00:00I think what's happened is Ayashan is leaving into each country to decide who at all.
00:16Ayashan does not take a common position because in our discussion, everyone is a different
00:22idea. So we will have to decide what the Philippines will think we should do. We will watch other countries
00:32to see what they should do. I still believe that we will come from the census as to what
00:39we do by December 28th. I still think I am definitely going to be calling around and say
00:47. Because it would be much preferable if the Philippines is one. So that's what I will
00:59try now, starting from now, because it is already scheduled December 28th. So we have to come
01:07to a decision as to what it is that we will do. There are differences in opinion on the different
01:14members. But the differences are not enormous. I think that if we talk about it somehow, we
01:23will find a common ground as to what we do. What that is, I cannot predict.
01:29In the event that there is no consensus from the Philippines. In the event that? In the
01:34event that there is no consensus from ASEAN members. Then the Philippines will move themselves.
01:39And we will agree to disagree. But that's how eyes are crossed. You know, you make up your own mind.
01:48If we would like to bring you into the majority, for example, then we will. We continue to call
01:59part with them. And as I said, I think all the member states, all the leaders of the member states,
02:06understand, understand. But they can be much, much better if ASEAN took a common position. And as
02:13one. That's what I would be, I would think.
