00:00There are also questions about what happened to the ASEAN Summit.
00:06We have consulted with our counterparts in the 10 other member states.
00:16The question that I asked them is very simple.
00:21Would you prefer, because everybody is busy with the oil crisis that's going on because of the war in the
00:27Middle East,
00:27would you like to postpone the ASEAN Summit?
00:31The consensus that we came to is that it is precisely now that we must coordinate our efforts.
00:39So that is what we are going to do. Ipapatuloy natin yung ASEAN Summit.
00:45Ngunit, the way that we describe it is that we have, it is a bare bones ASEAN Summit.
00:52It's just, we will not talk about, we will be talking about three main subjects.
00:56About the supply of petroleum and petroleum products.
01:02About the supply of food and the price of food.
01:06And migrant workers.
01:07Those will be the three subject matters that we will be taking up in the ASEAN Summit.
01:12It will be over a period of maybe a day and a half.
01:15Inbes na yung mahaba, all the, what we had planned, lahat ng plinano natin.
01:20Eh, sabi ko, baka hindi naman ngayon ang panahon na magpamasyado natin, masyadong elaborate ang ating preparasyon.
01:30Ang kailangan talaga sa panahon na ito ay makapag-usap kami mga leader upang malaman natin kung ano, what do
01:37we do in the future?
01:38What do we do for the rest of the year? What do we do? How can we help each other?
01:42And what is the ASEAN position regarding all of these shocks that are coming our way?
01:50So, that is yun ang nagiging usapan sa ASEAN.
01:56Tuloy tayo sa May 7, May 8, but as I said, it will be a very bare bones summit which
02:05will focus very closely on those three subject matters, oil, food, and migrant workers.
02:12Sir, sa halip na dalawang leader summit, isa na lang po ba ang magiging leader summit for this year?
02:17Wala tayong, hindi natin pinag-uusapan muna yun sa November. So, sa ngayon tentatively tuloy pa yun sa November dahil
02:27importante din yun
02:28because the other world leaders will be coming here na galing sa Europe, yung ating sa China, yung ating sa
02:35Korea, sa Japan.
02:37Kailangan talagang pag-usapan lahat ng mga pangyayaring ito. So, it's going to be very important also.
02:42But before we do that, siguro by September, October, magtatanong na tayo kung ano yung gustong gagawin yung mga ibang
02:52leader,
02:53kung makarating man sila, etc.
02:55But right now, we are focused on the summit in May.
03:00Sir, may nananawagan na kongresista na bawasan po ang budget ng ASEAN.
03:04From 20, gawin na lang daw kung 10.
03:06Yung 12 billion, ibigay na lang daw po dun sa mas nangangailangan yung apektado ng crisis.
03:11Ano po masasabi nyo, sir?
03:13Ginawa na namin. Tapos na yun.
03:15That's why we did this. That's exactly why we did this.
03:19One of the big reasons why we did this.
03:24Thank you, Ranurila.
03:35Thank you, Ranurila.
03:36You
