00:00Should we be in any way worried since aliado rin po tayo ng US? Could there be some spillover?
00:07We really hope, each one of us hopes and prays na hindi ito mag spillover. Pero diba kung anong mangyari
00:15sa Middle East or for that matter any part of the world, makakaapekto talaga sa buong mundo.
00:21So, kasunod ng pag-ataking iyon ng US at ng Israel sa Iran, nag-counterattack naman ang Iran sa mga
00:29US facilities sa Middle East.
00:31And we are, nag-renew tayo ng treaty relationships sa US. I would like to say na on a more
00:42equal footing at nagbubuo tayo ng mga treaty relationships sa iba pang at mas marami pang mga bansa.
00:50But, kumbaga, ang taas ng stakes for all countries in the world, kasama tayo. Kaya ang urgent call din ay
01:00bumalik sa negosasyon. May negosasyon ongoing.
01:05Huwag nating kalimutan, between the US and Iran, facilitated by Oman. At may iniuulat na progress report, hindi man kompleto,
01:14pero partial, mayroon ang Omani government nung biglang umatake ang US at Israel sa Iran.
01:21So, urgent call, tigil putukan sa gerang yan, bumalik sa negosasyon, at pilit na pagkasunduan yung mga issue na sabi
01:34ay dahilan daw kung bakit nangyayari ito.
01:39Eh, just the day before the attack, ang issue daw ay yung nuclear energy development program ng Iran.
01:50Which, by the way, last year, sinabi ng US government na obliterate na yung capacity na yun.
01:55Biglang, the day of, hours after the attack started, naging ano na, regime change, no? So, pero kung ano man
02:04yung totoong at yung pagdadahilan ng mga issues,
02:10basta tigil putukan muna, isecure yung kaligtasan ng dumadaming taong nangangani, pati yung ating mga kababayang Pilipino, bumalik sa negosasyon.
02:21Ibalik yung rule ng international law.
