President Aquino returned home from his last attendance to the ASEAN Summit as Philippine president early yesterday morning, elated that his final push for a binding Code of Conduct in the South China Sea got the support of other ASEAN member-states and regional bloc’s dialogue partners. The Chief Executive arrived at past 1 a.m. Monday at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2 following his attendance to the 27th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Aquino said that his last attendance to the ASEAN meetings had been “meaningful,” as the ASEAN Community and the ASEAN Vision 2025 were launched.
