The Philippine Ambassador to the US on the South China Sea dispute and tensions with China | DW News

- As tensions continue to rise between the Philippines and China over their mutual claims to parts of the South China Sea, in a conflict with the potential to pull in Washington, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez outlines what’s at stake for his country - and as he argues, for the world.
In 1999, the Philippines deliberately marooned the BRP Sierra Madre on the Second Thomas Shoal, along with its crew to act as an outpost and to further its territorial claims.
As Chinese ships step up present-day attempts to block resupply missions to the Sierra Madre, news of a so-called “gentlemen’s agreement” between former President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration and Chinese government officials has created a furor. Chinese officials claim the existence of an audio recording where the Duterte government essentially agreed to a less vigorous pursuit of the Philippine claim to the Second Thomas Shoal and to refrain from bringing construction materials to the outpost. The current tensions, in China’s view, are a product of Manila’s reneging on the agreement.
For its part, the present administration under Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has denied knowledge of any such deal and has generally been taking a different tack from the previous government. Marcos has pivoted back to the United States, reaffirming defense ties with the United States, and with partners in the region like Japan. The hope is that there’s safety in numbers - that stronger alliances will raise the costs of aggression for China.

There was an agreement in 2012 that China and the Philippines will remove all their military forces from Scarborough Shoal but China stayed and occupied the place. Now who is not following Gentleman’s Agreement?
CHINA 😆😆 😆😆
@@margobicbic3838 is patehtic.
the philippine build the country on China's doorstep, and then claim their yard as the philippine‘ own
Check again, "In a May 11 interview on dzBB, Cuisia (Jose Cuisia Jr., PH ambassador to US) said then-US Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell (Architect of US Pivot to Asia) proposed the withdrawal of Philippine ships from the shoal. Cuisia said he proposed that China do the same." Cuisia said Kurt Campbell talked to the Chinese ambassador and that they agreed to withdraw, his words, none of our own delegates got a confirmation from the Chinese ambassador, Cuisia took Campbell's word and ran with it, told Del Rosario to pull out the ships while China stayed. That's how we lost Scarborough Shoal. They Chinese ambassador said they never agreed to anything. That how we were fooled by the US and continues to be fooled by the US now by fanning the flames of the tensions in the South China Sea, which doesn't benefit us and only benefit the hegemony of the US.
@@octavia7408 You only know half of the story. Look for the other half involving the talks between DFA and Chinese Embassy in Manila.
There's no way of solutions, unless China stop their greediness and expansionism.
correct! no other solution! to fight back and protect our EEZ territory, with the help of our allies country's specially USA.
This bucks! I wanna go to Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Thailand. But the way things are going it will be to dangerous. All because China wants to take over the world.
If the world will truly be affected by this harassment of china claiming most of the water in the west Philippine sea! They should call out and condemn the aggression of china and its reclamation in the area.
Dapat ganyan sana mga opisyales natin matalinong sumagot, simpleng simple lang magsalita pero punongpuno ng laman, tinalo pa ang nagreview sa law, simple lang sumagot pero malalim ang mga katagang binibitawan...❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I agree, intelligence doesn't mean integrity. It doesn't go both ways.
Si PNoy tingnan mo pano lumusot sa CNN interview nung Yolanda. Si PRRD tingnan mo ang Logic nya dun sa Aljazeera about EJK and Justification by so called Collateral damage principle.
Maraming magaling,pero di honest, maraming fluent, rhetorical, pero parang abugado kaya nyang baliktarin ang sagot at isisi sa iba ang Mali.
Hindi lahat ng magaling tapat at honest bro. Kung magaling lang hanap mo mas organize pa ang rhetorics at dialogue ni PNOy kay Marcos at Duterte 3 times.
Magaling mag isip magaling magpalusot, ang mahal ang bayan tapat sa bayan.

