Quote of the week
“I have sought to steer our diplomacy not through rigid formulas or fleeting sentiment, but through the steady anchor of pragmatism—and a singular, unwavering focus on the national interest.
True diplomacy is rarely found in the limelight. It is forged in the quiet, relentless work we do every single day. It is found in defending our sovereignty, expanding economic horizons for our people, and ensuring the safety of millions of our overseas Filipinos.” Ma. Theresa P. Lazaro Secretary of Foreign Affairs On the Occasion of the 128th Founding Anniversary of the DFA – 23 June 2026.
