00:00You see what's happening to us is we are being divided online, it's very polarized, and yet
00:12it's Filipinos and Filipinos fighting each other.
00:15It is not good for our country to see our countrymen being divided by hate speech, by
00:23pornography, that's very easily accessed by our generation.
00:31You know I was talking to the West Philippine Sea earlier about communicating the West Philippine
00:36Sea issue to our countrymen.
00:39I said never again, never again that the Philippines will lose any part of our country, just like
00:47what happened in Sabah.
00:50In the Sabah issue in the 1960s, if you look at it, Sabah was owned by the Royal Sultanate
00:54of Sulu for a long time.
00:56The Malaysians were paying rent to the Philippines.
01:01We tried to get it and claim it as our own.
01:06But what did the Malaysians do to us?
01:09They pitted Filipinos against Filipinos.
01:14They supported a Muslim secessionist movement in the South using religion and race against
01:22each other.
01:23Filipino Christians, Filipino Muslims fighting each other.
01:27So eventually, because they divided us and eventually conquered part of our territory,
01:34we lost Sabah.
01:37And imagine if Sabah is as rich as Mindanao, even probably richer than Mindanao.
01:45The Petronas Towers were built because of the minerals and properties of Sabah.
01:49It's happening again.
01:52This is happening, but now a foreign actor using fake news to destroy each other.
