Alan pushes mandatory teaching of diplomacy: Citing the achievement of Israel which has made “friends and built bridges” with many countries around the world, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano makes a pitch for a mandatory teaching of diplomacy in the Philippines, instead of a mandatory military training. On Wednesday's plenary discussion on the resolution recognizing and commemorating the 75th founding anniversary of the State of Israel, May 10, 2023, Cayetano said the Philippines is good at diplomacy and despite differences in religion, race, and language, it has found a way to live together at peace with neighbors in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Cayetano also stressed that since the Philippines voted in favor of the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, “there has been no time wherein when we reached out, Israel has not responded.” He thanked all Israelis for continuing the strong relationship with Filipinos regardless of religion and despite the distance.
