The Prime Minister said in his address,
"As we heard today, you were involved in a wide range of activities for the dispatch this time, and as such, we have once again felt the power of nationwide efforts.
As you know, for Japan, the Philippines is a strategic partner and extremely important country. At a Summit Meeting just a while back, President Aquino offered very kind words of gratitude for your activities.
As Prime Minister of Japan, I too truly think of the activities that you have carried out with pride."
