SA kabila ng paninindigan ng administrasyon laban sa tangkang pananakop ng China, kapayapaan pa rin ang mas matimbang na solusyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa patuloy na hidwaan sa West Philippine Sea.
Sa pagbubukas ng plenaryo ng Harvard World Model United Nations (WorldMUN) 2025 Conference na ginanap sa SM Aura sa lungsod ng Taguig, partikular na tinukoy ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez ang aniya’y “peace-centered foreign policy” sa pagtatanggol ng ng soberanya ng bansa, isusulong pa rin nito ang tinatawag na ‘foreign police of peace’ para ipagtanggol ang soberanya ng bansa.
Ang WorldMUN ay isang taunang pandaigdigang Model United Nations conference na inorganisa ng mga mag-aaral ng Harvard University, sa pakikipagtulungan sa isang host university sa iba’t ibang lungsod bawat taon.
“As you immerse yourselves in the discussions of this conference, I urge you to also immerse yourselves in the spirit of this nation. The Philippines is more than just your host country – it is a lesson in resilience, in unity, in the power of community,” wika ni Romualdez.
“We are a nation that has weathered storms – both literal and political. And yet, through it all, we stand, we rebuild, we move forward together,” dagdag niya.
Ayon kay Romualdez, ang parehong diwa ang gumagabay sa kasalukuyang liderato ng bansa.
“Under the Marcos Administration, we have pursued a foreign policy of peace, pragmatism, and partnership – building stronger alliances while standing firm in defending our sovereignty. We have strengthened economic ties with partners across Asia, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, securing investments and trade agreements that will uplift millions of Filipinos,” diin ng lider ng Kamara.
“This is the essence of diplomacy: standing firm in principle while seeking common ground. I hope you will carry that lesson with you. The idea that no matter how deep the differences, no matter how great the challenges, there is always a way forward – so long as there is a willingness to build, not just to destroy; to listen, not just to speak; to find common ground, not just to defend positions,” aniya.
Ani Romualdez sa mga delegado ng kumperensya na minana nila ang isang mundo na “masalimuot at sa ilang paraan, mas sensitibo kaysa dati.”
“Conflicts rage. Democracies are tested. Economies are shaken by forces beyond borders. Climate change is no longer a distant threat – it is here, demanding answers we can no longer afford to delay. These challenges will not wait for the next generation of leaders. You are that generation. Do not wait for permission to make an impact. Do not wait for the ‘right time.’ The right time is now,” aniya pa.
“The debates you hold in these halls may be simulations—but the ideas you form, the convictions you strengthen, and the friendships you forge here will be real. They will shape the way you see the world when you step beyond these walls.” (ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II)
