00:24 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. left the country at 8 a.m. for his two-day state visit in Brunei.
00:32 Before his departure speech, the President spoke about the effects of the typhoon.
00:38 The President said that more than 12,000 families, or 26,000 individuals, were affected by the typhoon.
00:48 Most of them are from Region 5, 6, 7, and 8.
00:53 To help those affected by the typhoon, President Marcos ordered the DSWD, DA, and DOH to provide immediate assistance to those affected by the typhoon.
01:04 As of now, the President said that the DSWD has provided 1.35 million pesos of humanitarian assistance.
01:12 In addition, the government has a standby fund of about 607 million pesos.
01:19 President Marcos also urged the DPWH and DOTR to speed up the restoration efforts for those affected by the typhoon.
01:27 We were able to place relief goods near the area where we were expecting the typhoon to pass.
01:46 They are ready to help.
01:49 We were able to place our forces, our DSWD, our Coast Guard, our Search and Rescue, and all our assets there because we were prepared since the typhoon arrived.
02:08 Once in Brunei, the President will immediately meet with Sultan Hasanal Bolquilla.
02:13 He also expected to have meetings between the two countries that will be important in the President's visit.
02:19 On my trip to Brunei, I will fulfill my duty and promise to strengthen our friendship and help our country and other countries like Brunei Darussalam.
02:34 The President will also have a meeting with business leaders in Brunei where President Marcos is expected to revive the good business climate of the Philippines.
02:45 Brunei has always been an important partner when it comes to defense cooperation with the Philippines.
02:51 So during my trip, I will discuss with His Majesty ways for further cooperation with Brunei in ensuring the defense of our countries and of our region.
03:00 Aside from this, President Marcos will personally visit the Filipino communities in Brunei where the President will lay out the reforms that the administration is doing to improve the condition of OFWs.
03:15 From Brunei, President Marcos will head to Singapore for the 21st International Institute for Strategic Studies Dialogue.
03:24 This is a good opportunity to promote the position of the Philippines in terms of security and defense in a region that will be visited by more than 40 countries.
03:35 President Marcos will also be assisting the President in his position last week.
03:45 The Shangri-La Dialogue is a very important dialogue because it is a dialogue about security and defense concerns amongst several foreign ministers, defense ministers.
03:57 And I think it is extremely timely that I attend and put forward, articulate the Philippines' perspective and outlook on defense and diplomacy.
04:11 While we continue to highlight the Philippines' commitment to a rules-based international order and constructive multilateralism amidst the current geopolitical challenges that we face in our region.
04:25 President Marcos will be the first President of the Philippines to give a keynote address at the so-called Defense Summit.
