00:00It is possible to raise the alert level 4 in Lebanon

00:03even though the mandatory repatriation is needed

00:06amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

00:10And President Marcos, who is currently attending the ASEAN Summit,

00:13is preparing the various government agencies.

00:17From the Lao PDR in Silay, Ivan Mairina.

00:21Ivan?

00:24Pia, after the formal opening of the ASEAN Summit this morning,

00:29the President immediately raised an important issue

00:32for the government agencies to prepare

00:35in case our fellow countrymen in the Middle East are forced to leave.

00:49In the middle of more than a year of tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon,

00:54more than 2,000 were in the WIC, according to the Lebanese government.

00:58Most of them died within two weeks

01:01following the airstrikes in Beirut and other places.

01:05Amid his participation in the ASEAN Summit here in the Lao PDR,

01:09President Bongbong Marcos appealed to the DFA and the Defense Department

01:13to discuss preparations in case the Filipinos are forced to leave

01:16or have a mandatory evacuation in Lebanon.

01:19According to the Defense Department,

01:21a diplomatic clearance is waiting for repatriation.

01:24We are now going to evacuate our people by whatever means, by air or by sea.

01:30Let's make all the preparations so that all our assets are ready.

01:35As long as the embassy gives us the clearance,

01:40and they say that our people can go,

01:42we will be able to leave immediately

01:44so that they don't have to wait for a long time in dangerous areas.

01:50The President also attended the bilateral meeting of the Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Ching

01:54which is focused on improving the relationship between the Philippines and Vietnam

01:57in agriculture and trade.

01:59Vietnam is one of the main neighbors in the Philippines.

02:03But there is another clear difference like the two countries.

02:07Both have a part of the South China Sea that enters their exclusive economic zone

02:11that is occupied by China and has already arrived in its frontiers.

02:16There is an ongoing agreement on incident prevention between the Philippines and Vietnam,

02:20a mechanism to avoid tension between the five countries.

02:24But will a peace agreement be enough for the neighbors of the Philippines in ASEAN?

02:29Before taking his seat,

02:31President Marcos gave the importance of ASEAN's unity

02:35on important issues in the region,

02:37especially in Segalote in the South China Sea.

02:39For decades, a Code of Conduct has been pursued,

02:42but until now, it has not been completed.

02:44Pursuing a consensus or an agreement

02:47is still the theme of the Prime Minister of the Lao PDR

02:49in his speech in front of the leaders earlier.

02:53In the midst of a changing and changing situation,

02:55the position of the Philippines remains and continues to pursue international law.

03:15We will have a chance to get into more detail maybe in the next couple of days.

03:25Meanwhile, PIA keynote speaker tonight

03:28was President Bongbong Marcos at the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit.

03:32He praised the government's efforts to make the country business-friendly.

03:38And he particularly invited the leaders to invest in

03:42green metal, battery manufacturing, data centers, and agribusiness.

03:47And live from Vientiane, Lao PDR,
