should be a part of our concern

during these uncertain times.

The world does not need another world war.

I'm honored to help partner

Karen Tejema, who's been a part,

of course, of the government,

and I'd like to partner, and I'd like to thank

the support of my son

Daryl in the creative works

of Cabelo Gaviria

and his son in Algeria.

To them, I give these thanks.

Our next laureate

is Ambassador

Jeannie T. Cruz.

Ambassador Cruz was a

former special envoy to the

People's Republic of China

for trade and investment.

This year, APBCU

recognizes his work

and contribution in promoting

China-Religion's

fraternal understanding.

I'll receive the award

on behalf of Ambassador Cruz

and his daughter,

Ms. Kimberly Cruz.

...association for Philippines

China understanding.

Of course, his existence is lost yet.

Ambassador of the People's Republic of China

and the Philippines,

please remain on stage with three consecutive

presidents.

The Chinese

hold the Filipino brand

in such high regard

that OSCE has successfully

established itself as a global

Filipino brand.

Ambassador Chen was also

one of the first major

private donors who sent medical

supplies to the Philippines at the height

of the pandemic.

He has also donated over

700 schoolhouses

across the Philippines and supported

the maintenance of the Royal

Tube of the Soldado Saloon

in Dezhou, China

as a direct witness to the

600 years of friendly exchanges

between China and the Philippines.

And on behalf of

Ambassador Chen,

let us listen to his son,

Mr. Austin Chen.

Please allow me to deliver

the message of Ambassador Carlos Chen

on his behalf.

His Excellency, President

President Marcos Jr.,

His Excellency,

former Regeneral

Representative,

former Executive Secretary

of the Government of the Philippines,

His Excellency, Ambassador

Hwang Su-Lien,

members of the Cabinet and other government

officials,

AAPTCU Chairman Erwin

Ambino,

AAPTCU Vice-Chairman Jeffrey Ma,

fellow RITs, distinguished guests,

ladies and gentlemen, good evening.

I am deeply

honored and humbled to accept this award

from the Association Promoting

Philippine-China

Understanding.

Being selected for the Hall of Fame

category for your documentary

alongside other distinguished authorities,

including former

President Rodrigo Arroyo

III, fills me with immense

pride and gratitude.

For almost 20 years,

I have had the privilege of serving as

Philippine Special Envoy

to China, allowing me to

represent the Philippines in various

capacities.

My responsibilities included

promoting trade and investment,

fostering tourism,

and facilitating cultural

exchanges between our two

nations.

These efforts have contributed

to mutual understanding,

respect, and

partnership between the Filipino

and the Chinese people,

as well as the enrichment of the

Philippine economy.

I would like to express

my sincere appreciation

to the former President

Daria Macalagay Arroyo,

the late President

Dinigno,

who resulted in the delivery

of emergency weapons when our soldiers

were being outgunned.

The release of the Department of

Trust Relations with China was

a massive stabilization of

South China Sea issues.

This was also recognized by

other Asia leaders, allowing

for the reopening of our fishermen's

access and the expansion of

tourism, trade, employment,

and international investments

in the Philippines.

The early delivery of millions of

vaccines donated by China

protected our frontliners

and helped the economy reopen.

The President of the

Philippine ECU,

our guest,

Mr. President Bum.

On behalf of our

ECU, it is indeed a great

honor coming from this

great organization

whose main goal is to strengthen

the relationship

between the two

nations.

I am sure,

former President Dinigno

will tell you,

we will always cherish

his word. We will

follow both countries and

continue to move forward

in our efforts to achieve what

we want.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the President of the

Republic of the Philippines,

His Excellency,

the President,

R. Marcos, Jr.

Thank you very much

to Secretary

Dan Hoffman

for his kind introduction.

Please, please, please.

His Excellency,

Ambassador Juan Sera,

Ambassador of the

People's Republic of China,

Members of the Cabinet

present here with us today,

the Honorable Members of the Senate,

and of course, the Association

of the Philippines-China Understanding

Award Ceremony.

It is my great pleasure

and honor to join you here

today for the Association

of the Philippines-China

Understanding Award Ceremony.

If only to demonstrate

how important this

ceremony is for us

and all that it symbolizes.

It is my great pleasure

and honor to join you here

today for the Association

of the Philippines-China

and all that it symbolizes.

Indeed, this evening

is significant for a variety of reasons.

It is a fitting day

for our celebration

of the 48th year of the formal

establishment of the relations between

the Philippines and China,

a significant event of our history

that directly informed the presidency

of my father.

Built on a long

and rich history of commercial

and cultural exchanges and

intermingling, this bilateral

relationship has been a boon

for our country's economic strength

over the past years.

The figures say it all.

Following centuries

of old traditions, ranking first

as our import source,

we were able to grow and

rejuvenate in the upward organization

which led, in many ways,

to the long shape of these awards.

We must simply

rightly recognize.

In doing so, she recognized

the great importance

of a mutual understanding

between the Philippines and China

in recognizing

the former president

for his strong courage and nurture

to love our history.

So, we will exert

our utmost efforts to strengthen

this relationship.

We will strive to make a more comprehensive

and more uniform belief

that our relationship

must not be defined

by our innate differences.

So, let us be bound

rather by our similarities

to our common purpose,

our shared goals.

As a guiding principle, we will

set a dialogue with an adequate approach

to our decision-making and

to do even more.

Our receiving awardees

shall have fresh complications

for the worthy causes we want to make.

But they will also serve

as examples for our countrymen

to emulate and to provide

a spark to generate

as we push towards

the next century of our diplomatic relationship.

And we will follow

on up to assist us

in this effort.

To end, let me say

that I am nothing

but bright confidence

with the future of the

Philippines and in general.

Let us continue to work

to usher in

an exciting chapter for our

respective nations.
