Tonight, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants former President Duterte to bear details of his status quo agreement with China.
00:10.2
This secret deal, according to experts, violates the Philippine Constitution and even international law.
00:17.5
And five people are killed in a knife attack in Sydney.
00:21.2
Perpetrator shot dead by police.
00:30.0
Good evening, I'm Stanley Palisada.
00:40.7
On our broadcast tonight, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. dares his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, to come clean on his secret deal with China over the West Philippine Sea.
00:51.7
Marcos issued a challenge as the former president called Marcos a crybaby for revitalizing ties with the United States.
00:58.6
Katrina Domingo has the story.
01:00.1
Tonight's top story.
01:02.9
The new partnership of the Philippines, Japan, and the United States will change the dynamics in the region.
01:08.8
This is what President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said after the first ever trilateral summit of the three countries.
01:14.7
But he clarifies that it was not forged to anger any country.
01:18.6
I think it's important to me to make clear is that this is the trilateral agreement.
01:27.5
It's not something that...
01:30.0
It's only out of convenience or because there is a new situation.
01:36.3
Security and defense, of course, is there.
01:38.5
But that is not the main point of the trilateral agreement.
01:46.2
And if you've read the joint vision statement, very well defined.
01:52.2
Even the sectors, the areas that we have prioritized are stated very clearly.
01:59.9
Even the sectors, the areas that we have prioritized are stated very clearly.
02:00.2
The president gave a statement after China denounced the trilateral summit saying that closed cliques that exclude others in the region should be frowned upon.
02:10.5
And that the Philippines and Japan should not invite factional opposition into the region.
02:14.9
The Chinese embassy in the Philippines also urged the parties to stop playing block politics and to stop interfering with China's internal affairs as this allegedly undermines regional peace and stability.
02:25.9
Despite these statements from Asia's largest economy, Marcos Jr. is confident...
02:30.2
That this will not deter Beijing from pursuing its trade and economic interests in the Philippines.
02:36.3
I don't see how the two are connected.
02:39.3
China will continue whatever investments they choose to make,
02:44.0
this is separate from any
02:49.4
potential Chinese investments in the Philippines.
02:53.1
How do I see how it will affect?
02:55.6
I don't see that it will affect in one way or the other.
02:59.5
I don't see that it will affect in one way or the other.
02:59.9
I don't see that it will affect in one way or the other.
03:00.0
At sa China, former President Rodrigo Duterte was also among the critics of the trilateral summit.
03:05.0
The Davaoenya politician called his successor Marcos a crybaby for turning to the United States
03:10.0
after China's latest aggression in Philippine waters.
03:13.4
But the incumbent president brushed off Duterte's snide remarks.
03:17.9
I don't pay any attention to that.
03:21.2
The former president is a highly experienced lawyer.
03:24.6
He should know that ad hominem attacks like that are really of no place
03:30.7
in this kind of very important and very precarious discussions.
03:38.7
Marcos says instead of launching ad hominem attacks,
03:41.5
Duterte should focus on explaining to the public the details of his secret deal with China.
03:46.8
You need to know what did you agree to?
03:50.6
What did you compromise?
03:52.8
Ano yung pinamigay niyo?
03:54.6
Bakit nagagalit sa atin ang mga kaibigan natin sa China dahil hindi kami sumusunod?
04:02.1
Ano yung dapat namin gawin?
04:04.1
Anong laman nung secret agreement na yan?
04:07.6
At pangatlo, bakit secret?
04:09.3
It was decided in the last administration that we will not record this.
04:15.3
It was decided in the last administration we will not announce it to the Filipino people.
04:22.6
Therefore, it is a secret agreement.
04:24.6
The president says those who were involved in the secret deal should be held accountable.
04:30.4
We need to clarify the situation because in nalalagay ang Pilipinas sa alanganin eh.
04:36.2
I would disagree with that idea that you enter into a secret agreement.
04:42.3
You know, you have any secret, any agreement with another sovereign state
04:48.5
should really be known by the people.
04:52.0
That way, you are accountable.
04:54.6
If it's a bad decision, you're accountable.
04:58.0
Despite these statements, Marcos Jr. insists that he does not consider Duterte as a political enemy.
05:04.0
That's his view. I don't consider him a political enemy.
05:07.4
Takes two to tango.
05:08.8
Marcos Jr. also defended Duterte's daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte,
05:12.8
who is being criticized for staying silent on China's repeated dangerous maneuvers
05:17.1
and illegal actions in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.
05:20.7
I don't think that it's something that we need to...
05:24.6
That's not the role of a vice president or a secretary of education to talk about China.
05:31.3
I'm very sure that if Inday Sara had some very serious misgivings
05:37.2
about what we are doing in terms of foreign policy, she will bring them to me.
05:41.9
Before flying back to Manila, the president met with several business leaders here.
05:45.7
He says he is confident that the Philippines will receive billions worth of investments
05:49.7
from Japan and the U.S. in the coming years.
05:52.5
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
05:54.6
will answer questions on whether or not other countries are looking to forge closer ties
05:59.2
or even alliances with the Philippines.
06:01.8
He says plans should not be disclosed until they are fully realized.
06:06.8
Katrina Domingo, ABS-CBN News, Washington, D.C.
06:11.9
As the Marcos administration seeks accountability over the status quo agreement
06:16.5
on the West Philippine Sea, at least two experts point out clear violations
06:20.9
of the Philippine Constitution because of that deal.
06:24.6
Michael Deleza reports.
06:27.6
A legal expert believes former President Duterte could be charged
06:31.5
with violating the anti-grass law over a secret deal with China
06:35.4
involving the BRP Sierra Madre, the country's lone naval outpost in the West Philippine Sea.
