:35.6
