03:51.4
lost it by around 5 minutes.
03:53.6
So, at least this time,
03:55.5
hindi ka tulad nung last time, guys,
03:58.0
sa
03:58.7
Denmark, diba, na miss natin
04:01.4
yung Norwegian Air.
04:04.2
Yung Norwegian Air, talaga,
04:05.4
walang ibang klase talaga yung Norwegian Air.
04:07.8
But, eto,
04:09.3
parang ganun din yung time, eh.
04:11.0
Yung Pasko na tayo. At this time,
04:13.3
ulit, sa tingin ko, kasalanan talaga ng
04:15.0
airport na naman yan. So, sa Minnesota, 5 to 10
04:17.3
minutes. Pagdatingin mo doon, 30
04:19.2
minutes, saabutan ka. Tapos, di ka
04:20.7
tutulungan. Kahit ipakita mo,
04:23.3
walang yan. Pinakita ko pa nga doon sa isa.
04:25.2
Sir, I think I'm gonna miss my flight. Well, I don't
04:27.2
know about that. Kung manan pa yung isa. Yung isa naman,
04:29.2
pinakita ko sa kanya. Sir, baka naman,
04:31.4
mukhang Pinoy po naman. So, maya, I was
04:33.1
throwing out some Filipino words, sir.
04:35.2
Well, kung darating yung flight, may lalagay
04:37.0
ng notification. Well, guess what? 4 minutes
04:39.4
na lang.
04:41.0
Halos magkaklose na sila ng
04:42.4
boarding time. So,
04:45.0
yun. Alas, pagdating ko doon,
04:47.5
na-realize ko na hindi lang tayo nang
04:48.9
nag-miss ng flight. Ang daya pala, nag-miss
04:50.9
ng flight. In fact, maaga pa nga ako sa lagay
04:52.9
na yan. And then, parang
04:55.0
naawa pa nga yung mga ibang tao na nakaupo doon for the
04:56.9
next flight. Parang nakita nila sa mukha ko,
04:58.6
here, there. Bumalik na naman yung mga
05:00.9
feelings natin, guys. Yung mga
05:02.8
feelings natin dyan sa
05:03.9
Denmark to Norway. Yung mga galit
05:06.9
natin sa Norwegian Airline. But, it
05:08.9
is what it is. Kaya yan,
05:11.0
di na ako magbiro.
05:12.9
New York, New York.
05:14.3
Ako tuloy. Namiss ko yung
05:16.2
connecting flight ko sa Texas.
05:18.9
Oh, man. Mukhang, ano,
05:20.6
mukhang paikutin
05:23.1
ako ng sobrang laya-laya. Ayan.
05:25.0
Medyo mapalapit na tayo sa New York.
05:26.9
So, pasensya na, guys. Kung may mga
05:28.6
na galit sa atin na biro natin ng
05:30.7
New York, New York. Tuloy
05:32.5
na pa-New York talaga.
05:35.1
Oh, my goodness. Okay.
05:37.1
Lesson learned. So, guys, advice ito.
05:38.9
Siguro, I have to make vlogs na about this. Parang
05:40.7
practical advice na lang ang traveling
05:42.9
and all.
05:44.7
Alam niyo naman, hindi naman nakatulad tayo ng iba
05:46.7
na Magellan Jr., na
05:48.9
may buong, ano, may chartered
05:51.0
plane or may
05:52.0
mga alalay, gano'n.
05:54.6
Tayo naman, kahit, minsan,
05:56.8
medyo mabait yung mga host, pinang pa-business
05:58.7
class ka, mga ganyan. Nevertheless,
06:00.7
sariling sikap lahat. At
06:02.6
mga pangit dito sa mga US
06:04.3
airports is
06:06.9
sobrang higpit yung security.
06:08.8
Which is sobrang baligtad yung
06:10.4
situation sa mga katulad ng Japan.
06:13.0
Sa Japan, halos wala ka
06:14.7
ng kailangan tatanggalin. Although,
06:16.7
I was surprised na dun sa security
06:18.6
check, hindi mo na kailangan tanggalin yung
06:20.5
mga laptops and cellphones and all. So, at least
06:22.7
less strict sila. Pati sapatos, hindi.
06:26.1
But my
06:26.7
suspicion is things are a bit different dun sa
06:28.7
iba't-ibang estado sa
06:30.7
Amerika. Siguro, medyo ma-strict pag sa
06:32.5
Detroit ka dadaan. At sobrang
06:34.5
strict sila sa Washington, D.C. nung dumahan
06:36.6
tayo dun few weeks ago, diba? Last month.
06:39.3
But anyway, yun lang,
06:40.9
guys. Advice ko lang sa inyo, kung mayroon
06:42.6
kayong international transit na dadaan kayo sa US
06:44.7
tapos may mga connecting flights pa kayo,
06:47.3
siguro, una-una, huwag kayong magpapasok
06:48.6
sa New York, diba?
06:51.2
And then, pangalawa,
06:52.8
ayan. Pangalawa, guys, ang
06:54.5
advice ko sa inyo is, ano, make sure
06:56.7
may at least two hours kayo.
06:58.8
May at least two hours kayo
07:00.6
na transit or layover
07:02.5
or layover time. Kasi wala silang
07:04.5
consideration dito whatsoever.
07:06.7
International flight ka, malalate ka man lang,
07:08.9
you're gonna miss it by a few minutes. Walang
07:10.3
consideration ng mga tao. So, wala rin silang
07:12.7
special lane. So, nung nandun tayo sa Germany,
07:14.6
sa Berlin, the other week,
07:16.7
meron silang special lane kung ano ka,
07:18.6
diba? Kung
07:20.1
business ka, for instance. Siyempre, ininvito tayo
07:22.4
ng mayaman na bansa. So, pinang
07:24.4
business class tayo. Okay, fine. So, meron
07:26.4
ka bang special lane? Wala, wala dito. Walang wala.
07:29.3
Talagang
07:29.7
malate ka, bahala ka sa buhay mo, diba?
07:32.2
So, kahit anong takbo ko dun kanina,
07:35.0
hindi pa rin makakalusot eh.
07:37.0
So, anyway, sabi ko,
07:38.5
blessing in disguise na lang. Check na lang natin yung
07:40.2
nila dito. Mukhang best in the world
07:42.3
naman daw itong nila dito. So, check
07:44.4
natin.
07:46.0
Maganda naman yung design.
07:47.6
But anyway,
07:48.6
since maging sobrang
07:51.2
iba yung mga time zone differences natin,
07:53.7
guys, una-una mukhang kailangan ko
07:55.6
i-reschedule itong interview natin with
07:57.6
Justice Carpio because I was
07:59.8
hoping to interview him Wednesday
08:01.6
morning your time. But mukhang
08:03.7
with the flight rescheduling
08:05.8
and all of that, I'll have to
08:07.7
ask Justice Carpio to move
08:09.8
things a little bit.
08:11.6
So, buti nga na-remind ako dyan na may
08:13.7
message natin sa Justice Carpio. So, because I was hoping
08:15.7
to have a proper
08:17.6
um,
08:18.6
breakdown na implications
08:21.0
ng itong sinasabi ng gentleman's agreement
08:23.0
sa ayong insyol ni
08:24.4
ex-human rights lawyer Harry Roque.
