                    [Summary] => Malacañang is confident that the Philippines will get a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).


In a press briefing yesterday, Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople has assured the Arroyo administration that he was able to secure the support of 139 countries for the Philippines’ bid for a seat in the UNSC. This is more than the required two-thirds vote of 132 of the 197-nation UN General Assembly.

                    [Summary] => The country’s bid for a non-permanent seat at the powerful United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is in the bag, Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople said yesterday.


In a statement issued from Bangkok, Thailand where he was attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, Ople said the Philippines has already secured the support of 139 countries, more than the required number of votes to get a UNSC seat.  


A two-thirds vote or around 132 from the 197-member UN General Assembly is needed for the country to secure a seat in the UNSC, he explained.
