.—President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said he is concerned over the provocations made by China in the South China Sea.
"As concerned as you could possibly be. It is one of the major issues that we have to face back home," Marcos said when asked how concerned he is with the continued provocation of China in the South China Sea. Harris, on the other hand, said the two countries will continue to work on issues relating to the South China Sea.
"I think that has given us the very attractive opportunity to continue to strengthen the relationship between our two countries in the face—in the context of all of the difficulties and complexities, the rising tensions in our region and the world," the President said. "During my visit to the Philippines, we discussed many issues including the importance of clean energy economy. You and I share a passion for that," Harris said.
