"For half a century, our two nations have fostered friendship, cultural exchange, and mutual growth. This milestone reminds us that collaboration is the cornerstone of progress. "
He pointed out that "Ne Zha 2" is a triumph not just for China, but for all of Asia.
"The success of this film should inspire us in the Philippines and across our region to embrace our own stories, amplify our creativity, and prove that Asian narratives can captivate the world.
"As we enjoy this cinematic masterpiece, let us reflect on how Ne Zha’s journey mirrors our own aspirations. Just as he rose above challenges through unity and resilience, so too can our nations achieve greatness by working together."
