 Acting Secretary of the Socialist and Director General Zegler. Today, the Order of Siketuna, Ramp of Datu, Gold Distinction, for extra-ordinary service rendered in nurturing iris-special relations with the Philippines. Excellency, you may serve as an example and inspiration to your colleagues who will have to assume quite a challenging role in outstanding legacy. May a rich and abundant harvest come about from your seeds that you have planted, sown and cultivated in our land. Thank you. A tremendous honor and indeed, humbling to receive this very, very important honor from the President of the Philippines. A moving experience for me personally. And it's something that reminds me of the importance of the work that here he does. And while this honor is being served upon me personally, really it is a recognition of the extreme importance of the work that all of our colleagues do at URI and in our primary institutions in the Philippines to advance the interest in the well-being. Not only the Philippine farmers, but also all the Europeans. So it is with great honor and I must say considerable personal pleasure that I accept this recognition, thank you very much. I would like to toast to the long and continuing friendship and partnership between the International Rights Institute and the people of the Philippines.
