00:00In the middle of the activities of President Bongbong Marcos for the ASEAN Summit,

00:05he also helped some officials for the mandatory evacuation of Filipinos in Lebanon.

00:12That is a very big problem.

00:15From the Lao People's Democratic Republic,

00:19Ivan Mayrin is live. Ivan?

00:22Yes, well, in the formal opening of the ASEAN Summit today,

00:29President Bongbong Marcos immediately emphasized the importance of following the international law

00:34on the issue of the Segalote in the South China Sea,

00:36where not only the Philippines is affected,

00:39but other member states of ASEAN as well.

00:42Meanwhile, while he was in retirement,

00:44he helped government agencies to order the evacuation of Filipinos

00:48who are in trouble in Lebanon.

00:57In the middle of his participation in the ASEAN Summit here in Laos,

01:00the President asked for this help to the officials of the BFA and Defense Department.

01:05This is to talk about the preparation in case they need to force the evacuation

01:09or mandatory evacuation of Filipinos who are in trouble in Lebanon

01:13in the middle of the Israeli missile attacks.

01:16Alert Level 3 is still in effect in Lebanon,

01:19but if the situation worsens,

01:20it may be raised to Alert Level 4

01:22when the mandatory evacuation will be carried out.

01:26We are now going to evacuate our people by whatever means, by air or by sea.

01:32And let's make all the preparations so that all our assets are near.

01:37The embassy gives us the all clear,

01:41and they say that our people can go.

01:44We can go out immediately.

01:45They are not waiting for a long time in a dangerous area.

01:52The President also attended the bilateral meeting of the Vietnam Prime Minister Pham Minh Ching

01:56which is focused on improving the relationship between the Philippines and Vietnam

01:59in agriculture and agriculture.

02:01Vietnam is one of the first countries to import rice from the Philippines.

02:06But there is also a clear difference between the two countries.

02:09Both have a part of the South China Sea

02:11that is part of their Exclusive Economic Zone

02:14that is owned by China and is already involved in its harassment.

02:18There is an ongoing agreement on incident prevention between the Philippines and Vietnam,

02:23a mechanism to avoid tension in climate countries.

02:28But will the one-on-one agreement be enough for the Philippines' neighbors in ASEAN?

02:32Before taking office, President Bongbong Marcos gave the importance of ASEAN

02:39to important issues in the region, especially in the South China Sea

02:43that is owned by China and is becoming more aggressive

02:46because of the claim of the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, and Indonesia

02:50as ASEAN member states.

02:52A decade of building a code of conduct has been pushed forward,

02:56but so far it has not been completed.

02:58The push for consensus on the agreement

03:00is still the theme of the Prime Minister of the Lao PDR

03:03in his speech in front of fellow leaders earlier.

03:07In the midst of a changing and escalating situation,

03:09the position of the Philippines remains

03:11and continues to pursue international law,

03:14something that the President did today in his intervention.

03:18I didn't specify the details,

03:20but that's the general principle of the adherence to the rule of law

03:27and the UNCLOS.

03:30Just as a general thing,

03:33we will have a chance to get into more detail maybe in the next couple of days.

03:43Mel, the President is referring to the next couple of days

03:47between ASEAN and the so-called dialogue partners,

03:52including China, America, India, and New Zealand.

03:56Meanwhile, Mel, the President just finished

03:59ASEAN Business and Investment Summit

04:01where he invited leaders to invest in the field of green metal,

04:06battery manufacturing, data centers, and agribusiness.

04:10Mel.

04:11Ivan, thank you.

04:13But let's go back to the President's order

04:15to prepare for the possible mandatory evacuation in Lebanon.

04:19What will be the trigger of the government

04:22to raise the alert level 4?

04:24What is the situation there that our government is waiting for?

04:28Ivan.

04:32Mel, the definition of alert level,

04:35the conditions to raise alert level 4

04:38is the so-called large-scale internal conflict

04:41or the widespread chaos within the country,

04:44or an external attack from outside the country.

04:48And Mel, that judgment, that decision,

04:52will come from the people on the ground,

04:56meaning the embassy and the DFA.

04:59They will decide if it's time to raise the alert level 4

05:03and enforce the forced evacuation, Mel.

05:06But the President said that everything is ready

05:11for the mandatory evacuation he wants.

05:15Ivan.

05:19Yes, Mel.

05:20That is the reason why even though he is here,

05:24he called for an emergency meeting

05:27with the Department of National Defense,

05:30the Department of Foreign Affairs,

05:32and the Department of Migrant Workers

05:34because he wants to be prepared

05:36if our countrymen who are trapped there need to be evacuated quickly.

05:41He said, by any means necessary.

05:44He wants to deploy all government resources

05:48to get our countrymen trapped in Lebanon.

05:52Thank you very much, Ivan Meirina.
