00:00Samantala, punong-puno nga po na maaktibidad ang ikalawang araw ng official visits sa Canada ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos
00:07Jr.
00:07At sa katunayan, inanunso po ng Pangulong Pag-angat sa Strategic Partnership ng Bilateral Relations ng Canada at Pilipinas.
00:14Ang iba pang kaganapan mula roon, alamin po natin mula kay Kenneth Paschente live mula sa Canada. Kenneth, anong update?
00:23Yes, Diane, umarangkada na nga yung ikalawang araw ng official visit ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. dito sa Vancouver,
00:33Canada.
00:35Kanina, Diane, mag-aalas 12 ng tanghali oras dito sa Vancouver nang dumating ang Pangulo at First Lady Lisa Marcos
00:43sa Vancouver Convention Center para sa pagsisimula ng official engagement ng Presidente.
00:48Mainit na sinalubong ang Pangulo at unang ginang ni Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
00:54Sinundan niya ng tetatet at bilateral meeting ng dalawang leader na nagresulta sa pagkakapirma ng apat na kasunduan.
01:02Kabilang na riyan ang Memorandum of Understanding for Cultural Cooperation para sa taong 2026 hanggang 2031,
01:09Memorandum of Understanding on Tourism Cooperation at Joint Declaration of Intent on Labor and Migration Cooperation.
01:19These agreements will help us harness the strong people-to-people ties between our two countries as we jointly build
01:27capacities and create a mutually beneficial talent pipeline for the future.
01:35Inanunsyo rin ng Pangulo ang pag-angat ng bilateral relations ng Canada at Pilipinas sa strategic partnership.
01:42Kaya inatasan na niya ang foreign ministers ng dalawang bansa para balang kasina ang plan of action patungkol dito.
01:50We recognize that robust defense and security cooperation underpins the strong momentum of our relations.
01:58Recent milestones in this pillar underscore the shared commitment of our countries in ensuring that our peoples continue to live
02:06in peaceful and secure regions.
02:09We translate these aspirations into tangible and operational commitments.
02:18Binigyang diin pa ng presidente na mas malawak na ugnayang pangkomersyo ang pagsasapinal ngayong taon ng free trade agreement sa
02:25Canada.
02:26Samantala natanong naman diin ang Pangulo hinggilis sa pag-angat ng Pilipinas sa upper middle income status at kumpiansya siya
02:33na mas positibo ang magiging epekto nito sa bansa.
02:39It changes the rules a little bit for us because we have to become less dependent on just straight out
02:48foreign grants for example.
02:50I do not worry, we were discussing this earlier today and I don't think that it will lead to an
02:58increase in interest rates for loans for example.
03:01But we do believe the effect will be on the grants that are given.
03:05But nonetheless, that means in a way that can be interpreted as a World Bank saying you no longer need
03:13that.
03:13And we will replace that with investment.
03:16And that I think is a very, very important development for the Philippines and its economy.
03:23Thank you very much.
03:53At yun na muna ang latest, balik sa iyo, Diana.
03:55Maraming salamat Kenneth Paschente live mula sa Vancouver, Canada.
