00:00 In the continuation of the 43rd ASEAN Summit,
00:04 it is expected that the issue will be discussed is the South China Sea.
00:08 Aside from the ASEAN leaders,
00:09 the leaders of President Bongbong Marcos are also expected to be there, Japan and America.
00:14 Live from Indonesia, we have our first reporter, Ivan Mayrina.
00:18 Ivan.
00:20 Good morning, Igan.
00:25 President Bongbong Marcos is expected to maintain peace in the South China Sea
00:30 on the first day of the 43rd ASEAN Summit here in Jakarta, Indonesia.
00:34 We do not seek conflict.
00:39 But it is our duty as citizens and as leaders
00:44 to always rise to meet any challenge to our sovereignty,
00:48 to our sovereign rights, and our maritime jurisdictions in the South China Sea.
00:54 No country would expect any less.
00:56 No country would do any less.
00:59 We must never allow the international peaceful order
01:04 to be subjected to the forces of might applied for a hegemonic ambition.
01:09 The future of peace rests now on how we, together, face this challenge to that peace.
01:22 Meanwhile, the issue in the South China Sea is still hot.
01:25 One of the most anticipated and first issues of President Marcos is the ASEAN-China Summit
01:30 where the issue of territorial disputes is discussed.
01:33 Aside from the Philippines, there are also territorial claims of Malaysia and Vietnam in the region.
01:38 They are also concerned about China's commitment to the South China Sea
01:43 as they have shown in their 10-dash line map.
01:46 Chinese Premier Li Qiang has been appointed by China for this ASEAN Summit.
01:52 Meanwhile, the next ASEAN-China Summit is followed by other islands
01:56 such as the ASEAN-Republic of Korea Summit, ASEAN-Japan Summit, and ASEAN+3
02:01 where the 10 ASEAN Member States are China, Japan, and South Korea.
02:06 The ASEAN-US and ASEAN-Canada will follow before the annual Gala Dinner
02:11 organized by the host country for world leaders.
02:15 Meanwhile, the Philippines, Japan, and America are also holding a trilateral meeting.
02:20 Last night, US Vice President Kamala Harris came to Indonesia.
02:25 For Japan, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was also there.
02:29 The President also invited Philippine Ambassador to the US, Babe Romualdez, for this meeting.
02:37 Obviously, the importance of that meeting is because of the fact that we've had discussions
02:44 with both Japan and the United States on many issues surrounding our area,
02:50 our territorial waters, and of course the South China Sea.
02:55 But as I said, the economic cooperation between our three countries,
03:02 between the two countries with the Philippines, is also very important for us.
03:11 Romualdez also announced last night that some trips to the next months are already scheduled
03:17 and that includes the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation APEC Summit
03:21 that will be held in San Francisco, America.
03:23 Aside from that, there are also scheduled trips to Los Angeles or even Seattle
03:27 and the President is expected to visit Honolulu, Hawaii where there is a large Filipino community.
03:37 Aside from the assistance from world leaders, the President also talked to the Asian Business Advisory Council
03:43 where some infrastructure projects in the country will be presented
03:48 and he also invited businessmen to lead on these projects.
03:52 And as for the President's assistance in his intervention or message to the Asian plenary,
03:58 food security, facing climate change, and giving equal opportunities for more people.
04:06 That's the latest from Jakarta, Indonesia.
04:09 Back to you, Igan.
04:10 Thank you very much, Ban Mayrin.
04:14 Igan, you're up first in the news.
