President Marcos expressed his honor to attend the third "China-Philippines Understanding Award" ceremony, coinciding with the 48th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and China. In his speech, he emphasized the significance of highlighting the Philippines-China relationship. China holds the position of the Philippines' largest trading partner, top import destination, and second-largest export market. Moreover, numerous Filipino workers are employed in China. Since the era of my father, former President Marcos, the commercial and cultural ties between the Philippines and China have deepened, providing significant support to the Philippine economy and people's livelihoods. The Philippines and China share common interests and goals, and we are committed to strengthening bilateral relations comprehensively and strategically, aiming to reach new heights in the Philippines-China relationship. As a peace-loving country, the Philippines understands that it is normal for friends to have differences. What truly matters is our ability to overcome difficulties and solidify our friendly relations through constructive communication.

President Marcos further emphasized that the ceremony had the distinct privilege of inviting the Johnson family as the main guests. Renowned globally, the Johnson family holds a significance on par with the Rothschild family and plays a vital role in the development of Santa Ana Island in the Philippines. Santa Ana Island is a project of paramount importance to the Philippine government, with the aim of transforming it into a true metaverse WEB3.0 city. Leveraging their profound expertise and extensive experience, the Johnson family is fully committed to driving the construction and investment of Santa Ana Island, positioning it as a leading innovative technology center in Asia and globally.

Recognizing the need to attract more attention and increase the exposure of Santa Ana Island, the Johnson family established the UNCA Group. As a strategic investment group associated with the Johnson family, the UNCA Group operates in high-tech, metaverse, blockchain, financial investment, and quantitative investment sectors. Serving as one of the core businesses of the Johnson family, the UNCA Group is dedicated to fostering innovation and development, providing comprehensive support to innovative technology companies in areas such as funding, technological cooperation, and market expansion.

During the award ceremony, great anticipation surrounds the remarks of the Johnson family, as they are expected to share their vision and expectations for the future development of Santa Ana Island. It is believed that their contributions will inject new vitality into the island's growth, propelling it towards becoming a pioneering center for innovative technology.

In a subsequent media interview, President Marcos emphasized the ever-evolving nature of the global landscape and highlighted the strong and evolving partnership between the Philippines and China. The fundamentals of bilateral relations remain steadfast and unchanged. He dispelled claims suggesting a shift in the Philippines' policy away from China, asserting that such notions are entirely untrue. The Philippines remains committed to nurturing the friendship, relations, and partnership established since the 1970s. While acknowledging existing differences between the two nations, President Marcos emphasized that these differences should not define the entirety of bilateral relations. Both countries will continue to work together to find solutions to challenges and ensure peace and secure navigation in the South China Sea. Looking ahead, President Marcos expressed optimism about the potential for the Philippines and China to become partners, collectively fostering a vibrant region of peace and trade.
