President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos said that some ASEAN member states want Myanmar removed from the regional organization, but underscored that all parties involved in the crisis should be heard.
"Kasi may mga bansa, sabi nila, basta tanggalin na natin ang Myanmar sa ASEAN. O basta’t huwag nating imbitahin at all. Mayroon naman nagsasabi na hindi huwag lang ‘yung mga nasa taas, pero ‘yung sa ilalim kailangan pa rin natin kausapin ‘yan. Meron naman, tayo ‘yun," Pres. Bongbong Marcos said.

"Actually ang main worry ng marami sa mga leaders is Myanmar. That the Five-Point [Consensus] that they had agreed with ASEAN—that Myanmar had agreed with ASEAN, eh hindi nasusunod. Anong gagawin natin?" Marcos said. He also encouraged other ASEAN leaders to continue taking a "constructive approach" in engaging the stakeholders in Myanmar consistent with their shared vision of the regional body, which is "people-centered and people-oriented."
