SG vows enhanced bilateral cooperation with the Philippines

The focus will be on security and defence and education.

The Singaporean government vowed to enhance its bilateral cooperation with the Philippines, particularly on security and defence and education.

This was discussed during Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan’s meeting with his Philippine counterpart Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr. on 31 January.

The two diplomats also had a “fruitful exchange of views on regional and international developments, including efforts to uphold ASEAN centrality, unity and credibility, and the situation in Myanmar,” during their meeting.

On tourism and travel, the officials expressed optimism on the restoration of travel links between the two countries once the pandemic situation has eased.

The Philippines will open its borders to fully-jabbed foreign travellers from visa-free countries beginning 10 February, including Singapore.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
