"We are now laying the groundwork for the possible sisterhood relations of the two areas which would benefit each of these localities," Philippine Ambassador to Palau Ramoncito Mariño told The STAR.


Mariño said a letter of intent has already been prepared that would pave the way for the realization of the sisterhood agreement.