06:41.0
Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said
06:43.9
the Philippines was put at a disadvantage
06:46.6
when Duterte accepted a status quo agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
06:51.8
Carpio adds the deal violates not only the Constitution,
06:54.6
but international law as well.
06:57.6
Any undue advantage given by Duterte to China is a violation of the anti-grass law.
07:05.9
So pwede yung gagamitin na yun at saka yung prescription period nito is 20 years.
07:10.6
So in the next 20 years, from 2022, June 2022, he can be charged and prosecuted for this.
07:22.8
The former magistrate also states,
07:24.6
he slammed the Duterte administration for keeping the public in the dark.
07:28.4
He agreed not to bring construction materials.
07:31.6
We have the exclusive right to put up a structure.
07:36.4
Ang ginawa niya, krinipol niya yung ating right.
07:40.9
Nireduce niya yung right natin.
07:42.7
Ang sabi ni Duterte, that is just personal agreement.
07:46.9
Eh kahit na siya, hindi niya mapaklaro sa China kung ano klaseng agreement yun.
07:54.6
Gusto niya, personal lang, gentleman's agreement.
07:58.5
Pero ang China, sabi nila, that is a state-to-state agreement.
08:03.6
Eh ano klaseng president na yun?
08:05.5
Hindi niya alam anong ginagawa niya.
08:07.1
A maritime law expert also called out Duterte for acceding to the agreement.
08:12.2
Dr. Jeffrey Ordanyel, Director for Maritime Security Pacific Forum International,
08:17.0
echoed the position of the former magistrate.
08:19.8
Ordanyel explains, Ayungin Chul, where the grounded warship is located,
08:24.0
is well within the borders of China.
08:24.6
It is in the country's exclusive economic zone.
08:26.7
This means, the Philippines has the exclusive rights to exploit and explore its resources
08:31.9
and the right to build artificial structures in the area.
08:35.8
So, kung mag-decide man ang Pilipinas na we reinforce that vessel
08:41.9
and maybe build a structure on top of it, that's within our rights under international law.
08:47.0
On Thursday, former President Duterte admitted that the deal involved
08:50.7
not only bringing construction materials for the repair and upkeep of the BRP,
08:54.6
which is in dire need of repairs.
08:57.4
Some analysts say, without intervention, the Second World War-era warship
09:01.7
will succumb to the elements in time.
09:03.9
For the Philippine Coast Guard, which has been at the receiving end of Chinese aggression,
09:08.1
Duterte's pivot to China failed to ease tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
09:12.4
Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, J. Tariela, says,
09:15.8
the previous administration's devious approach to the maritime row
09:19.5
did not provide any significant benefit for the Philippines.
09:24.6
Describing the administration of former President Duterte as a mere appeasement
09:31.1
dealing with the People's Republic of China when it comes to the West Philippine Sea.
09:38.6
We also have this kind of deftist mindset that we're not supposed to react
09:44.6
to whatever provocative actions that they carry out.
09:48.0
But for President Marcos, this is completely different.
09:50.9
We launched our transparency strategy.
10:00.6
More Filipinos now are very supportive of our efforts in the West Philippine Sea.
10:06.8
They are more aware now.
10:08.7
Meanwhile, the Philippines and the United States held an unprecedented bilateral meeting on Friday.
10:14.3
Top defense, foreign relations, and national security officials participated in the meeting,
10:19.5
which was meant to further deepen the security partnership of both sides.
10:23.5
Our meeting today will enable us to hopefully be in a better position to coordinate our responses both diplomatic and on the defense and security fronts in relation to any actions the South China Sea, whether they're positive or negative, including in the UN show.
10:42.0
We very much welcome this opportunity to pursue that cooperation, collaboration, and of course we stand with the Philippines in our ironclad defense commitments, including the Mutual Defense Treaty.
10:57.0
The South China Sea is a resource-rich, critical waterway where trillions of dollars in trade pass annually. Michael Delizo, ABS-CBN News.
11:08.3
A progressive group, Bayan Muna, is calling on President Marcos to cease.
11:12.0
Bayan Muna will seek the cooperation of other ASEAN countries experiencing Chinese aggression in the South China Sea to file an arbitration case against Beijing.
11:20.7
Bayan Muna says Marcos should convince like-minded countries to challenge China's expansive claims in the disputed waterway.
11:29.3
The group says it is also important for Manila to quash Beijing's territorial claim over Pag-asa Island, which is home to about 300 Filipinos.
11:38.9
Pag-asa Island is only 226.
11:42.0
Pag-asa Island is only 27 nautical miles from Palawan, but twice as far from China's nearest baseline.
11:49.2
U.S. President Joe Biden is seeking $128 million in funding for projects in America's Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with the Philippines.
11:58.2
Now that plan, bared by U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in his Friday meeting at the Pentagon with President Marcos.
12:05.3
The funding will cover 36 EDCA infrastructure projects.
12:09.0
Austin said these will further underscore the...
12:12.0
...strength of Manila and Washington's alliance.
12:15.6
President Marcos, for his part, thanked the U.S. for its unwavering commitment and support to maintain peace and order in the South China Sea.
12:24.8
We hope that this trilateral agreement, which we formalized yesterday, will be a formalization of an added multilateral support and structure...
12:40.1
...that will make the safety...
12:42.0
...the peace and the stability of the South China Sea a reality and continues to be a reality.
12:51.5
An armed attack on Philippine armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft in the Pacific, including the South China Sea...
13:00.5
...would invoke U.S. defense commitments under our mutual defense treaty.
13:06.2
Both of our countries have invested significant time and resources to address...
13:11.4
our shared security challenges