08:27.0
Diba? So, I'll have to adjust
08:29.0
that hopefully by a few hours pagbigyan tayo.
08:32.9
Woof.
08:34.5
Nang-stress ako bigla doon, ah.
08:37.2
Nakaka-disorient
08:39.0
yung mga time zones natin.
08:41.3
Alright. Let me figure that out, guys.
08:43.3
Um, message ko si
08:44.8
Justice. I'm also trying to get
08:47.4
si J. Batumba.
08:48.6
Akalisa sa mga, of course, leading experts
08:51.0
sa West Philippine Sea Issues. And
08:52.8
one of the leading experts in the world
08:54.6
pagdating sa United Nation Conventional of the Sea
08:56.8
or related issues. We hope to also
08:58.8
get him, um, sa podcast
09:01.1
natin soon. So, yun nga eh.
09:02.8
Ah, medyo disoriented ako
09:05.0
ng konti, guys, dahil dito sa mga
09:06.8
tayong mga rearrangements na nangyari.
09:09.2
Okay? Um,
09:10.9
now, as you may know,
09:13.1
this morning, um, well,
09:14.8
this morning, your time.
09:16.9
Kahapon, my time, guys.
09:18.6
Um,
09:22.0
ah, syempre, iba yung
09:23.1
I'm sure na-interview ni Justice
09:25.3
Scorpio yung mga kaibigan natin. But, yun na naman,
09:27.2
guys, I approach these things differently.
09:29.3
I and Justice Scorpio and among other
09:31.1
people have been discussing West Philippine Sea Issues
09:32.9
for years, uh, as
09:35.3
um, well, so-called experts
09:37.0
and advocates among others. So, we wanna
09:38.8
do a little bit of digging into this and I wanna
09:41.1
check also how Justice Scorpio
09:43.4
looks at the theories. We have slightly
09:45.0
different hypotheses sometimes on issues,
09:47.3
especially in terms of
09:48.5
yung pivot ni Marcos
09:50.4
sa Amerika, mga gano'n. Uh,
09:52.5
I don't think necessarily
09:53.8
mutually exclusive yung aming hypothesis. It's just that
09:56.5
for me, it's more of a
09:58.3
number of variables coming together.
10:00.5
But anyway, I wanna have a conversation with Justice Scorpio
10:02.5
soon also on this.
10:04.3
Just to be clear, I also interviewed Justice Scorpio
10:06.2
earlier the other week naman
10:08.3
dun sa aking show sa Signal TV
10:10.3
One News TV 5. Uh, so
10:12.3
please abangan nyo rin yan. Hopefully, lalabas niyan
10:14.4
um, later this month, no?
10:16.1
Uh, or early next month.
10:18.5
Very extensive na discussion din yan.
10:20.1
Two episodes ginawa namin, almost dalawang oras.
10:22.8
So, please let me check with Justice Scorpio
10:24.8
if I can make some, um, adjustments
10:26.7
uh, here and there.
10:28.9
Um, I have to also check in my time
10:30.5
dun sa Signal. Stressful talaga itong
10:32.1
logistics na ito. But anyway,
10:34.8
um, buk pala,
10:36.6
magulo na. Sa sobrang...
10:38.2
By the way, guys, tingnan nyo.
10:40.9
Sa sobrang mahal natin itong ginagawa
10:42.6
natin, mga lives and all. I also
10:44.4
almost missed yung
10:46.6
bus ko pa uwi.
10:48.5
From Baguio sa Manila.
10:50.3
Kaya nga ako bumaba dyan sa New York, Cuba. Always dahil
10:52.3
nag-boost tayo. Ayan, nag-boost tayo
10:54.5
sa... from Baguio na
10:56.3
I also almost missed that. Um,
10:59.3
uh, I think by five minutes
11:00.8
uh, I made it there.
11:02.5
So, buti nga nakalusot tayo dyan.
11:04.2
Pero dito sa isa, hindi tayo nakalusot. Oh, may
11:06.2
iBikes na tayo. O, na. Hindi na tayo
11:08.2
nakalusot dito sa isa. So,
11:10.3
ayan, lesson learned. Um, but as I said,
11:12.4
let's make the most out of this. Now, let's get
11:14.4
serious, guys. Pag-usapan natin ito, okay?
11:16.4
This is, this is, this is it.
11:18.5
So, in the
11:20.0
two previous vlogs,
11:23.0
we discussed, among other
11:24.4
things, um, the rise
11:26.6
of Tulfos. Uh, now, I know
11:28.6
may mga haters dyan na wanna twist
11:30.2
things I'm saying. I just
11:32.4
analyzed sociologically bakit nag-appeal
11:34.5
ang mga Tulfos. It was not an endorsement
11:36.4
of the rise. Um, and
11:38.4
as I said, a lot can still happen
11:40.5
between now and 2025 and definitely
11:42.6
between now and 2028. So, it's
11:44.3
important to have a snapshot
11:45.7
uh, understanding of ano
11:47.8
nangyayari ngayon.
11:48.5
Sa, sa politika natin, anong hinanap
11:50.5
ng mga voters natin, et cetera.
11:53.0
And then, accordingly, the opposition,
11:54.5
those who fight for the good, uh, have
11:56.5
to adjust their strategy. Not to mention, of course,
11:58.6
as I, um, uh,
12:00.7
said, there are also variations.
12:02.8
Iba si Rafi, iba si Erwin, iba si
12:04.8
si, si, si Ben.
12:06.5
Of course, they're all Tulfos. They have their own,
12:09.2
to put it nicely, controversial
12:10.5
approach to things or controversies. But
12:12.5
I think Rafi so far has been doing pretty
12:14.4
decent on a whole range of issues,
12:17.0
which is something we can discuss.
12:18.5
More, uh, and as I said, the rise
12:20.6
of Rafi Tulfo also opens up the game
12:22.6
uh, for third candidates,
12:24.6
whether it's Lenny, whether it's Riza, whoever
12:26.4
man yan. But the important thing,
12:28.5
guys, is, before going on
12:30.7
and hating on the Tulfos, make,
12:33.4
you know, keep in mind,
12:34.9
this is about Sarah Duterte
12:36.8
no longer being
12:38.5
the presumptive successor
12:40.3
to Marcus Jr. Because
12:42.2
yun yung situation natin
12:44.8
from the very day na nanalo
12:47.1
si Marcus Jr.
12:48.5
at saka Uniteam nung
12:50.3
2022. Presumptive successor
12:52.6
na ito, si Sarah Duterte. And so
12:54.4
now that situation is more or less
12:56.6
out, right?
12:58.7
Um, things are very competitive
13:00.5
and I think that opens up the space
13:02.2
for a very interesting competition
13:04.4
in 2028. 2025,
13:07.1
medyo nakakabahala
13:08.1
because it looks like sobrang
13:10.6
ipit talaga siya. Sobrang mahitpit
13:12.5
talaga siya. Um, yung
13:14.3
opportunity for others to
13:16.4
squeeze themselves in, especially the good
13:18.5
ones. Medyo mahirap talaga
13:20.4
ngayon. Although, as I said, we have
13:22.5
to talk about all sorts of new candidates
13:24.7
or fresh faces or
13:26.5
people who are beyond
13:28.3
ideology, whether it's Mayor Magalong.
