I'd just like to put on record to my dear colleagues, maybe I was misunderstood, I was interviewed over the weekend about this issue.
00:08.4
Ang sinabi ko lang, nahihinayin po ako dahil kung tayo ay bumanat po sa China, sinasabi daw nila ay tayo ay anti-Duterte.
00:21.6
Pag tayo naman ay sumasangayon sa China, tayo daw ay pro-Duterte.
00:25.4
We shouldn't put politics in this particular issue dahil soberenyo po ang pinag-uusapan natin.
00:32.7
We are talking about sovereignty.
00:34.8
Dapat magkaisa tayong mga Pilipino pagdating sa soberenya ng West Philippine Sea.
00:43.2
Yan sana ang gusto natin iparating.
00:45.3
Kasi ang sabi ko nga, kung tayo ay sumuporta sa ganitong hito,
00:55.4
kung tayo ay anti-Duterte,
00:58.0
I want to put that on record kasi minsan tinitwist ng media.
01:10.5
Sabihin, oh, we reject the hearings on the West Philippine Sea because it's pamumulitika.
01:18.7
Hindi po. Ang nagagalit lang po ako dahil ginagamit nila yung political angle.
01:24.7
Dito sa napaka-klarong issue, which is the sovereignty of the West Philippine Sea,
01:31.9
which is 100% Philippine-owned, and we are protecting it.
01:36.6
Kaya, I already spoke as well to the majority floor leader,
01:41.5
and we both agree that after this hearing, I mean after your speech,
01:47.0
we shall now refer to the proper committee.
01:51.2
We'll wait for the majority leader to make the proper motion.
01:54.7
We'll discuss this particular issue.
01:57.3
Ang ayaw ko lang po ay katulad yan.
02:00.6
May nagtatayo ng nagtatas na kamay ating kapatid si Sen. Bato de la Rosa.
02:05.5
Sabi nila, pagka-pro hearing dyan kay Sen. Bato de la Rosa, anti-Marcos ka.
02:13.7
Dito naman, kung dito ka naman pupunta sa hearing ni Sen. Riza, anti-Duterte ka.
02:19.9
Hindi po, mga kababayan na nakikinig po sa atin na yun.
02:23.5
Number one, the Senate, as an independent institution, respects the committee system
02:30.5
to be able to independently investigate certain issues, regardless of political color.
02:39.3
Yan ay napakalaga.
02:41.2
And as your Senate President, I told you I will support you 100%.
02:45.3
Doon tayo sa gitna, patas po tayo.
02:47.7
So, para malaman lang ng media na sinasabi,
02:53.5
nung sinabi ko po yun, marami nang haka-haka na lumabas.
02:57.3
Ang sinasabi ko lang, nahihinayan po ako dahil nawawala po yung issue
03:04.0
dahil sa pumulitika laban sa isang dating presidente at laban na yun sa existing or current president.
03:12.4
We should take out that political color, look at the issues at hand,
03:16.1
and how we can strengthen, number one, the independence of this institution,
03:23.5
number two, come out, to be able to come out with legislation
03:27.6
to support the particular issues na hindi na po ito mangyari muli.
03:32.4
In that interview that I was asked last Saturday,
03:35.2
I said, it is with the Committee on Rules at the moment.
03:38.2
The chairman of the Committee on Rules will make the decision on Monday, sabi ko.
03:41.8
So, there was no plan to delay this particular issue.
03:49.6
Now, sabi ko nga,
03:53.5
by Monday, marirefer na yan.
03:55.5
Pero kung tatanungin nyo ako personally, and I said this in the interview,
03:59.7
kung personally tatanungin nyo ako, naging majority leader ako ng tatlong beses,
04:04.7
ire-refer ko yan sa Committee on Foreign Relations
04:07.7
because any gentleman agreement between two state parties,
04:11.7
it really is a foreign relations committee jurisdiction.
04:16.7
So, pati ako sinabi ko yun eh.
04:21.2
Kung sa aking pananaw,
04:22.7
dati akong majority leader, papunta yan sa Committee on Foreign Relations.
04:26.3
Pero there is no, in any way, there's no such thing or any such thing as
04:32.9
we were going to delay this particular hearing.
04:36.0
Tama lang kasi nung Wednesday, we ran out of time
04:40.7
and the majority leader wanted to study it further
04:44.2
because there were other committees that wanted to hear it together.
04:48.2
In other words, he was just trying to find the right referral to this particular,
04:52.7
which today I believe...
04:56.6
I just would like to further debunk the wrong notion that you have just earlier cited, Mr. President.
05:04.0
That is being propagated by some quarters.
05:08.1
For the record, I am pro Duterte,
05:11.1
but I am anti-China as far as Chinese bullying in the west Philippine sea.
05:17.2
So, mabuti niyo clarity, Mr. President.
05:20.7
Very good. Very good.
05:21.7
I am a good friend of the President, the former President Duterte.
05:26.4
In fact, I cannot become a Senator without his help.
05:29.8
I am indebted to him, yung pagiging Senador ko.
05:33.0
Pero when it comes to Chinese bullying in the West Philippine Sea, my heart and soul is anti-China, Mr. President.
