00:22On behalf of the Philippines and the Filipino people,
00:25I extend warm greetings to all ASEAN citizens on the occasion of the 58th founding anniversary
00:32of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
00:35We take pride in the Philippines' role more than five decades ago
00:39when we laid the foundation for a region anchored on peace, cooperation, shared progress and prosperity.
00:47Guided by the purpose and principles of ASEAN enshrined in its charter,
00:51we have stood together in navigating evolving regional and global challenges over the years.
00:57Through solidarity and dialogue, we have also fostered mutually beneficial partnerships
01:02and we have advanced initiatives that uplift the lives of peoples and communities.
01:07This year, under Malaysia's chairship, ASEAN is steered by the themes of inclusivity and sustainability.
01:14This reflects not only the enduring aspirations of our region,
01:19but also the shared responsibilities that we must embrace
01:23in today's dynamic and complex global environment.
01:26As the Philippines assumes the ASEAN chairship in 2026,
01:31we will build on ASEAN's achievements in responding to the region's evolving priorities
01:36and facing emerging challenges.
01:39We will uphold ASEAN principles and continue the region's legacy of lasting peace
01:45and shared progress as we navigate our future together.