13:31.4
My understanding is Mayor Magalong
13:32.6
will run for mayor again
13:34.6
in Baguio in 2025, but
13:36.3
who knows in 2028.
13:38.5
And then there are other people na
13:39.7
post-ideologically, when we discuss
13:42.6
the possibility of people in the national
13:44.4
security establishment, whether it's
13:46.5
people like General
13:48.5
Kerabin, whether it's J. Tariella,
13:51.1
Commander J. Tariella
13:52.3
sa Coast Guard. I mean, there are a lot, all sorts of
13:54.4
other people we can talk about. Yun lang, feeling ko
13:56.4
talaga 2025 is very, very tight
13:58.4
and you have a crazy situation
14:00.5
whereby not one, but two Tulfos
14:02.3
might vie for a position in
14:04.3
the Senate. Um, and
14:06.4
we saw in 2022 na
14:08.4
posible talaga na bubota ang tao
14:10.4
sa dalawang magkapatid.
14:15.1
One and then also with one
14:16.4
na nalala last time, di ba? Um, so
14:18.3
the idea of two Tulfos making
14:20.2
the Senate, plus one already there making
14:22.1
three Tulfos is not totally crazy.
14:25.1
When I say crazy, I'm talking
14:26.3
about probability. I'm not, it's not a moral
14:28.4
judgment. But of course, it says
14:30.4
a lot about the nature of our politics.
14:33.3
Uh, and the
14:34.4
increasingly dynastic direction of things,
14:36.5
although the Tulfos will always say,
14:38.3
you know, their situation is different because, you know,
14:40.3
it's not like they come from
14:42.3
some established family in some province, etc.
14:44.9
And they created essentially their kingdom.
14:47.0
They became national figures.
14:48.3
And moved ahead accordingly.
14:50.5
Anyways, mahabang usapan yan, guys.
14:52.7
Um, babalikan
14:54.3
natin yan in the coming days kasi we're
14:56.2
hoping to also have, uh, interviews
14:58.5
and discussions with, uh,
15:00.5
yung mga minamahal natin.
15:02.1
Sila, sila Ronald Llamas,
15:04.5
sila si Leloy. Uh,
15:06.2
si Leloy Claudio naman, um,
15:08.6
God willing, we're gonna, uh,
15:10.3
join hopefully guys together
15:12.4
live in a sense na
15:13.8
bibisita din tayo sa kanya, God willing, soon.
15:16.3
Uh, and, uh, hope to,
15:18.3
also record some, some sort of
15:20.2
medyo more high-level
15:22.5
podcast style, although medyo
15:24.1
medyo basics lang naman yung mga gadgets
15:26.5
and all natin. Now, going back
15:28.3
to this, uh, mga kumets,
15:30.0
if you look at the
15:32.3
article na meron tayo kanina, uh,
15:34.4
This Morning Your Time,
15:36.6
kaapon, uh,
15:38.4
wait, This Morning Your Time, right?
15:40.4
Yeah, kaapon, my time this morning,
15:43.1
wait, ang gulo na.
15:44.9
Gabi na kayo, di ba?
15:46.7
So, Morning Your Time.
15:48.3
Correct, yeah, Morning Your Time.
15:51.7
Yesterday.
15:52.7
Okay, anyway, naguloan na.
15:54.8
No, no, no. So, my, uh,
15:56.5
my contention is very simple,
15:58.7
na pagdating sa issue sa
16:00.2
Ayunginsol,
16:02.0
sobrang mahalaga. So, ito yun guys.
16:04.3
So, it's, it's, it's already,
16:06.1
uh, re, um, reposted
16:08.5
also on Asian News Network,
16:10.4
but originally this appealed, uh, appeared on
16:12.4
the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
16:14.1
So, ito po yung, um,
16:16.5
So, ito po guys, yung,
16:18.3
argument ko, na if you look at
16:20.5
the West Philippine Sea issue,
16:22.2
particularly the Ayunginsol issue,
16:24.4
ang pinakamay kasalanan dito ay si Digong.
16:27.2
Wala, walang question.
16:28.6
Absolutely, pinakamay walang question.
16:30.3
Of course, pinakamay,
16:32.6
pinakamay, uh,
16:36.3
kasalanan is China, obviously. Let's not be,
16:38.4
let's be absolutely clear about that. Ang China po
16:40.4
ay nagbubuli sa atin, hindi tayo nagbubuli
16:42.3
sa China. Hindi po Amerika nagbubuli
16:44.3
sa atin. Hindi po India, hindi po
16:45.9
Europa, hindi po Japan. Let's be very,
16:48.3
very clear who's bullying us, okay?
16:50.6
You have to be absolutely clear about that.
16:52.9
Having said that,
16:54.2
when it comes to sa apportioning
16:56.4
of responsibility sa
16:58.3
mga liderato sa Pilipinas,
17:01.2
absolute ang pinakamay
17:02.5
kasalanan dito ay si Digong
17:03.7
or yung kanyang administration.
17:06.6
Now, as we discussed in earlier
17:08.3
vlogs, and we'll discuss even more, hopefully
17:10.4
with other experts, Justice Scorpio,
17:12.4
Jay Batumbacal, um,
17:14.6
Sige Ronald, mga ganun,
17:16.4
soon. Um, obviously,
17:18.3
there's still that shadow
17:19.8
of the gentleman's agreement
17:21.9
hanging over the whole issue,
17:24.7
over the whole show.
17:26.8
Because kung totoo talaga,
17:28.5
which dininayin ng Duterte Kang,
17:30.5
but in a confirmed ni Harry Roque,
17:32.6
so I don't know kung nag-coordinate sila,
17:34.4
is this good cop, bad cop, is this sabog cop,
17:36.6
what the hell is going on, I don't know.
17:38.4
Or this is, um,
17:40.3
a situation of, uh, lumusot
17:42.5
or, or, uh,
17:44.4
boy leakage or whatever, right?
17:46.2
Um, boy booking.
17:48.3
Ayan, boy booking. Kung ito ay
17:50.0
situation ng boy booking, or
17:52.2
good cop, bad cop, I don't know, whatever it is,
17:54.4
more boy booking ang, ano ko eh,
17:56.3
ang suspesya ko dito.
17:58.2
Whatever the situation there is, if, if,
18:00.2
if this, if, if totoo
18:02.4
na talaga may gentleman's agreement,
18:04.5
that means
18:05.5
may kas, ang laki ng kasalanan
18:08.2
ng dating administration.
18:09.9
Because ang ginawa nila is
18:11.7
they encourage
18:13.9
China to believe
18:16.2
na it's just a matter of time before,
18:18.3
or alis na tayo dyan
18:19.9
sa Ayunginsyol, at it's just a matter
18:22.4
of time before
18:23.5
sasakupin nila ang Ayunginsyol.
18:26.0
Bakit ka mo? Because kung pinakinggan nyo
18:28.1
yung hen yung ex-human rights lawyer na yan,
18:30.8
yung ayayaya,
18:32.1
um, ang sinabi niya ayayaya is, uh,
18:34.4
uh, may agreement po
18:36.1
na status ko, ganun-ganun, yung mga ganun.
