00:00 President Bumbong Marcos is expected to meet with some high-ranking officials in Vietnam
00:05 on the second day of his state visit there.
00:08 Before that, he already met with some of our businessmen and fellow citizens in Hanoi.
00:13 And live from Vietnam, we have the first news.
00:16 We have with us Ivan Myrina.
00:18 Ivan, will there be a time frame for the creation of a separate code of conduct
00:24 for the West Philippine Sea or South China Sea?
00:27 Yes, good morning, Marisa.
00:30 It is 6.15 in the morning.
00:32 The sun hasn't set yet.
00:34 The sun will set at 6.34 and the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius.
00:40 And when President Bumbong Marcos arrived here yesterday,
00:43 he immediately attended a business meeting.
00:46 And after that, he met with the Filipino community here in Hanoi, Vietnam.
00:54 The company Vinfast, a subsidiary of the largest private company in Vietnam,
01:02 is planning to build a battery manufacturing facility and enter the Philippines with electric vehicles.
01:08 President Marcos was very excited when he arrived here yesterday at 3 in the afternoon in Hanoi.
01:13 This is just the first of the other business meetings that coincide with his two-day state visit
01:18 to encourage the population in the Philippines.
01:21 Another coincidence is that the Prime Minister and some businessmen were together.
01:26 After that, the President visited the Filipino community here in Vietnam.
01:31 There are 7,000 Filipinos in Vietnam, Marisa, most of whom are professionals.
01:35 The President explained to the Filipino community that maritime cooperation or the coordination in Vietnam
01:41 is one of his main goals in this state visit.
01:44 Vietnam is one of the claimant countries in the South China Sea
01:48 and the Philippines is pushing for the separation of the Code of Conduct here
01:52 while the Code of Conduct between ASEAN and China is not yet completed.
01:58 Regarding your question Marisa, we cannot say if there is a time frame for the completion of the Code of Conduct,
02:03 even though it is one of the expected outcomes today.
02:10 We need to coordinate with our neighbor Vietnam so that the South China Sea can be peaceful.
02:23 We know that a lot is happening there.
02:25 It is better if we have a discussion so that there will be no chaos.
02:33 ... migrant workers, the newest department was built.
02:38 The next meeting of President Marcos with the President of Vietnam
02:44 and also with the Prime Minister and National Assembly Chairman is happening today.
02:47 Another important meeting is expected to be signed by the Five-Year Rice Supply Agreement
02:52 which ensures that we can still get rice despite the changing situation of supply and price worldwide.
02:58 70% of the rice imported from the Philippines is from Vietnam.
03:02 Meanwhile Maris, the President has not yet made a statement regarding the controversies he left in the Philippines.
03:08 But later, we will have a chance to ask him about some important issues,
03:13 particularly his position on the so-called charter change.
03:19 That is the latest from Hanoi, Vietnam. Back to you Maris.
03:23 Come on. Thank you very much Ivan Mayrina.
