Had a productive call with FM @jmalbares. It was a good opportunity to reaffirm the strength of the long-standing 🇵🇭🇪🇸 relations. Looking forward to continued collaboration with 🇪🇸 on defense, trade, development cooperation, & ASEAN.
.@AusAmbPH has done so much for 🇵🇭-🇦🇺 strategic partnership in her three-year term in Manila. Australia is a consistent and reliable partner in championing the rule of law, including in the maritime domain. We in Manila will surely miss such a spirited and active envoy.

Thank you, dear SFA @SecLazaro for the smooth discussion and “coord and collab” efforts between @DFAPHL and @DMWPHL. Thanks for the lunch too, Ma’am. We got next :)
Our honor, dear SFA :) A natural partnership it is. Madamo salamat kag halong po, Ma’am!
A bittersweet farewell call by UK Amb. @LaureBeaufils, who has done so much to deepen PH-UK relations. During her term, we elevated relations to an Enhanced Partnership, established a Maritime Dialogue & exchanged visits of our Foreign Secretaries. All the best in your next role!

A pleasure to meet the DFA Press Corps and brief them about @DFAPHL's many activities, including the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting, situation in the Red Sea, PH's priorities for our ASEAN Chairship, PH-US-Japan Trilateral Meeting, and the President's upcoming visit to Washington D.C.