18:38.3
Um,
18:39.0
the problem is,
18:42.0
status ko, hindi Ayunginsyol
18:44.7
3, 4, 5, 6 years ago
18:46.6
with me na essentially,
18:48.1
i-give up natin yung Ayunginsyol
18:50.4
kasi sa mga henyo
18:52.1
na hindi nag-iisip dyan,
18:53.8
eto ah, obviously I'm being sarcastic
18:56.2
kasi kung henyo ka naman talaga nag-iisip ka
18:58.0
pero yung mga kunyaring nagpa-filling henyo
19:00.1
nagpa-filling expert, nagpa-filling
19:02.2
period,
19:04.2
eh status ko in the Ayunginsyol
19:06.4
means we are gonna
19:08.2
surrender it.
19:09.7
We're gonna give up on it. Because
19:11.9
nako naman mga kamets,
19:14.5
nako naman mga kamets, mga ka
19:16.3
New York, Cubao,
19:18.1
mga ka New York, Cubao,
19:20.1
tingnan nyo naman yung BRP Sierra Madre,
19:22.8
sa tingin nyo ba, tatagal yung
19:24.4
ganitong
19:25.0
mga uring bagay, sa tingin nyo
19:28.3
tatagal yan, sa tingin nyo tatagal
19:30.6
yan kung hindi natin
19:31.7
i-fortify yan. This thing,
19:35.6
bumibigay na yan,
19:36.3
bibigay na yan, I mean,
19:38.6
wala, talagang hopeless case yan
19:40.4
pag hindi natin na-develop yan guys,
19:42.8
good luck sa atin. Alright?
19:44.2
Good luck sa atin. So,
19:46.2
the idea of status ko means,
19:48.1
you're giving it up.
19:50.3
Because this thing
19:51.7
is not gonna last for long.
19:54.3
I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about 3-4
19:56.2
years ago. In fact,
19:58.3
kung pinakinggan nyo yung isang interview natin
20:00.3
dun sa show natin, I think also
20:02.1
dito sa podcast natin with
20:04.0
a former Admiral,
20:06.7
Admiral Ong,
20:09.4
Romel Ong.
20:11.2
In fact, ang expectation
20:12.4
is, by now, dapat wala
20:14.3
na yung BRP Sierra Madre na yan.
20:15.9
In fact, 2 years ago pa dapat wala na yung
20:18.1
Sierra Madre na yan. Dahil sobrang
20:20.2
nag-deteriorate talaga.
20:22.1
The thing was just falling apart.
20:24.0
There was just no chance that it was
20:25.4
gonna survive. So, that
20:28.2
means, na kung totoo itong
20:30.2
gentleman's agreement na yan,
20:32.1
that means effectively, sinisurrender
20:34.3
na natin siya.
20:36.3
Now,
20:37.2
let's be absolutely clear
20:39.6
na hindi po
20:42.1
ang DFA nag-agree dito.
20:44.1
Kaya nga, gentleman's agreement siya,
20:46.2
dahil wala, walang
20:48.1
syungang magsasign na to
20:49.9
at iko-compromise ang sarili
20:52.1
niyang career and worse.
20:54.1
Kasi, potentially,
20:55.9
trisonus yun eh. Diba?
20:58.1
Or very, very controversial
21:00.1
yun. Kaya nga, wala sa DFA yan
21:01.9
nag-agree dito. Alright? Wala
21:03.9
sa DFA yan nag-agree dito.
21:06.0
Kaya nga, nag-release ng very strong statement
21:08.1
ng DFA na
21:09.4
baka minensyon yan, so they're not
21:12.0
denying it, but never, never, they're
21:14.0
gonna agree to anything that is contrary
21:15.8
to our national interest.
21:18.1
So, that raises questions.
21:19.8
So, sino to? So, kung hindi
21:21.7
DFA,
21:23.7
are you saying yung political appointee
21:25.8
in charge of DFA? So, at that time, you're thinking
21:27.7
about Cayetano? Well, the thing with
21:29.6
Cayetano is, in fairness, I'll be, I wanna
21:31.6
be fair to Secretary Cayetano.
21:34.7
Last time I checked, kasi
21:35.6
ang dami natin sinulat dito sa West Philippines issue.
21:37.9
Siguro, naka-1,000 articles na tayo, whatever.
21:41.4
In fairness,
21:41.9
if you look at it,
21:43.6
one of the things, of course, ang dami sinabi ni Cayetano
21:45.9
na sobrang problematic. Alright?
21:48.1
Pwedeng yung fact na parang siya panggalit na
21:49.7
napinsunin support tayo ng Japan,
21:52.1
Australian, US, dun sa arbitration
21:53.9
award. Marami siya mga ewan na sinabi.
21:55.8
But, in fairness naman kay Cayetano,
21:58.3
Cayetano was the one who said,
21:59.7
may three red lines tayo.
22:03.5
Red lines sa West Philippine Sea.
22:06.3
Alright?
22:07.2
I call it the three nose.
22:09.8
Right? The three nose
22:11.7
policy.
22:14.1
Ito yan, ha?
22:15.3
Ito. So, China,
22:18.1
Philippines trying to draw red lines
22:19.8
in South China Sea. Okay?
22:21.7
So, ito. Ito yung article na pwede
22:23.7
ni-check. Also, you can check my own
22:25.6
article, guys. Ipo-post ko yan
22:27.0
later on. So, effective yung sinabi ni
22:29.6
Cayetano in 2018 is that may
22:31.3
three nose tayo. Alright? Or three red
22:33.7
lines tayo. And in fact,
22:35.7
even Digong said
22:36.9
he's willing to go to war with
22:39.7
China. Of course, exaggerated parate.
22:41.4
So, even Digong
22:43.1
reaffirmed this red line, guys.
22:45.5
So, ipopost ko lahat ito naman maya sa inyo.
22:48.1
Essentially, ang argument dito
22:49.5
is
22:50.0
A,
22:52.6
ang red line natin is
22:55.3
no Chinese reclamation or
22:57.4
occupation of the Scarborough Shoal. That's the
22:59.6
first no. No
23:00.8
occupation and
23:03.1
reclamation of Scarborough Shoal.
23:06.3
Ang Scarborough Shoal po ngayon
23:07.5
is under administrative control
23:09.7
of China. But
23:11.5
China has not built military facilities
23:13.7
on it. And
23:15.4
Secretary Lorenzana back then made it very clear
23:18.1
sa atin yan, because the idea
23:20.0
of China putting missile systems, whatever,
23:22.2
over Scarborough Shoal is completely,
23:23.9
completely unacceptable. And there's gonna be
23:26.1
a response by the Philippines.
23:27.8
And sa aking pagkalam,
23:30.2
ba't yung mahaliado natin, Minya Saijong China,
23:32.6
don't militarize Scarborough Shoal,
23:34.3
there will be a response.
23:36.1
So, that's the reason why hanggang ngayon,
23:37.6
ang nangyari sa Scarborough Shoal is,
23:39.8
hindi tayo pinapayagan pumasok,
23:41.8
or nire-restrict tayo, guys.
23:44.4
But they haven't built anything on Scarborough Shoal.
23:46.8
That's the first red line.
23:48.1
And in fairness, the Duterte administration
23:49.9
was able to operationalize that
23:51.8
together with our friends and allies.
23:55.4
The second one is,
23:57.2
no unilateral Chinese development
23:59.8
of the oil and gas resources
24:01.9
dyan sa West Philippine Sea.
