Our President Benigno S. Aquino III presented his speech about the policies as well as the objectives as to our region and how our country will play with his administration, on the 43rd ASEAN Foundation Day. The speech is a demonstration our country’s commitment to a successful ASEAN. The conversion of the Charter into our very own Filipino language is an important move for our nation’s consciousness of self-identity as people of the Philippines which includes how it is important for us to have understanding and collaboration in order to fulfill same set of goals for a better country.
During his opening address, he stated that our country will achieve its international obligations without the expense of our national interest, It can also be found in his speech that the Philippines will continue to take part in negotiations on concerns in the country, and stand by the declaration on the ASEAN’s Code of Conduct in the South China Sea. Also, the Philippines plan to contribute in economic collaboration for development. These agreements I believe should upturn our country’s employment service and for market expansion as well for our goods. He said that the most effective instrument of peace and mutual understanding is culture and the arts wherein we can foster it by promoting these aspects.
It was nice having that idea in mind but I am hoping that his words will put into action. On the other hand, He specified on his speech that there will be a more committed administration in order to advance and develop its relations with our ASEAN neighboring countries, wherein the Philippines was said to be more productive and will be a consensus-builder as our state works toward a define set of goals. He also stressed that the ASEAN Charter preserves the growth of our respective nations into nation- states that are devoted to human rights, the rule of law and harmony between different regions and classes by the promotion of economic development and environment cultivation. A creation of People- oriented regional community by the year 2015 is one of the primary aims of the ASEAN through which will be guided by these three key pillars where it includes Economic, Socio- Cultural and Political Security, As I can see this year will be a year before his term ends and again, I just hope for a better Philippines before he leaves especially now, that our country is suffering from what just happened on the hostage scenario by Rolando Mendoza, it definitely shakes our economy down, maybe our country can move on with this incident but certainly not on its impacts.
