00:00 The President insisted that the country should be in a state of emergency if the sovereignty and rights of the Philippines are being taken away.

00:06 In line with the country's independent foreign policy,

00:09 the country's position is being put in the hands of China

00:12 in a forum where the President visited Australia.

00:15 Ian Cruz was there live.

00:18 Ian.

00:19 Emil, it's 10.40 p.m. here in Melbourne, Australia.

00:26 Yesterday, the President did a lot of things,

00:30 like showing his support to the Filipino community,

00:32 attending a bilateral meeting and forums.

00:35 At a forum held by a think tank here in Australia,

00:38 the President said that the Philippines does not follow the likes of the United States.

00:43 He is doing his mandate as the President of the Philippines.

00:51 In his speech at the forum organized by the think tank Lowy Institute in Australia,

00:57 President Marcos laid out the position of the Philippines

01:00 when it comes to its relationship with China.

01:03 Our independent foreign policy compels us to cooperate with them on matters where our interests align,

01:10 to respectfully disagree on areas where our views differ,

01:16 and to push back when our sworn principles such as our sovereignty,

01:21 our sovereign rights, and our jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea are questioned or ignored.

01:28 Marcos was also asked here why he changed his position on facing China

01:34 compared to the previous administration.

01:36 We must defend the territory of the Republic.

01:40 And that is a primordial duty of a leader.

01:45 The territorial integrity of the Philippines cannot be threatened.

01:50 And if threats are made, then we must defend against those threats.

01:57 And for me, it is almost, as I said, it wasn't a matter of policy choice.

02:08 It is the duty that I took on.

02:12 But Marcos insisted that the Philippines does not follow the likes of America.

02:17 Let me make it very, very clear.

02:19 The Philippines acts for its own interests.

02:23 And the decisions that we make when it comes to foreign policy

02:28 are decisions that we make because we believe and are convinced

02:32 and know that it is in the national interest.

02:36 It is not a policy that has been foisted upon us by any country.

02:43 The President also attended the Philippine Business Forum

02:46 where the President encouraged businessmen from Australia to invest in the country.

02:52 There was also a presentation of 14 business agreements between the Philippines and Australia.

02:57 Secretary Alfredo Pascual said that the investment of Australian business in the Philippines is worth 1.53 billion US dollars.

03:07 Earlier this morning, the President and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet had a bilateral meeting.

03:13 As part of the agreement, the strengthening of agriculture, particularly rice, was also discussed.

03:21 Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, along with Australian Foreign Affairs Secretary Penny Wong,

03:29 were at the Maritime Cooperation Forum on the sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit.

03:33 She urged the following of the Ruloc Law on the resolution of the Sigalot in the South China Sea.

03:38 At a presentation, Manalo defended the government's actions against the public

03:44 regarding what is happening in the West Philippine Sea.

03:46 If you would stop harassing us and perhaps performing other actions, there wouldn't be any news to report.

03:57 Emil Bandang, at 8 p.m. here and 5 p.m. in the Philippines,

04:02 where President Bongbong Marcos will meet the Filipino community here in Australia.

04:08 The President encouraged them in their contribution here in Australia and in the Philippines.

04:13 Tomorrow, the President is expected to have a bilateral meeting.

04:16 He will also bring the leaders of ASEAN to the arrival welcome here at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre here in our Likuranian.

04:25 From Melbourne, Australia, for GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
