00:00Samantala, ilang kasunduan sa kalakalan ang nilagdaan sa Pilipinas o sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at Germany.
00:05Kasunod yan ang pagbisita sa bansa ni German President Frank Walter Steinmeier.
00:11Napag-usapan din ng mga hamon na kinakaharap ng dalawang bansa, lalo na sa larangan ng kapayapaan at siguridad.
00:17Ang detalya sa report ni Kenneth, pasyente.
00:22Mainit na sinalubong ni na Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. at First Lady Lisa Marcos sa Malacanong Ground
00:28si German President Frank Walter Steinmeier at may bahay nito para sa tatlong araw na state visit ng German leader
00:34sa bansa.
00:35Sa bilateral meeting ng dalawang leader, natalakay ang mga isyo na kapwa kinaharap ng Germany at Pilipinas,
00:41kabilang na ang hamon sa siguridad at kapayapaan.
00:44Kasama na rin ang usapin sa depensa, peace building, maritime cooperation, trade at investment,
00:50climate change, renewable energy, at people-to-people exchanges.
00:54Kasunod nito, nalagdaan ang lease agreement sa pagitan ng Lipad Corporation at Lufthansa Technique Philippines
01:01na inaasahang magpapatibay pa sa ugnayang pang-ekonomiya at kooperasyon sa larangan ng aviation.
01:07Sa ilalim kasi nito, magagamit at lalo pang mapapaunlad ang 157,000 square meter support,
01:13maintenance and repair facility sa Clark International Airport.
01:16Kinilala naman ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. ang papel ng Germany sa peace and development sa Mindanao,
01:21gayon din sa kooperasyong pang-ekonomiya.
01:23On economic cooperation, Germany remains a strong partner of the Philippines in terms of trade and investment,
01:30being the Philippines' biggest trading and investment partner in the EU,
01:35with a total bilateral trade at about $5.5 billion and net foreign direct investment amounting to $10.26 million
01:44in 2025.
01:47There are notable German companies present in our countries, including Siemens, Lufthansa Technique, Deutsche Bank, Bayer and Borsch, amongst many
01:57others.
01:57Ipinunto pa ng Pangulo na mahalagang partner ng bansa ang Germany pagdating sa depensa.
02:02Lalot ka isa ito sa pagpapatupad ng rule of law, maging ng rules-based international order.
02:08I thank Germany specifically for consistently and publicly expressing its support for Philippine efforts
02:14to uphold the rule of law in South China Sea,
02:18including by calling on all parties to abide by the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award.
02:27On maritime cooperation,
02:29I conveyed an appreciation for the partnership in modernizing the maritime and aviation capabilities of the Philippine Coast Guard.
02:36Kinilala rin niya ang Germany sa suporta nito sa free trade agreements sa pagitan ng Pilipinas at European Union
02:42at ang suporta nito sa mga OFW na nagtatrabaho sa Germany.
02:47Ipinunto pa niya na malaki ang potensyal ng partnership ng Germany at Pilipinas pagdating sa renewable energy.
02:53Suportado rin anya ng Pilipinas ang aplikasyon ng Germany bilang sectoral dialogue partner ng ASEAN.
02:59Sinabi rin ng punong ehekutibo na bukas ang Pilipinas sa posibilidad ng isang visiting forces agreement sa Germany
03:05bilang bahagi ng pagpapalawak ng ugnayan sa larangan ng depensa at siguridad.
03:09Well, why not?
03:11We are probably, in reality, we are still a long way off of that.
03:17But we are actually, we are increasing our engagements,
03:22especially in the military and in the defense and the security areas.
03:30And perhaps when the time comes, certainly that would be something that the Philippines will be very, very open to.
03:39I cannot see any disadvantage to that.
03:44But with the volatility that is happening in the geopolitical world right now,
03:51the best path to stability is to have partnerships, is to have a wide base of alliances.
04:01Bago pa magtungo sa Malacanang, nag-alay muna ng bulaklak si President Steinmeier sa Bantayog ni Gat Jose Rizal sa
04:07Maynila.
04:08Ito na, ang unang pagbisita ng isang German Head of State sa Pilipinas mula pa noong 1963.
04:15Kenneth, pasyente para sa bayan.