Do you know what the difference is? The difference is that the names “India” and “Indian Ocean” were not given by Indians. They were given by Western colonists, while the South China Sea was named by the Chinese.
@@kevinrich5222 china used to call it the south sea in history, the Europeans gave the name as south china sea 😢
I have a friend on Mindanao for 8 yrs. I watch a lot of news there and have been watching what has been happening in The West Philippine Sea. China has been getting more and more aggressive. Which is sad and unprovoked from Filipinos. My Heart Goes Out To The Filipino, as Well For All OFW's. May God Bless 🙏 The Philippines 🇵🇭 From U.S. 🇺🇸
Located in Europe, I not always find it easy to feel well-informed about what is happening all over the world. Thank you Janelle Dumalaon at DW for the consistent work in this situation of the Philippines (plus Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, South-Korea, Indonesia etc.) and .. well, we know who.
ITS A TRADE ROUTE, THAT CHINA WILL TOLL AND TAX for ur goods to be controlled and price rise
Reporter never talked about the illegal military islands and destruction of environment
First of all stop calling it South china Sea it's not china Sea.
I agree. The world must call it South East Asian Sea. Since that sea is basically located in the SEA region. China can take their 200 nautical mile eez and call it south china sea. But the rest should be called South East Asian Sea.
We have been calling this South China Sea for many many year, you are not happy?
@tibetanchineseofchina Yes, because china doesn't own the sea, the world owns the sea.china is selfish.
@@tibetanchineseofchinawest Philippine Sea
@@tibetanchineseofchinaat this point keeping the name as the “China sea” is just going to give them an incentive to continue claiming it
I am happy that our DFA is grabbing the bull by the horn. Philippines has soverignthy over West Philippine Sea or 200 nautical miles of our Exclusive Economic Zone. (EEZ)
This is the best diplomatic response to an interview that i have heard. he stands for peace and not war. god bless u sir
This ambassador is a lapdog of the US and will do all the bidding of his master.
The Philippines was on the right side of history when it fought against the Axis Powers.

The Philippines is in the right side of History as fight China's expansionism and aggression.
Palestinian and Houthi terrorists had killed innocent Filipinos during the current Israel-Hamas conflict.
Why would the Philippines support Palestinian terrorists?
Eveyone thinks they are right! I think Phillippine is right when she fight the oppressor and gained independence.
Then Chinese on the winner side in WWI, WWII, Korean War, First Indochina War, Vietnam War, Sino-Indian War, Sino-Soviet War, Battle of Paracel Islands, Third Indochina War, Soviet-Afghan War

@@anubizz3maybe he knows something that you don't. Like David vs Goliath...
There’s nothing to discuss with the agreement because the that area is ours. If the Chinese diplomat committed wiretapping he should go as simple as that.
That area belongs to the Chinese who have been fishing there for thousands of years. Much longer than the country of Philippines
@@ssss8162our ancestors have sailed that sea for 5000 years! China doesn’t even exist then! That sea belongs to no one!

