As for Duterte, he commended Moon’s efforts in bridging the gap between South and North Korea and bringing peace to the Korean peninsula.

“I commended President Moon for his vision of bringing peace, stability, and prosperity to the Korean peninsula. His selfless dedication is demonstrated by the historic Inter-Korean Summit (in April), which resulted in the (signing of the declaration),'” Duterte said.

“The Philippines is hopeful that positive developments over the past several months will continue and contribute positively toward the goal of the denuclearization in [the] Korean peninsula,” he added.

Better international ties between the two countries has resulted to South Korea offering $1 billion worth of official development assistance (ODA) to the Philippines.

Moon is positive that the Philippines’ warm support towards its recent peace agreement with North Korea will allay the ties between the two countries.

“His support will be of great help to us on our journey to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula. Our two countries will further strengthen our cooperation and that goes beyond the Peninsula to uphold peace in the region,” Moon said.
