00:00 President Bongbong Marcos returned home after his two-day state visit in Vietnam.
00:05 He signed several agreements there, including the rice trade and maritime cooperation.
00:10 The President insisted that the unity is still strong among his political allies.
00:16 Here is my first news.
00:18 Despite the accusations made by former President Rodrigo Duterte against President Bongbong Marcos,
00:26 nothing changed in their relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:30 It's exactly the same because she hasn't said anything of that nature.
00:35 She doesn't say anything of that kind so nothing changed.
00:44 He also has no plans to replace VP Sara as Education Secretary.
00:48 And their unity team, which won the highest position in the country, is still alive.
00:55 Unity is not just one party or two parties or three parties.
01:00 It's the unification of all political, hopefully all the political forces in the Philippines
01:08 to come together for the good of the country.
01:11 And that is still there, it is still vibrant, it is still working.
01:16 And we will continue on that basis.
01:19 The President gave a gift while in Vietnam for a state visit.
01:23 He was accompanied by Vietnamese President Vo Van Tho.
01:26 Next, several agreements were reached between the two countries,
01:30 including incident prevention and management in the South China Sea,
01:33 where Vietnam is also a claimant.
01:36 It is argued that cooperation and dialogue should be strengthened
01:38 to avoid increasing tensions in the South China Sea.
01:41 The Philippine Coast Guard and Vietnam Coast Guard also reached an agreement
01:44 for maritime cooperation.
01:46 The two countries will help in forming a joint committee
01:50 for the coordination and cooperation to enhance the capabilities of the two countries.
01:54 The PCG and VCG will also have a hotline mechanism.
01:58 As a step forward in food security,
02:00 the Rice Trade Cooperation Agreement was also reached
02:03 that will provide a continuous and stable supply of rice for the Philippines.
02:07 Under this, Vietnam promised to supply 1.5 to 2 million metric tons of rice every year
02:13 at an affordable price.
02:15 The President also attended the state banquet before he left for the Philippines.
