President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. called for the speedy implementation of the Five-Point Consensus to address the peace situation and crisis in Myanmar.
"While the Philippines adheres to the ASEAN principles of non-interference and consensus, the protracted suffering of the people in Myanmar, in part due to the lack of progress in the implementation of the Five Point Consensus, also challenges the ASEAN-honored principles of democracy and the respect for and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in the ASEAN Charter," he added.
"put forth a list of recommendations to push forward the implementation of the five-point consensus." Marcos then encouraged other ASEAN leaders to continue taking a "constructive approach" in engaging the stakeholders in Myanmar consistent with their shared vision of the regional body, which is "people-centered and people-oriented."
