00:00 Of course, the new plans that the Marcos administration will implement will be implemented here.

00:10 This is what I expect here.

00:14 I expect that they will give a new policy and direction

00:18 that will give confidence and hope to the Filipino people.

00:23 Especially the new policies, programs, and projects

00:28 that are needed to overcome poverty.

00:32 The million-Filipino from grinding poverty.

00:36 I expect that they will have a solution

00:41 for the severe poverty that is coming to our country.

00:46 Second, they will have a kind of justice.

00:49 Improve the justice system.

00:52 Because the million-Filipino are very heavy.

00:56 For the justice system.

00:58 Honestly, in the history,

01:00 all the revolutions in the world,

01:03 the number one main cause is injustices.

01:06 Third, it is important to improve the morality of the Filipino people.

01:11 Without morality, there is no righteousness.

01:15 Without righteousness, the Filipino nation will be destroyed.

01:21 God Himself said, "Righteousness exalts a nation,

01:25 but it is a sin in the reputation of the people."

01:28 So I expect that in this zone,

01:31 our President, Bombo Marcos, will give hope.

01:36 I hope, for the Filipino people.

01:39 Any expectation on the President's zone?

01:43 Big.

01:45 We know that climate change is unpredictable.

01:50 But we know that there will be more intense and extreme weather events.

01:56 So, we are really afraid.

01:59 But we know for sure that the President knows the connection between climate change,

02:04 environmental protection, and of course water.

02:07 That's my hope.

02:09 What we expect is details on how we will face the problems,

02:14 especially the rising prices of goods.

02:18 And how we can build more jobs.

02:21 In the first zone, we needed overhauled plants.

02:26 But now, we want to know the detailed steps we will take.

02:30 If you want the President to include in his...

02:34 ...your political agenda, maybe non-priority yet,

02:39 but you think that you will need a maritime zone.

02:42 You know, the term of the President was beginning with an end.

02:48 We have already announced our plan for the entire six years.

02:54 We have a continuation of progress.

02:56 And we're on track.

02:58 We're better than on track.

03:00 What's your expectation here in the Southern Region?

03:03 Where do you take it from, sir?

03:05 Not only to say that it's a true state of the country,

03:08 but also to say what help is needed from our countrymen.

03:13 It's a big step.

03:15 It's a good election.

03:16 It's a waste if the government will only give importance to what needs to be done for our countrymen.

03:22 Thank you, sir.

03:23 Well, I think it's good to have such substantive sessions.

03:29 And he will map the way forward.

03:32 In terms of foreign policy, especially in China, what are you expecting?

03:36 I think a good assessment of where we're going.

03:39 Thank you.

03:40 One of our main infrastructure projects is the Metro Manila Subway.

03:45 It's a Php 480 billion project.

03:48 Another one is the North-South Commuter Railway.

03:52 It's a Php 870 billion project.

03:55 So, those are the two main projects.

03:57 But of course, there are others.

04:00 There's airport improvement.

04:04 There are many projects.

04:09 In fact, we have 71 infrastructure flagship projects out of 194.

04:16 I don't have a preference because I haven't had it yet.

04:20 I don't want to say I'm going to use foreign representative,

04:23 but I know that the president is very supportive of this process.

04:29 Sir, you're the presidential advisor of this process. Will you recommend something for this process?

04:35 We can explore. We will just wait for the kind of secret sector.

04:40 But the view of the secret sector is really local-based engagement.

04:46 Sir, our program is good. Of course, it is under the leadership of the president.

04:53 As you can see, it's not only the emphasis of the demand reduction.

04:58 It's also the demand and supply reduction.

05:04 So, at the same time, demand and supply reduction. That's been very important.

05:07 The issue of climate change has been very clear since the PDBM.

05:11 In fact, it's included in our PDB on Chapter 15.

05:16 There may be explanations or explications on specific issues,

05:20 but the policy or the direction is already consented.

05:23 We thank the president, Don Juan Marcos, who included this in our document.

05:29 Sir, what's the progress now on the possible attendance of the president to the climate change forum by later this year?

05:36 We will leave that up to the state government.

05:43 So, we will leave that to the government.