24:03.8
Klarong-klaro din yan dito sa three red lines
24:06.0
na sinabi ni Cayetano. And in fact,
24:08.0
si Digong Miso sabi niya, kung mangyari yan,
24:10.3
gigyera na yan. Right?
24:12.4
Beijing set some red lines, we set
24:14.1
some red lines. I'm quoting Digong.
24:16.2
So, I'm sorry, I'm quoting Cayetano,
24:18.1
referring to Digong.
24:19.9
Sabi niya, the President has already said that,
24:21.7
if anyone gets the natural resources
24:23.5
in the West Philippine Sea,
24:25.9
he will go to war. He said, whatever happens,
24:28.2
happens, we will go to war.
24:30.0
So, eto pa. So, despite all of that,
24:31.7
I love China, China will protect me,
24:33.1
all of those things.
24:35.7
Cayetano made it very clear na President Duterte
24:38.0
said, red line sa atin yan,
24:40.1
China's unilateral development
24:41.9
of resources dyan sa
24:43.2
Sabit Bank, Recto Bank, whatever you want to call it.
24:45.8
But the third important one,
24:48.1
the third important
24:49.8
red line, which Cayetano
24:51.3
mentioned was, right,
24:55.8
hindi pwede forcible expulsion
24:58.1
of our troops
24:59.5
dyan sa yung insol.
25:02.6
And in fact, Cayetano said
25:03.7
something very interesting. Sabi niya,
25:05.5
if we lose an inch of our territory
25:07.5
under his term,
25:09.7
magre-resign na siya and all of that.
25:11.6
So, very clear yung mga sinasabi ni Cayetano.
25:13.8
So, sa pag-alam ko,
25:18.1
yun yung public statement
25:20.0
ni Cayetano na
25:21.6
pretty high stakes, which is etong
25:23.6
three no's doctrine,
25:25.6
right, or etong three red lines.
25:28.3
So, wala akong alam na
25:30.2
I am not aware of
25:32.0
any situation kung saan
25:34.1
sinabi ni Cayetano
25:35.8
na may gentleman's agreement or anything na status quo.
25:39.0
In short, in fact,
25:39.8
if you interpret it properly,
25:42.1
it's implicit there
25:43.6
na the Philippines is saying, amen na talaga
25:45.9
yung ayong insol, and
25:48.1
it's up to us what we do about it.
25:49.8
But anyway, I don't want to give too much credit also to the
25:51.8
Duterte administration for reasons that you know,
25:53.7
because alam mo naman, napaksabog.
25:56.6
So, that's Cayetano.
25:58.3
So, if DFA is denying it,
25:60.0
Cayetano was the guy who came up with the three red lines.
26:02.0
So, ay hindi ko alam yung pinagsasabi na itong
26:03.9
Harry Roque na yan. And not to mention,
26:05.9
most recently, baka hindi denied din
26:07.6
ng mga ibang mga
26:09.2
facto itong sindigo.
26:11.7
Itong sinasabing gentleman's agreement.
26:14.1
Siguro, kapag katapos na laman, ang dami
26:15.7
nag-backlash dito.
26:18.1
I'll say it again.
26:20.5
Kailangan magkakaroon ng
26:21.7
masinsinan na investikasyon dito.
26:24.6
A comprehensive, thorough,
26:26.7
and objective,
26:28.2
right? Objective,
26:30.1
dispassionate
26:30.9
investigation of ano ba talaga nangyari
26:34.2
dito. Because we're getting many, many
26:36.1
contradictory statements. And it's interesting
26:38.3
here is that Cayetano
26:40.3
is also in the Senate right now. So, maybe
26:42.1
he can also help the situation by shedding
26:44.1
light on what Harry Roque is saying.
26:47.2
Now,
26:48.1
just speculation.
26:50.6
I have no confirmation of this.
26:52.4
It is also possible that
26:54.2
Digong or someone as high as that
26:56.1
just told China very informally na
26:58.4
sige-sige, wala namang kaming gagawin dyan.
27:00.7
Basta mag-invest kayo sa Pilipinas.
27:02.3
Ganyan-ganyan. May
27:03.2
quid pro quo na gano'n.
27:06.2
And mukhang later on,
27:08.2
dahil quid pro quo lang, at sabi nila
27:10.5
there's no honor among ano,
27:13.7
binaliwala na lang
27:15.3
ng Pilipinas.
27:16.7
So, that's why,
27:18.1
the DBI made it very clear. Even if may
27:20.1
gentleman's agreement na ganito, wala siyang pake.
27:22.8
He's gonna rescind that.
27:24.7
My problem with that statement is that
27:26.4
it's not enough. Hindi pwede sa daming
27:28.2
rescind lang. If ever na may gentleman's agreement,
27:30.5
kailangan investigate yan, and kailangan
27:32.2
titignan kung ito ay nag-violet ng atin
27:34.2
sa Ligang Batas, and someone has to be held accountable
27:36.2
for that. Okay? So, that's
27:38.0
very clear. Okay?
27:40.2
Pangalawa, and this is
27:42.4
where the Duterte legacy comes in.
27:44.7
Mari Jens Zibog, and
27:46.0
matrol na naman tayo. E di kung ayaw mo sa'ma, di ko mali.
27:48.1
Oh, yan. Block.
27:51.3
Yan kasi, wala naman
27:52.5
pumipilit sa inyo makinig sa atin, di ba?
27:54.2
Di ko na kasalanan kung may mga nakinig sa atin na
27:56.0
what, magpa-500 live na tayo
27:58.1
dito sa YouTube ngayon at
27:59.8
almost 12 midnight. Okay? Di ko na kasalanan
28:02.0
yan, ha? Di gawa
28:04.0
ka rin kayo ng ano nyo. Anyway,
28:06.9
yan ang problema. Kung
28:07.9
kulto-kulto kayo, talagang ma-hurt kayo
28:09.9
sa katuanan. Problema
28:11.8
na, problema. Sorry, wala akong pake sa kulto
28:14.1
nyo. Andito ako para sa ating national
28:16.0
interest. Okay? At para sa pag-iisip.
28:18.1
Okay? Critical thinking. Sanity.
28:21.1
Now,
28:22.0
but for me, honestly,
28:24.8
that alone
28:25.7
doesn't
28:28.0
capture the situation. Because
28:30.3
whether true yung gentleman's agreement
28:32.0
or not, sa aking palagay, mas malalim
28:34.3
pa yung damage na ginawa ni
28:35.9
Digong sa ating interest.
28:38.3
Hindi lang sa Ayung Insol,
28:39.9
pero sa buong West Philippine Sea.
28:43.4
Bakit ka, mo?
28:45.5
Kung titignan mo
28:46.2
in China, mukhang genuinely
28:47.7
galit sila. At genuinely
28:50.0
galit sila dahil genuinely
28:51.4
Karen sila. Genuinely Karen
28:54.0
ng China dahil mukhang genuinely
28:55.9
naniwala sila
28:58.0
na ang
28:59.9
Pilipinas,
29:01.9
beginning with Duterte, ay essentially
29:04.0
pwede nilang
29:05.3
i-manipulate or essentially mag-give up
29:08.1
na tayo dun sa mga ibang
29:09.2
strategic features na gusto
29:11.5
ng kontrolin ng China. And let's be absolutely
29:13.8
clear about this. Ang pinag-usapan natin guys
29:15.8
dito is,
29:17.7
negative control of contested territories.
