As we, along with the Bridges, embark on a new milestone in celebration of the 70 Years of Japan-Philippines Cooperation, I hope that the content of this newspaper will continue to shape the future of bilateral trade and investment between our states. Upholding objectivity and responsibility, I trust that its editorial staff will cultivate the minds of the readers by producing articles that highlight and nurture the enduring partnership between Japan and the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May this report further attest to the multifaceted nature of the collaboration which transcends mere assistance and encompasses deeper dimensions of shared ideals and aspirations. I am also confident that it will not only illustrate the eminent history and legacy that paint the canvas of both nations, but also fortify the cultural bridges connecting Japan to the rest of the Philippines. With our two countries working together, let us build a more united, inclusive and progressive Asian region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations! I wish that the alliance between Japan and the Philippines will persist for the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