Europe and Asia must not solely rely on a people who crave isolationism. Create defense agreements with each other, NATO does not bar members from forming defense agreements with non-NATO members, Georgia, Moldova, Mongolia...etc surround your enemies with your friends. If China attacks Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia are not safe. If China attacks India, the Republic of Korea, Mongolia, Pakistan Nepal, etc., are not safe. Yet none have reached out to help each other or form defense alliances with each other. Everyone looking to people on the other side of the world to protect the peace and security. Though we will help, your homelands will be the battlegrounds.
It's easier said than done.
Good job Amb. Romualdez,
Good interview and equally good responses...
Time for Germany to send troops to Philippines to show it’s loyalty
send to ukraine first
bro, dont forget the battle of yutong.
@@保护大天使孙笑川 wtf? noon pa yun.. tantanan nyo na.
Germany sent troops to foreign countries a couple of times before in 1914 and 1939. It ended up being occupied by a foreign military force now.
The Philippines were colonized by Spain for 333 years which is from 1565 to 1898. Then it was colonized by US for 48 from 1989-1946. Philippine became independence in 1946 after almost 400 years of continues colonization by the west/Europeans. What China ever did to the Philippines?
Taking it's islands in it's EEZ, sending spies to infiltrate the Government, destroying the local market by forcefully flooding the market with low quality Chinese goods.
How can they be colonized. Don't forget, the Battle of Yultong.
1898-1946
Sir Romualdes pls do not use the word"if China allow" it may turned the world believed that China is right of owning the west Phippine Sea, the word would be "If China behave and not trespassing" making destructions and not hurting civillians and Philippine Navy in our territory, it could resolve to peace and stability in South China sea and the west Philippine Sea✌️
The Philippines invaded the Chinese Islands
If there there is no hard copy of the agreeement, do not honor it.
China says “what you have is negotiable, what china have is not!”
Chinese officials said: there is a gentleman’s agreement between Philippines and China for the disputes in the South China Sea.
Philippines officials said: there were no such agreements. Otherwise, please provide us evidence that such agreements exist.
Chinese officials said: we will provide the recorded phone call to prove that such agreements exist.
Philippines officials said: it’s illegal to record the dialogue between Philippine officials and Chinese officials, it’s against our law. We will expel Chinese ambassador.
So how can anyone prove the agreements without breaking Philippines’ law?
Show the signed documents that proves such agreement. China can't present any such document because there was no agreement.
So phone call can seals a deal with out writen signature 😂
Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty
Article 2
It is recognized under Treaty of Peace with Japan signed at the city of San Francisco, Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan and Penghu as well as Spratly Islands and Paracel Islands.
Win WWIII to rewrite WWII order, not Talk bs
@@Naruto-u2k3n Not between a military official and a diplomat. Diplomatic relations must be conducted through diplomatic channels. The heads of state and Foreign Affairs officials are authorized for that, but not military officers.
@@lvjinbin28 Read it again. "Japan renounced its claims," it didn't surrender them to China. Before WW2, the Paracels were part of Vietnam and the Spratlys were part of the Philippines, so they were returned to them. Taiwan and the Pescadores were part of the ROC.
The Spratlys were originally part of the Philippines under Spain and were ceded to the US under the 1898 Treaty of Paris and the 1900 Treaty of Washington. In 1946, the Philippine Archipelago was surrendered to the Republic of the Philippines in the Treaty of Manila.
Legally, Professor Carty thoroughly explores the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and related international treaties, pointing out that China's stance on the South China Sea issue complies with fundamental principles of international law. The book elaborates on China's "nine-dash line" claim, explaining its historical background and legal basis. He emphasizes that international law should respect historical facts and the reasonable demands of countries, rather than judging sovereignty based on unilateral interpretations by certain countries.
A very well and astutely spoken ambassador indeed.
Peace: We need all the countries of the world to sign a memorandum of being satisfied with their current borders and a United Nations Court to sort out any disputes. We then need a VERY powerful United Nations Military to keep individual nations from bullying their neighbours … or any other nation!! Maybe establish a World President and a World Parliament with the member countries being “United” ? We just need a world system to prevent power hungry dictators from brainwashing their young populations to die fighting for their egos and power domination.
You do realize you have some members in the United Nations that want to destroy democracy and have little tolerance for other people's beliefs, religion and preference of thought.
Somehow you have to get rid of all the dictators in the world before you can have such a thing sadly most of those dictators have nuclear bombs
USA ❤Philippines but they need leadership that supports real change. The escalation is from China. Australia also needs new leadership. UK also. They are failing on military readiness and international responsibilities. Pro democracy transition for Asia. Peacefully.
Watch the Chinese oil Rig Baby. China GREED is legendary.
You should remind your government to look at the development more closely
The Philippines should think twice to not commit the same mistake like what Ukraine did. The US and its ally cannot back 3 different wars at the same time, its to costly for them.
You can not talk to anyone that thinks that might makes right.
Not 1 square inch of Philippines territories taken by any countries??? 9 US military war bases implemented and occupied in Philippines.
USA helped get rid of the Spanish and later on Japan . . .
And women 😂
Exactly, the double standards and hypocrisy.
It was already turned over to the Ph government. American only jas access to it. How funny can you be?
Do your research correctly. Those are EDCA Sites not just a US Bases but shared both The Philippines troops and US Troops and take note ,those edca sites are not lease nor given to the US. It's still under the Philippines ownership so there's no land/territories that is taken by the US unlike those in China who steal our Reefs,shoals and etc
Philippines should never do the mistake of Ukraine and go to war instead of Peice negotiations with China
sovereignty is non negotiable
what mistake? you think accepting being invaded is good negotiation? what peace negotiations are you talking about? russia never offered peace. russia has no business doing anything in ukraine. seriously what are you on about?
@@user-hb9rp4is2y Australia and new Zealand sold lands to China and no one talking about it but when USA want to destroy philippines to take control over the world then empty island is so important now?! Can you explain why it wasn't important since ww2 until today's date?

I would really like to retire to the Philippines in 5 or 6 years. Please dont start a war with china until i get there
Retiree from US can help the economy of the Philippines. for sure retiree have savings if they spend in the Philippines the country will earn. i hope the Philippine make this kind of program that can attract retiree from US.

Time for Beijing and the Philippine's government to discuss and resolve the territorial dispute based on international facts and international laws, not their interests and opinions. Conflict resolution and new, mutually respectful, fair and lawful agreements. It's good for the region and good for the world.

UNCLOS can’t solve a dispute which existed 50 years before UNCLOS was signed into law.

