00:00I'm not here, so I'm here to make the dialogue and competition about the South

00:14House issue. And Senator and my friend Dr. Romeo has mentioned that we should

00:21peaceful dispute. I'm not as ambitious as them. I think we can manage peaceful dispute.

00:40I think it's a possible future. The American dispute, because it's related to sovereignty

00:47and American imitation, is very difficult to resolve, I think, in the near part. It is

00:56not just the phenomenon, the reality of the Southeast Asia, it is also the reality of the world.

01:04We would say a lot of American disputes in the world, which are very difficult to resolve.

01:12Especially in South China say disputes related to at least five parties.

01:19So, I think, sometimes I say that in our lifetime, we will not see the resolution resolve of the disputes.

01:35No party can persuade and converse other parties to give up its own maritime claims.

01:44So, I think that I'm confident that we can peacefully manage disputes. We know that our

01:54China-Philippines relationship has had some difficulties because of South Arts issues.

02:01But even that, in the last year, China and the Philippines have used the diplomatic channels to calm down the situation of

02:11the Skava shore and the Skava shore and the Skava shore and the Skava shore.

02:16So, you will say that even the situation is a little tense, but the democracy makes sense.

02:26It really has been a magnet for truth, a magnet for clear, concise, understandable explanations to many national issues.

02:40So, thank you Wilson for today and for all the forums that we've had with you and forums still coming up.

02:47Also, I'd like to thank Professor Dallawi, who has been very successful and objectively

02:54bringing across to our people the facts, the figures, realities, necessities, developments in the South China Sea

03:04and many other parts of the world related to peace. This is a very important element.

03:11And I'd like to also welcome our Chinese professors and academicians because this is also part of the process of enlightenment.

03:23We cannot be guided only by emotion, by propaganda and by akala.

03:30It is very dangerous to be guided by akala and sa tingin ko, sa tingin ko.

03:36It's more important to be guided by the facts, to be guided by the facts and the realities, to be guided by history and to learn from lessons, to learn our lessons from history.
