He affirmed that the Philippines will continue to work with its neighbors to secure the safety and security of the Filipino people.
“And that I think is the better recourse than to go directly to the Mutual Defense Treaty, which again I am very much concerned, would provoke the tensions rather than cool the tensions down,” the President stressed.
He said he has already talked with the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines and reminded him that with the bilateral ties between the two countries, incursion on maritime territories and aggressive acts should not be the topic of talks between China and the Philippines.
At the Alumni Homecoming program, the President led the awarding of the PMA Alumni Association Inc. Lifetime Achievement and Cavalier Award, and Cavaliers Pandemic Heroes Award, and the ceremonial pinning of medals to Diamond (60 years), Golden and Silver jubilarians. (JDP/CCD-PIA CAR)
