The Philippines, deeply familiar with the atrocities brought about by war between and
00:08
amongst nations, has always chosen the path of peace.
00:13
And I can assure all of you that we will continue to do so.
00:18
Through diplomacy, dialogue, and cooperation, we have successfully maintained a region that
00:23
is peaceful, stable, and prosperous.
00:26
We have and will continue to work with partners in the international community in building
00:31
bridges, forging solutions, preserving our global commons.
00:36
The Philippines will always make a stand, and will always stand for what is right.
00:41
In a world where the only thing that appears to be constant is change, we are thus gratified
00:46
by our enduring alliance, our partnership, and friendship with the United States.
00:52
Especially towards advancing our common agenda of peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
00:58
In peace and in war, through natural disasters and pandemics, Philippine-U.S. relations are
01:04
firmly anchored on the values and principles that we cherish – peace, democracy, fairness,
01:12
social progress, and justice.
01:15
Our two nations are committed to the preservation and enhancement of national security, the
01:19
attainment of economic prosperity, and the promotion of the rights and well-being of
01:23
our peoples.
01:25
Whether we gather, as we do today, to remember the liberation of Manila some 80 years ago,
01:32
or during joint military exercises, as our armed forces will in a few weeks' time,
01:37
for Balikatan, there is no doubt that our relationship is robust, with our two countries
01:43
continuing to work together to address common challenges.
01:48
Let me end by noting that the Battle of Manila offers a lot of lessons and represents a great
01:54
many opportunities.
01:56
I am pleased to see many of the embassies joining us in this important event.
02:00
I am sure that you will gain a better understanding of our country and our people in learning
02:06
about our past.
02:09
We are proud of our history, and even prouder of the relationships and alliance that we
02:13
have built over the many years, bound by our shared history and our common commitment
02:20
to a region governed by rules, not by might, where the rights of countries, large or small,
02:26
are respected.
02:27
The Philippines recognizes challenges that lie ahead and is assured that we can continue
02:33
to count on the help of friends, as we have done so over the last 80 years.
02:40
Our shared experience, fighting side-by-side 80 years ago, continues to provide meaning
02:46
and focus for the modern U.S.-Philippine alliance.
02:50
Our bilateral ties are stronger than ever, as we work together today to address shared
02:56
challenges ranging from maritime security and disaster response, to complex 21st century
03:03
concerns such as those that we encounter in space and cyber.
