00:43The bilateral meeting of the two leaders has not yet become commonplace

00:46because after their preliminary discussions on cooperation and strengthening relations,

00:51they went to discuss the success of Carlos Yulo in the past Olympics.

00:57Mr. Yulo's two golds is the only athlete from Southeast Asia, from an ASEAN nation,

01:06who's had two Olympic golds ever in any sport.

01:09So it's a real milestone.

01:11It's a real milestone for all of us.

01:13I mean, we shine a bit of the reflected glory of the Philippines.

01:18That's what I was telling everyone.

01:20Tonight, it's not about us.

01:22We're just reflected glory over here and trying to be part of the achievements of our athletes.

01:30We are very, very proud.

01:32The welcome that people gave was really overwhelming.

01:36Just this past May, President Marcos came to Singapore for a working visit.

01:41He also spoke to President Tarman and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

01:46In his keynote address in Shangri-La Dialogue there,

01:50the President reiterated the position of the Philippines

01:52that we cannot be defeated in the South China Sea.

01:55This July, the two countries passed the Memorandum of Understanding on Defense Cooperation.

02:00Tonight, the two other agreements were formally passed.

02:03One of them is for the implementation of regulations on the recruitment of healthcare workers

02:07and the care for their health.

02:09And another is a memorandum on giving incentives to industries

02:12to reduce their carbon footprints and take care of the environment.

02:16Some other agreements are being made between private sectors and NGOs in Singapore

02:21and local governments here in the Philippines.

02:24Again, the two leaders mentioned their shared position on the South China Sea.

02:30I look forward to the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to maintain

02:34and to promote peace, security and stability in the region

02:38as well as our strong support for the peaceful resolution of any such disputes.

02:44The South China Sea is an extremely important issue.

02:47Singapore's position, of course, is well known.

02:49We've consistently upheld the rights of all states to freedom of navigation and overflight

02:56and strongly supported the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law

03:03including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS.

03:10Last night, a state banquet was prepared by the Palacio for the Singapore delegation

03:16where several other negotiators will also be attending.