It’s interesting that the generation of Filipinos that Duarte represents, that were anti-American and asked the U.S. to leave the American Navy base in Subic Bay, are leaving the stage. They demonstrated to the younger generations that the fate of the Philippines was in their hands and blaming the Americans for their corrupt politics was pointless and did not serve them. It is not an accident that Philippines is much less prosperous than Malaysia and is about to be surpassed by Vietnam. The fact that America left Subic Bay when asked and now is being asked, no begged, to come back for Philippines own self interest is an ironic twist and really shows how much harm President Xi has caused to the people of China.
The tone and the way this lady interviews the Honorable Ambassador is somewhat not polite and disrespectful considering the stature of the interviewee. When she makes a follow up question she would say: "Because .....? " as if the person she is interviewing is a child or a person lesser of her stature, Very unrefined way to ask a question as a journalist. Instead of saying: "and why is that Mr. Ambassador?" DW News should send her for more training rather than earning as a correspondent.
I Like DW News
How
He speaks for the his master, not the Pinoys. Sovereignty? Is there any? Freed0m of navigation? There's always one. Continue to provoke with world policeman and not prepared to sit down and negotiate is not a sign of peace loving. The world is already in chaos in eastern Europe and the Middle East. Why is it so not spreading conflict to Asia?
The freedom of navigation is no issues for any vessel. You don't abide by the Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, signed in Phom Penh in 2002.

The exact number of all Filipinos with some Chinese ancestry is unknown. Various estimates have been given from the start of the Spanish Colonial Period up to the present ranging as large as 18-27%. The National Statistics Office does not conduct surveys of ethnicity.

February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy:
Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.
Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975.
It was written in U$ Foreign Policy document, to keep Asia poor and divided.
Yes, the West kept china so poor by investing in it.... 🤦♀️
An oral agreement is agreement according the law.
The Philippines must not stick to the US so much, look what happened to Japan its experienced a mega economic bubble during the 80s but The Us doesn't want to be surpassed so they lauched the plaza accord to destroy their economy until today,

Don't be distracted by your corrupt government and don't act as a minion to the United States, which will make your country cannon fodder!
ASEAN countries should sign Agreement on non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries with China. China is seeking leverage in ASEAN member countries. That might eventually change constituency or status of those countries.

Win WWIII to rewrite WWII order, remember ROC Taiwan still claims 11-dashline since 1947, PRC just copied ROC same claim after 1949
China's reliance on the ROC's outdated 1947 11-dash line is illegitimate and contravenes international law. China's aggressive actions in the Philippines' EEZ, including harassment of fishermen and illegal island-building, are blatant violations of UNCLOS. These acts of bullying and territorial infringement must be condemned. The Philippines' sovereign rights must be defended, and international law enforced to counter China's unlawful claims.
that's what WWII was about, to right the wrongs of WWI 😢
Except PRC isnt ROC, ROC still has Taiwan, and the 11 dash line is disputed by several countries and not recognized as border of PRC.
Paracel Islands are disputed by vietnam and Taiwan but controlled by PRC. Spratly Islands are both disputed and controlled by many different countries including PRC, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Malaysia, and Brunei

Other countries in South China Sea also has EEZ overlapping with China's 9-dash line. Malaysia for eg has many oil and gas platform within the EEZ overlapping with 9-dash line. Msia does not provoke China like the Phillipines, and situation is status quo. Philippines sunk a commissioned navy ship at the disputed shoal; with obvious motive to drag their Uncle Sam to confront China. Philippine action is a threat to regional security.

Factually and historically speaking, all those isles and atolls in South China Sea were never part of Philippines. When the Spanish transfer the colony to USA, and subsequently from USA to the independent government, those islands/isles and atolls were NEVER included.
And yes, there was never a "West Philippines Sea" quite literally until the recent months. Stop all the lies.

The 1900 Treaty of Washington included "all islands outside the lines" of the 1898 Treaty of Paris that were part of the Philippines under Spain to the territory ceded to the US. The US surrendered all these territories to the Republic of the Philippines in the Treaty of Manila in 1946.

@@SeaKrait571 You can't give what you don't own. That is a common logic. It's just like you don't own or have the right to give away that plot of land just beyond your picket fence. Even though it may looked empty and abandoned it still belonged to someone.
@@Black_Sun_Dark_Star Here's some common logic. China ratified UNCLOS, which was intended to supersede historical claims, but insists that it should retain its disproved historical claims.
Oh wait, that doesn't make sense.
During 2022, Philippines had a large net trade with China in the exports of Machines ($9.51B), Mineral Products ($2.42B), and Metals ($1.13B). During 2022, China had a large net trade with Philippines in the exports of Machines ($14.4B), Metals ($8.32B), and Textiles ($5.24B). AIPAC US is far away and is the cause of all troubles any country is facing. BRICS with China and Russia lead is the only Answer for Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.
So why are China infiltrating the Philippines and setting up criminal organizations
China only had empty promises when it dealt with the Philippines under Duterte. How many countries are indebted to China because of the Belt and Road Initiative?