29:19.7
But more importantly, sovereign
29:21.7
rights. So may mga
29:23.7
syunga dyan na mukhang feeling columnist.
29:25.7
May mga fake news peddlers dyan na
29:27.7
tinitwist yung issue.
29:29.7
Wala naman alam sa mga komplikado yung issue.
29:31.7
Wala naman publication. Wala naman,
29:33.7
hindi ko alam kung may non-major vlogger
29:35.7
anong tawag ko sa kanya. Wala naman mga niyan, mga credibility
29:37.7
mga niyan, academic sense, political sense,
29:39.7
moral sense, whatever. Nagbamaganda
29:41.7
sila ngayon by trying to lawyer for China.
29:43.7
But the reality is,
29:45.7
ito nga yung initial is a low tide
29:47.7
elevation within our exclusive
29:49.7
economic zone. So extension na siya
29:51.7
ng ating continental shelf.
29:53.7
And meron na tayong exclusive
29:55.7
kaya nga exclusive rights.
29:57.7
Hindi pwede kung nila nagrelasyon kayo. Sabi niya exclusive
29:59.7
relation. Tapos sabi niya, pero pwede ka rin
30:01.7
i-share sa ibang tao. Hindi na exclusive
30:03.7
yan. Parang sila may exclusive economic zone
30:05.7
pero hindi exclusive. Iba pa
30:07.7
yung rite of innocent passage. Alright?
30:09.7
But, basta ang
30:11.7
pinaka-frustrating sa akin is yung mga makapili,
30:13.7
yung mga tatay boys, tatay
30:15.7
girls, tatay, whatever, na
30:17.7
nagla-lawyer pa para sa China. But anyway,
30:19.7
for me, the more fundamental problem, honestly,
30:21.7
here is,
30:23.7
eto.
30:25.7
Kung maalala nyo, yung panonindigong,
30:27.7
okay, eto yung
30:29.7
pinaka-fake news na nakakainis
30:31.7
na lumalabas dito
30:33.7
sa mga walang yang makapili na yan.
30:35.7
Parating nilang sinisabi,
30:37.7
yung ang China ay napakagabait
30:39.7
dun sa mga kapigbae natin kasi
30:41.7
mabait sila sa China. Tapos
30:43.7
tayo lumalaban tayo, nakasalanan pa natin.
30:45.7
Ito talagang
30:47.7
pinaka-walang yang argument na narinig ko. Dahil
30:49.7
not only is it a
30:51.7
blatant lie, it's
30:53.7
a blatant excuse dun sa kasalanan
30:55.7
ni Digong. Because,
30:59.7
lahat ng
31:01.7
kapigbae natin ngayon na nagbe-benefit
31:03.7
sa relationship nila sa China,
31:05.7
all of them
31:07.7
benefited big time
31:09.7
from standing their ground
31:11.7
first. As I said,
31:13.7
there's an ancient
31:15.7
proverb that says,
31:17.7
let's have war now
31:19.7
so that we'll have peace later on.
31:21.7
Or like, war war now
31:23.7
para bigger peace later on.
31:25.7
Now, that literally doesn't mean war
31:27.7
as in war, but means
31:29.7
if you stand your ground,
31:31.7
you push back against the bully,
31:33.7
you get the grudging respect of
31:35.7
the bully, who knows?
31:37.7
Not only will you not be bullied in the future,
31:39.7
it is very possible
31:41.7
that the bully actually will be beneficial
31:43.7
to you and look for a more or less
31:45.7
balanced, symmetrical relationship. So,
31:47.7
let me explain this to you guys.
31:49.7
So, unang-una, huwag natin
31:51.7
kalimutan, kailangan talaga
31:53.7
natin ng thorough, comprehensive,
31:55.7
non-partisan
31:57.7
investigation na itong so-called
31:59.7
gentleman's agreement. Alright?
32:01.7
Because no less than the spokesman of the former
32:03.7
president has confirmed its
32:05.7
so-called existence. So,
32:07.7
unang-una, we have to investigate that. At kung
32:09.7
kontra rito sa national interest natin,
32:11.7
as the DFA
32:13.7
implied dun sa kanilang
32:15.7
letter or statement
32:17.7
of clarification in early March,
32:19.7
then dapat may pananagutan dito.
32:21.7
Then dapat may investigate
32:23.7
kung may mga tao
32:25.7
ay nanag-violate ng ating
32:27.7
saligang batas. At
32:29.7
criminal charges should be filed accordingly,
32:31.7
if that's the case. If that's really the case.
32:33.7
So, again,
32:35.7
but
32:37.7
as I said, my problem is not
32:39.7
only an agreement where I
32:41.7
exist or not,
32:43.7
my problem is the whole
32:45.7
time
32:47.7
we lost
32:49.7
when our neighbors were fighting
32:51.7
the good fight. Okay?
32:53.7
Alam ko si Jokowi mismo nakabasa
32:55.7
nito eh. Kasi isang tao na
32:57.7
malapit kay Jokowi, na tao
32:59.7
Okay, hindi ko na ibubuking
33:01.7
yan. Pero alam nyo naman guys, hindi naman
33:03.7
tayo medyo basta-basta. Medyo may mga connection
33:05.7
tayo rin there. Mga nai-meet lang namin ng mga
33:07.7
prime minister, mga chancellor lang naman.
33:09.7
But, alam ko nabasa ni Jokowi
33:11.7
yan eh. At napatawa daw siya.
33:13.7
May nagsabi sakin. Pero hindi ko na
33:15.7
ibubuking siya yan. But anyway,
33:17.7
um,
33:19.7
So, Jokowi, in
33:21.7
2020,
33:23.7
went to Natuna Islands
33:25.7
and said,
33:27.7
no compromise. So, ano yung
33:29.7
konteksto? Let me explain it to you guys.
33:31.7
Ito yan.
33:33.7
Ito.
33:35.7
Okay, this is it.
33:37.7
2020, Jokowi
33:39.7
tells China, vows no
33:41.7
compromise on Natuna's standoff with China.
33:43.7
So, ano nangyari dito guys?
33:45.7
Kung titignan nyo yung, explain natin ito ah.
33:47.7
Kung titignan nyo yung nine dash line
33:49.7
ng China. Or actually, eleven dash line.
33:51.7
Kasi kasama pa yung Pratas Island
33:53.7
at saka Tongking.
33:55.7
Ah, Tongking Golf.
33:57.7
Tongking kasi in Ilocano means something else.
33:59.7
Pero, never mind.
34:01.7
Eleven dash line.
34:03.7
Yung pinaka-south niya is
34:05.7
yung so-called James Shoal
34:07.7
na also Malaysia claims.
34:09.7
But the other thing is,
34:11.7
dito sa left side niya,
34:13.7
may overlap siya sa
34:15.7
North Natuna Sea
34:17.7
ng Indonesia. At yung
34:19.7
North Natuna Sea ng Indonesia ay napaka
34:21.7
strategic
34:23.7
and very rich in
34:25.7
energy and especially fisheries resources.
