00:22 the peace in the region and following United Nations Conventions of the Law of the Sea.
00:28 He was also productive in his assistance to the Australian officials, where the cooperation

00:45 partnership.

01:26 to suspend and not continue the ban on the contribution of PhilHealth.

01:38 contribution was based on the time when the COVID-19 pandemic did not yet hit and because
01:44 the country is slowly recovering from the pandemic, Hercito urged the President not to
