THE Stratbase-Albert Del Rosario Institute (ADRi) has thrown its full support to the deepening of relations between the Philippines and Australia.
“[The commonwealth] has consistently been among the countries most trusted by Filipinos,” Stratbase-ADRi president Dindo Manhit said. “We are grateful for Australia’s unwavering support for the Philippines, particularly its recognition of the 2016 arbitral ruling and its commitment to preserving the rule of law. Its presence in the Indo-Pacific and defense of the rules-based international order [assures] that peace, stability, and prosperity will be maintained in the region.”