34:27.7
So, isang malaking
34:29.7
malaking problema sa mga Indonesians
34:31.7
ay itong situation kung saan,
34:33.7
um,
34:35.7
the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese
34:37.7
legal fishermen
34:39.7
and Chinese militia forces
34:41.7
they keep on entering dun sa
34:43.7
Indonesian waters. And then,
34:45.7
nung nagalit ng Indonesia
34:47.7
or nung sinabi ng Indonesia
34:49.7
in apprehend sila,
34:51.7
dinuli sila ng China.
34:53.7
So, ang sinabi ng Indonesia,
34:55.7
no way, no way, no way. Wala kami
34:57.7
compromise na gagawin dito.
34:59.7
This is, guys, 2020.
35:01.7
Alright? This is January 7, 2020.
35:03.7
Si Jokowi
35:05.7
mismo ay pumunta dun personally.
35:07.7
Personally, okay?
35:09.7
He went there personally to make sure
35:11.7
um, na
35:13.7
there will be no
35:15.7
sign of
35:17.7
weakness or any indication ng Pilipinas
35:19.7
ah, sorry, ang Indonesia eh.
35:21.7
Indonesia will
35:23.7
slow down or anything like that.
35:25.7
In fact, meron tayong mga pictures
35:27.7
na si Jokowi sumakay pa ng mga aeroplano
35:29.7
yung mga ganun. So,
35:31.7
hindi po totoo,
35:33.7
na ang laki na investment ng China
35:35.7
sa mga kapitbahay natin dahil
35:37.7
sila ay, sila ay may duwag
35:39.7
or sila ay mga nagchuchuchu, ay sila ay
35:41.7
nagkakautaw sa China. That's not true.
35:43.7
Indonesia stood up
35:45.7
to China first, very strongly,
35:47.7
very firmly. Nagpadala sila ng
35:49.7
F-16 fighters, which
35:51.7
makes you wonder, Indonesia na hindi ally
35:53.7
ng US may F-16 fighters. Tayo nang ally ng US,
35:55.7
wala pa tayong F-16 fighters. So may makakulang
35:57.7
talaga yung alliance din natin. Pero
35:59.7
mahabang usapan yan. By the way, Indonesia bought
36:01.7
those things. Alright? Hindi naman libre yan.
36:03.7
But nevertheless, yan ang silbi ng alliance natin.
36:05.7
So see, I'm fair. May mga
36:07.7
issue din ako sa US. But mahabang
36:09.7
usapan yan.
36:11.7
You can go to my other vlogs and discussions
36:13.7
including with our American
36:15.7
guests about my concerns about
36:17.7
shortcomings of United States. So ito,
36:19.7
very, very clear. Very,
36:21.7
very clear na sinabi ng Indonesia
36:23.7
no compromise. At
36:25.7
nagpadali ng warships, nagpadala ng
36:27.7
fighter jets, at
36:29.7
nagpalaki ng kanilang military
36:31.7
naval presence doon sa north na
36:33.7
Tennessee. In fact, yung north na
36:35.7
Tennessee, ginaya tayo eh.
36:37.7
Ginaya tayo because
36:39.7
diba, we called
36:41.7
the EEZ of the Philippines in the South
36:43.7
China Sea, West Philippine Sea. We're not climbing the entire
36:45.7
South China Sea basin. We're just claiming
36:47.7
yung exclusive economic zone natin. At yun ang tinatawag
36:49.7
natin na West
36:51.7
Philippine Sea. So in the same way,
36:53.7
yung exclusive economic zone ng Indonesia
36:55.7
nag-overlap doon sa South China Sea
36:57.7
at sa claims ng China, nine-dash lang claim ng
36:59.7
China, na halos sinasako pang 85%
37:01.7
of the South China Sea basin.
37:03.7
Ang ginagawa
37:05.7
ng Indonesia dyan is, they
37:07.7
rename that whole area as North Tuna Sea
37:09.7
to reinforce their claim in the area.
37:11.7
Pero hindi lang rhetorically, hindi
37:13.7
lang yung paabagado-abagado, hindi lang
37:15.7
papunta lang sa sahig, hindi
37:17.7
lang arbitration-arbitration, pero
37:19.7
they enforce that. They enforce that.
37:21.7
That's Indonesia.
37:23.7
Now, interestingly,
37:25.7
mga kamets, Malaysia,
37:27.7
which has a very Duterte-style
37:29.7
president now in terms of being pro-China,
37:31.7
right, yung
37:33.7
kasalukuyan na Prime Minister
37:35.7
ng Malaysia ay very pro-China.
37:37.7
At yung Prime Minister ng Malaysia
37:39.7
in 2014, 15, 16 in Egypt ay very
37:41.7
pro-China and independent sa China. But
37:43.7
Malaysia began to change things
37:45.7
a little bit, at least between 2018,
37:47.7
2019, all the way to 2021.
37:49.7
So in
37:51.7
2019,
37:53.7
right,
37:55.7
Malaysia
37:57.7
unilaterally, alam nyo naman guys,
37:59.7
yung Petronas, diba, yung malaking
38:01.7
energy company ng Malaysia, ng Petronas.
38:03.7
Kung nanood kayo ng F1,
38:05.7
Formula 1, yun yung isa sa mga
38:07.7
big sponsors ng Mercedes-Benz team.
38:09.7
Especially nung time nandun si Hamilton at
38:11.7
nanalo pa sila.
38:13.7
Now, the thing with Malaysia
38:15.7
is that, if you look at Malaysia,
38:23.7
yung Petronas nila
38:25.7
is naghahanap ng new
38:27.7
resources, energy resources dyan sa
38:29.7
Philippines Sea. So ang nangyari there is
38:31.7
in 2019,
38:33.7
they unilaterally drilled
38:35.7
for oil and gas.
38:37.7
Nag-explore sila and drill sila ng oil and gas
38:39.7
in areas na hindi lang kiniklaim
38:41.7
ng China, pero kiniklaim din
38:43.7
ng Indonesia.
38:45.7
So that actually interestingly
38:47.7
created a three-way fight.
38:49.7
Ito, Malaysia picks a three-way fight
38:51.7
in the South China Sea. This is an article on
38:53.7
AMTI. All the details are
38:55.7
there. So China hired this so-called
38:57.7
West Capella, parang
38:59.7
drilling platform.
39:01.7
So these fields
39:03.7
sit within Malaysia's oil and gas blocks
39:05.7
ND1 and ND2.
39:07.7
These are also claimed by China.
39:09.7
Both China and Vietnam tried to
39:11.7
stop Malaysia from doing it, but Malaysia
39:13.7
and Indonesia pressed with it
39:15.7
despite intimidation and all.
39:17.7
And eventually, interestingly,
39:19.7
US and Australia
39:21.7
somehow supported Malaysia
39:23.7
by having patrols
39:25.7
near Malaysia.
39:27.7
Malaysian waters, especially
39:29.7
Israel.
39:31.7
So that was partly interpreted
39:33.7
as those countries showing
39:35.7
support for Malaysia, albeit indirectly.
39:37.7
So, true, may mga
39:39.7
nag-comment dyan na behind the scenes
39:41.7
actually Indonesia and US are close
39:43.7
friends. That's true. Behind the scenes, there's
39:45.7
many security cooperation. I'll tell you
39:47.7
what, behind the scenes, ganun din ang
39:49.7
Malaysia. Marami silang mga security cooperation.
