Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte during his
speech at the Aqaba Process Virtual Meeting on COVID-19 Response last September
2 hosted by King Abdullah II of Jordan and attended by several world leaders,
representatives from the United Nations (UN) and international organizations,
he emphasized the need to adapt and create a new order shunning the violence
brought about by terrorism.
“Excellencies, the COVID-19 pandemic compels us to
break with the past. Insisting on the old ways that have perpetuated
inequalities within and between nations is simply untenable,” President Duterte
said.
“Let us seize this
historic opportunity to build a new order: one that is more secure, just, and
humane – where there is no room for the barbarity of terrorists and extremist
forces,” President Duterte adds. “And one that is fair, equal, and sustainable
– where progress and prosperity are enjoyed by all.”

“Let us, therefore,
honor those who have fallen to the invisible enemy that is the pandemic and the
scourge of terrorism. Let us commit ourselves to enduring partnership and
cooperation. For indeed, together, we shall prevail,” Duterte added.
The Philippine
President notes that no country was spared from the effects of the novel
coronavirus from Wuhan, China.
“For the first time,
all of humanity fear the exact same invisible menace. Not even the Second World
War had this most sweeping effect,” he said. “Our urgent common response was to
close down borders and impose limits to mobility and trade. The repercussions,
as we are seeing now, are grim and far-reaching. We have economies in
recession, institutions in crisis, and societies in state of uncertainty.”
“As insecurity
rises, the fear of the “Other” and the unknown heightens. This brings out man’s
darkest tendencies to look inward and go it alone,” he added. “But the path to
recovery requires more openness, deeper solidarity, and stronger cooperation
among nations.”
“Now, more than
ever, our resolve is stronger: We will not let up in our fight against
terrorism. And we will not allow COVID-19 to bring our people to their knees,”
the President said.
