The Philippines maintains an independent foreign policy by being a “friend to all” and “an enemy to none,” President Marcos said during his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, July 28.
00:00Now, we're going to say that we're going to say that we're going to do with the whole world in the Philippines.
00:06Because we're going to be able to do this in different ways, we're going to be able to do this in different ways.
00:12We're going to be able to do this in our own way and to our own way of peace and peace and peace and peace.
00:19We're going to be able to do this in our own way, because we're going to be able to do this in our own way of peace and peace and peace and peace and peace and peace.
00:49Nagpapasensya, lalo na sa pagtanod sa ating buong kapuluan at sa pangangalaga sa ating interest.
00:57Subalit ngayon, mas pataas pa ang ating kumpiyansa dahil mas marami na tayong mga kasangga na magiging kabalikat natin sa oras ng matinding pangangailangan.
01:09Then as now, our foreign policy remains the same.
01:14The Philippines is a friend to all.
01:16The Philippines is an enemy to none.
01:19That will be our main focus as we, the Philippines, host the ASEAN Summit in 2026.
01:26Para sa ating mga Pilipino, malayo man, malapit din, kasing sidhi ang paglingap natin sa ating mga kababayang nasa ibang bansa, lalo na ang nasa panganib at nagdadaan sa matinding pagsubok.
01:47Hindi po biro at sadyang mapanganib ang hanap buhay ng ating tripulante.
01:53Ang trahedya na sinapit nila sa kamay ng mga rebelding huti ay isang halimbawa.
01:58Matapos ang mahigit apat na rang araw, ang mga kababayan natin ng binihad ng rebelding huti ay pinalaya na rin.
02:06Dala ng ating pakikipagtulungan sa Sultanate of Oman.
02:12Gayun din, dahil sa ating masigasid ng pakikipag-ugnayan, sa loob ng tatlong taon, nagawaran ng kapatawaran ang mahigit anim na raang kababayan natin na hatulan dahil sa sari-saring paglabag sa batas sa ibang bansa, lalo na sa UAE, sa Qatar, sa Bahrain at sa iba pa.
02:32And so, for the crucial and most beneficent sovereign intervention, I personally convey the entire nation's sincerest gratitude to the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait,
02:54and to all the leaders of various countries that have granted clemency and have shown kindness to our beleaguered compatriots.
03:02Maraming, maraming salamat po. Thank you very, very much.
