00:00A new world order on trade has begun.
00:04A sweeping round of higher taxes on tariff rates on exports to a single country that went into force earlier today.
00:10Good Thursday evening, one and all.
00:12Gabby Lopez here, homegrown and pleased to bring you PTV News Now.
00:16But before we dwell on the rather unsettling new global norm, let's go local first.
00:22President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said that Philippines cannot avoid being affected
00:27if tensions between China and the U.S. escalate into a military conflict over Taiwan,
00:32citing the country's geographic proximity and the presence of over 160,000 Filipinos on the island.
00:40While expressing hesitation over being drawn into war,
00:44the president emphasized the need to uphold national sovereignty and protect Filipino workers.
00:49He warned that any repatriation during conflict would pose serious challenges.
00:53The chief executive also underscored that Kaohsiung, Taiwan, is just a 40-minute flight from Lawag,
01:00highlighting closeness of the threat.
01:02He reaffirmed the Philippines' commitment to its humanitarian responsibilities despite the risks.
01:08There's a new way of doing business of trade for at least five dozen countries
01:12with the world's largest economy from here on.
01:16True to his word, and after a series of process and prolonged deadlines,
01:20Donald Trump vows to raise tariffs on countries with the trade surpluses to the United States took effect today.
01:27Some 60 countries, to include the Philippines, will have to pay new tariffs,
01:31ranging from 50% in the case of Brazil to 35% in Canada, 15% for Japan, Jordan, Iceland, Norway,
01:40and 10% for the United Kingdom.
01:42The operative phrase in the previous statement being,
01:44The finalized trade deals, signed and sealed, are still pending with most of the countries on the list
01:51to include the Philippine government, whose DTI chief Christina Roque and her team
01:57are still hammering out of the details the official deal.
02:00Be that as it may, and considering the president's highly successful state visit
02:04and business trip to India, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted also today
02:08on throwing another 100% tariff on semiconductor products shipped to the U.S.,
02:14which is the country's top export to America, with receipts totaling close to $5 billion.
02:22At this juncture, let's end our eyes and ears to my colleague in PTV's Baguio City Studios
02:27for what's brewing and late in the Cordilleras.
