もう一つ、重要なシーンをカメラは収めている。2019年２月、急きょロケ隊がダバオに飛んだ。ダバオの日本領事館開所式の様子を撮るためだった。ここで、テオドロ・ロクシン外務長官と河野太郎外務大臣（当時・現防衛大臣）、日比両国の外務トップが同席、河合弁護士が「このままでは問題が解決する前に消滅してしまう」と声をかけると、「しっかり頑張ります」と河野さんが応じたのだ。
日本文化に造詣が深いロクシン長官は、後日、フィリピン残留日本人への日本政府の対応について「サムライの末裔に国籍を与えない日本は不思議の国」とツイートを発信した。
「私たちはフィリピン国籍をいつでも提供する用意があるし、登録手続きはいつでも始められる。とはいえ、彼らの願いは日本人になることである。ところが日本の国会はどうやらその声を聴こうとはしていない。そんな状況にあってもなお、彼らは近代の日本の侍の末裔たちなのである。不思議な国である。」（2019年9月19日）
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
