The present Agreement is drawn in English.

If the above proposals are acceptable to the Government of the Republic of the Philippines it is suggested that this Note and the Note of reply will constitute an Agreement between the two Governments for the abolition of the visa requirement for holders of diplomatic or service passports which will enter into force thirty days from the date of Note of reply.
