Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for Policy Enrique A. Manalo conducted a town hall meeting at the Philippine Embassy in London on 16 November 2019 to keep Embassy personnel and the Filipino community in the United Kingdom up-to-date important developments in the Philippines.
During the meeting, Undersecretary Manalo delivered a talk on the South China Sea and how the ASEAN in general, and the Philippines in particular, cooperates with China to manage the conflicting claims in the area. The Undersecretary, as a former Philippine Ambassador to the Court of St. James, also touched base with the officers and staff on their daily life in London, reflecting on his own five-year stint in London.
