00:00How many countries in Asia will be joining the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

00:05or ASEAN Summit in the Lao People's Democratic Republic today?

00:09While at the ASEAN Summit,

00:11President Bongbong Marcos will also focus on the Filipino struggle in Lebanon

00:15in the midst of the ongoing war between Hezbollah and Israel.

00:18Live from the Lao PDR, we are joined by Ivan Mayrina. Ivan?

00:23Yes, good morning Susan. From here in Vientiane, in the Lao PDR, it is now 6.06 in the morning.

00:34We are one hour behind compared to the time in the Philippines.

00:38And the news, Susan, is that the events at the first day of the ASEAN Summit yesterday

00:43when the President suddenly called for a meeting with the government agencies

00:48to tell them to be prepared in case there is a mandatory or forced evacuation

00:56of our countrymen who are caught up in the Middle East.

01:00So the President's order was to give or pour all the resources to the government

01:05to guarantee the evacuation of our countrymen who are caught up in the Middle East.

01:10The President's order was made after the opening ceremony of the ASEAN Summit yesterday.

01:24This morning, the Migrant Worker Secretary Hans Kakdak returned to the Philippines

01:29to issue the President's order for repatriation.

01:32According to the government, we do not yet have a mandatory or forced repatriation

01:37but it is up to the officials of our embassy in Lebanon to raise the alert level 4

01:43if the situation continues to escalate.

01:45Meanwhile, we will highlight two things after the first day of the ASEAN Summit.

01:49First, the President's commitment to the importance of adhering to international law

01:54and UNCLOS in the negotiation of the SIGALOT in the South China Sea

01:57where not only the Philippines is affected but also the other ASEAN members.

02:03In an exclusive interview yesterday, the President said that in the continuation of the meetings today,

02:08he will detail the position of the Philippines in the negotiations.

02:11The ASEAN meetings will take place today with the so-called Dialogue Partners

02:16including China, India, Canada, and South Korea.

02:20According to our sources, the East Asia Summit is a long-awaited event.

02:24Because of that, the leaders there, including President Marcos, will be more courageous regarding the issue.

02:31Today is also the ASEAN-China Summit.

02:34In fact, that is the first of the schedules this morning.

02:37China is one of the biggest trading partners of ASEAN

02:40and has a big influence not only in each ASEAN member state but in ASEAN as a regional bloc.

02:48Second, among the highlights of ASEAN yesterday, the President's commitment to the country

02:52as an investment destination to participate in the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit.

02:57He also asked the government to support him to make the country business-friendly.

03:01In particular, he helped to build Green Metal, Battery Manufacturing Data Centers, and Agri-Business.

03:10So those were the highlights of the first day of the ASEAN Summit yesterday here in Bienshan.

03:19Ivan, in the ASEAN-China Summit later,

03:21will the Code of Conduct be discussed and approved here in the South China Sea?

03:31The discussion, Susan, I'm sure it will be discussed and will be brought up by the countries.

03:36At the very least, the Philippines will surely raise that issue.

03:40But if it will be approved, that is the big question because I read earlier,

03:44in 1992, the South China Sea Code of Conduct was pushed by ASEAN and China.

03:52But what is it now, 2024?

03:54Until now, it's still being discussed, Susan, because there are people who are interested in supporting that Code of Conduct.

04:02The big question is, if there will be an agreement, will it be followed?

04:07Because in 2002, there was a Declaration of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.

04:12You can see now, one of our neighbors is being bullied by other countries in the South China Sea, Susan.

04:21Ivan, I will just go back to the President's order that our fellow countrymen in the Middle East should be targeted.

04:27Did you talk to the DFA and did they say that they will raise the alert level 4 in Lebanon?

04:32The raising of alert level 4, Susan, depends on our people on the ground.

04:43That means our ambassador, he will be the one to give the recommendation.

04:48Because there are two things that Susan is looking at to raise alert level 4.

04:52This is the wide-ranging internal conflict and the full-blown external attack that is being called in one country.

04:58Now, those two will be the basis of the decision and of course, the assessment of our embassy if the alert level 4 should be declared.

05:12But Susan, we also need to look at the list of people who want to return to the Philippines, which is around 2,000.

05:22That's a small percentage, Susan, in the actual number of our fellow countrymen in Lebanon, which is 11,000 to 12,000.

05:28That means there are still a lot of our fellow countrymen who are holding out.

05:33They still don't want to leave because they are saying that when our fellow countrymen are in Lebanon,

05:39we are used to the conflict. It will be chaotic but we will go back to the past.

05:43What they are worried about is that when they return to the Philippines, they might not be able to return to Lebanon.

05:49Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina live from Lao People's Democratic Republic.

05:58Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina live from Lao People's Democratic Republic.

06:28Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina live from Lao People's Democratic Republic.

06:30Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina live from Lao People's Democratic Republic.

06:58Thank you very much, Ivan Mayrina live from Lao People's Democratic Republic.
