00:12 Thank you for that. I think everybody feels pride in their work.

00:17 But I think there's a lot more work that needs to be done.

00:21 I think what we want to highlight now is the need for partnerships, the need for collaboration.

00:28 Our technologies might be good, we might be able to access them, but if it's not used, there's no innovation.

00:37 We don't have innovation if it's not cascading in society, if it's not used by government agencies,

00:45 if it's not used by the private sector, if it's not used by the public.

00:49 So that's what we dedicate ourselves to.

00:52 As we look back on being able to build the agency, I think we built it to a stage where we can now contribute more.

00:59 And we're ready. And our government trusts us.

01:03 Hopefully our public is also able to trust us with these technologies and be able to serve our country's needs.

01:11 What the public can expect is really just being able for us to execute consistently.

01:17 Whatever resources we have, we should use them efficiently, to use them for the public good.

01:24 And along the way, to make everybody appreciate the value of this capability in our country.

01:31 This is one of our messages.

01:34 That's why we launched our theme, "Yamang Kalawakan".

01:38 It means, literally, wealth.

01:43 But if you look at outer space now, it's now part of the environment where we can build infrastructure.

01:50 We're building infrastructure here on Earth.

01:54 Airports, roads, bridges, it's very important.

01:57 The infrastructure in space is also like that.

01:59 Because those satellites give valuable information that we use in our daily lives.

02:06 In our commute, in ordering food, in connecting to the internet, or sometimes in sending information,

02:13 in getting information, space technology plays a role.

02:17 So consistency in execution of our programs and projects, making use of available resources,

02:23 growing international partnerships, and being able to establish the Philippines as a responsible and productive global player in the space arena.

02:34 That's open for collaboration and cooperation with countries, so that we can learn from them and also contribute something to them.

02:41 Now, on our 4th anniversary, we chose to highlight the role of the media.

02:45 In general, communication, science communication is key, of course, to being able to propagate the message of, in the first place, the "why".

02:57 Why are we investing in this? Why are we building capability in this?

03:03 How is this being used? How is this being used?

03:08 We are very much appreciative of the role of the media in communicating this message.

03:13 It's a partnership. Together, our goal is, you know, the space, when we look at it, is very far, very distant from our lives.

03:23 But that's not true. It's close.

03:26 We want to bring it closer to the lives of our fellow Filipinos, by showing how this can improve the efficiency of delivery of services,

03:37 how it can protect our environment, how our resources can be used more efficiently through this technology.