39:51.7
But obviously, dahil ito mga Muslim majority
39:53.7
countries, obviously
39:55.7
because may mga economic interests sila with China,
39:57.7
hindi katulad ni tatay na nangututo sila,
39:59.7
talagang may investment na malalaki in China,
40:01.7
na medyo maganda pa yung ibang investments,
40:03.7
including infrastructure investments,
40:05.7
medyo ingat sila publicly.
40:07.7
Pero behind the scenes, malapit ang Malaysia
40:09.7
at Indonesia sa US din.
40:11.7
At both of them have very advanced
40:13.7
Western weapon systems, at least
40:15.7
kumpara sa Pilipinas. And as I said, in the case
40:17.7
of Indonesia, they have F-16 fighters.
40:19.7
I think also the Malaysians, right,
40:21.7
have some of the advanced fighter jets,
40:23.7
aside from Russian fighter jets
40:25.7
and MiG fighters that they have. So,
40:27.7
also Malaysia, very aggressively
40:31.7
pushed back against China few years ago.
40:33.7
And then yung Vietnam, guys,
40:35.7
kailangan ko ba i-explain yung Vietnam?
40:37.7
Di ba, as the cliche goes, Vietnam has been
40:39.7
standing up to China for a thousand years.
40:41.7
Now, obviously, the reality is far more complicated
40:43.7
as I have written in different articles
40:45.7
and books and projects and all,
40:47.7
kung saan there were many times that Vietnam and China
40:49.7
were very close, and
40:51.7
today's Vietnam actually drew
40:53.7
a lot of its state
40:55.7
building, state craft strategies,
40:57.7
from China. Ang laki ng cultural
40:59.7
influence ng China sa
41:01.7
Northern Vietnam. Ang laki ng
41:03.7
influence ng China
41:05.7
dun sa success ng Vietnamese Revolution,
41:07.7
Communist Revolution, and Nationalist Movement, yes.
41:09.7
But nevertheless, the Vietnamese
41:11.7
never, never, never look weak. And interestingly,
41:13.7
last year, when
41:15.7
Xi Jinping
41:17.7
visited
41:19.7
when Xi Jinping visited
41:21.7
Hanoi for a state visit,
41:23.7
so Vietnam was very successful
41:25.7
diplomatically last year. It became the only country that
41:27.7
hosted state visit of both Biden
41:29.7
and Xi Jinping, the two most
41:31.7
powerful leaders back to back.
41:33.7
And what happened in the case of Vietnam
41:35.7
was that, even though the meeting
41:37.7
was all about economics
41:39.7
and having very good relationships
41:41.7
and all of that,
41:43.7
Vietnam made it very clear
41:47.7
na don't sacrifice
41:49.7
as far as sovereignty issues
41:51.7
are concerned. They said, we want to settle it
41:53.7
peacefully, but they also made it
41:55.7
very clear that they're not
41:57.7
gonna soft pedal
41:59.7
on anything.
42:01.7
Anything that has to do with their
42:03.7
sovereign claims sa South China Sea
42:05.7
or what they call East Sea and also in the Tonkin Gulf.
42:07.7
Alright? So,
42:09.7
these are the things, guys, that you have to keep
42:11.7
in mind, alright? That
42:13.7
all of our neighbors
42:15.7
fought back against China
42:17.7
exactly when Duterte
42:19.7
was like that to China
42:21.7
and kowtowing to China.
42:23.7
So that is why right now, we're paying the price
42:25.7
for that. After all those
42:27.7
years of Duterte's observance
42:29.7
and kowtow and fighting with our allies
42:31.7
and embarrassing himself
42:33.7
and embarrassing our country. I'll tell you guys.
42:35.7
I'll tell you guys honestly.
42:37.7
Alright?
42:39.7
Ayos siya ng mga ibang Asian leaders.
42:41.7
I'm sorry.
42:43.7
I'll be honest about it. Nakakahiya talaga
42:45.7
siyang leader back in the day.
42:47.7
As in the other Asian leaders, iniwasan siya.
42:49.7
Hindi lang yung mga western
42:51.7
leaders yung mga ganyan. At I'm sure
42:53.7
deep inside ba't yung mga Chinese leaders walang
42:55.7
respeto sa taong yan. So,
42:57.7
ang problem
42:59.7
is ang hinan niya sa
43:01.7
geopolitics. I'll tell you what.
43:03.7
Ang galing niya in terms of making noise
43:05.7
and creating
43:07.7
headlines and all. Magaling siya.
43:09.7
I'll give that to him. Populists are
43:11.7
good in that sense. But you know,
43:13.7
anyone in that position can make headlines
43:15.7
by just doing something crazy.
43:17.7
But the problem is that hindi niya ginamit
43:19.7
sa tama yung element of surprise
43:21.7
and unpredictability
43:23.7
that he brought into the
43:25.7
picture early on.
43:27.7
And then later on, parang walang nangyari.
43:29.7
Hindi siya lumaban para sa atin
43:31.7
sa West Philippine Sea. Sinabi nung
43:33.7
kanyang presidential spokesman dati na may
43:35.7
gentleman's agreement. Worse,
43:37.7
yung mga kapitbahay natin
43:39.7
na lumalaban, sila pang
43:41.7
kumukuha ng investment ang malaki sa China.
43:43.7
Tapos ang Pilipinas, ganyan
43:45.7
ang nangyari sa atin.
43:47.7
Tuloy, dahil kay Bigong,
43:49.7
sa kanyang sobrang mahinang
43:51.7
strategic thinking, if I can even
43:53.7
call it thinking,
43:55.7
kung barangay nga, barangay geopolitics talaga,
43:59.7
walang respeto ang China sa Pilipinas.
44:01.7
Ang tingin nila sa atin, banana republic.
44:03.7
At ang tingin nila sa atin,
44:05.7
pwede lang tayo ma-manipulate.
44:07.7
Ano lang yung nandun sa taas, pwede na lahat.
44:09.7
Yun yung problema natin, guys.
44:11.7
Sa akin palagang, yun ang pinakamalaking damage
44:13.7
na ginawa ni Bigong. Kaya ngayon,
44:15.7
unfortunately,
44:17.7
I have many issues with BBM. But
44:19.7
at least BBM is getting one thing right, and this is
44:21.7
the West Philippine Sea issue. Pero BBM is having
44:23.7
all of these problems and headaches because,
44:25.7
he's forcing China
44:27.7
to show us some basic respect,
44:29.7
and he's forcing China
44:31.7
to realize na hindi na ito Duterte Republic.
44:33.7
As simple as that.
44:35.7
As simple as that. And para sa akin, mga kameta,
44:37.7
yun yung pinakamalaking damage
44:39.7
na ginawa ni Bigong
44:41.7
sa ating national interest
44:43.7
as far as the West Philippine Sea is concerned.
44:45.7
Now, ibang usapan pa yung human rights
44:47.7
disasters and catastrophes
44:49.7
during this time. Okay, guys, I'll keep it there.
44:51.7
Napahaba yung usapan natin. As you can see, medyo antak-antak
44:53.7
pa ako. Medyo paibahan.
44:55.7
Baiba yung time zones. Pero nga, hindi na ako
44:57.7
magbibira sa New York ko ba? O tuloy?
44:59.7
Papa New York na yata tayo dahil doon, ha?
45:01.7
Na reroute lahat ng mga connecting flights ko.
45:03.7
Anyways, guys, thank you
45:05.7
