00:00 At the same time, the day of the fishermen was celebrated by House Speaker Martin Romualdez
00:08 who will not let the Filipinos go, especially in the West Philippine Sea.
00:14 While this coalition has a call to the public,
00:19 that is the surprise of Mela Las Moras.
00:23 House Speaker Martin Romualdez, under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.
00:30 promised to give the protection of the government to the Filipino fishermen
00:34 against the Chinese bullying.
00:37 Romualdez said this along with the National Fisherfolks Day
00:42 which is a time when there are different challenges in the West Philippine Sea
00:46 which is one of the main fishing routes of our countrymen.
00:50 According to the House Speaker, the President will do everything to take care of our fishermen
00:56 who are just looking for a living in our exclusive economic zone.
01:00 Although China warned that they will catch foreign trespassers in their territories,
01:06 Romualdez insisted that the government will not be silent,
01:10 especially the Chinese who are entering our maritime waters.
01:15 As part of this occasion, Gabriella Partilis and Act Teachers Partilis
01:21 joined a collective fishing expedition in the WPS.
01:25 Gabriella Partilis' representative Arlene Brosas said
01:28 that they are united in the fight of fishermen against China
01:31 and part of their activity is to defend our rights.
01:36 In a press conference, the Ateneto Coalition called for the joint support
01:41 of the Filipino people for our fishermen.
01:45 They want peace, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
01:48 to happen in the West Philippine Sea.
01:51 You are fishermen, you are fishermen.
01:53 That is our water.
01:55 All that can support you, repair their boats,
01:59 look for new motorbikes to buy,
02:02 we should now really emphasize the rich resource of our waters.
02:09 We in the civil society, not only as activists but as consumers,
02:15 people in media, let's help create an awareness.
02:20 We do not look at our fishermen as objects of pity.
02:24 Solidarity means not only pity and help,
02:27 but there is a lot of potential and importance there.
02:30 But they need support to overcome the barrier.
02:34 The Ateneto Coalition is now planning a new mission in the West Philippine Sea.
02:40 But they are still waiting for the details.
