He said there is pressure on Asia-Pacific countries to take sides due to the intense geopolitical tension in the region. “However, I think we are determined as a group in ASEAN and in the Indo-Pacific, those around the Indo-Pacific, despite all of this conflict we are determined to stay away from that,” Marcos said.

Such is what happened to the Philippines, Marcos said, wherein the COVID-19 pandemic brought the country back to basics and could no longer depend on importation to survive.
