01:09 (speaking in foreign language)
01:12 But anyways, today we will be discussing
01:15 (speaking in foreign language)
01:16 Cebu City government to slash the manpower
01:20 at the Cebu City Transportation Office.
01:23 But before we proceed,
01:25 (speaking in foreign language)
01:30 Oh, in fact, back in December,
01:34 yes, December 7,
01:36 (speaking in foreign language)
01:42 According to her, back then,
01:54 they'd be gone by January 1, 2023.
01:59 (speaking in foreign language)
02:03 But anyways, back then,
02:13 (speaking in foreign language)
02:16 The city is forced to cut her office's manpower.
02:21 (speaking in foreign language)
02:24 According to the Department of Budget and Management,
02:27 (speaking in foreign language)
02:30 can only have 400 casual employees.
02:34 So far, (speaking in foreign language)
02:38 554 casual employees,
02:41 and most of them are deployed to the streets.
02:45 (speaking in foreign language)
02:48 Now, (speaking in foreign language)
02:53 concern (speaking in foreign language)
02:58 Then, back in December,
03:00 (speaking in foreign language)
03:04 But anyways, that's past is past.
03:12 (speaking in foreign language)
03:16 Later, (speaking in foreign language)
03:21 When we come back, (speaking in foreign language)
03:27 In the meantime, (speaking in foreign language)
03:30 from Visayan Electric.

05:48 Okay.
05:49 (speaking in foreign language)
05:53 So, in the meantime, (speaking in foreign language)
06:19 (speaking in foreign language)
06:23 Yes, sir.
06:26 (speaking in foreign language)
06:30 As of the moment, there are 10,000 or plus,
06:44 (speaking in foreign language)
06:48 In fact, any announcement (speaking in foreign language)
06:55 does not only affect (speaking in foreign language)
07:00 So, (speaking in foreign language)
07:06 So, (speaking in foreign language)
07:13 To have more than 400 employees,
07:15 supposedly, (speaking in foreign language)
07:20 Eight or seven months, no?
07:22 Yeah.
07:23 (speaking in foreign language)
07:24 Or eight months, probably.
07:25 (speaking in foreign language)
07:30 But, a question is, will it affect (speaking in foreign language)
07:41 (speaking in foreign language)
07:45 Most of them, (speaking in foreign language)
07:50 Do you think (speaking in foreign language)
07:55 (speaking in foreign language)
08:09 Once (speaking in foreign language)
08:14 Okay.
08:21 (speaking in foreign language)
08:25 In fact, they should know by now,
08:29 (speaking in foreign language)
08:33 (speaking in foreign language)
08:37 (speaking in foreign language)
09:05 They only have to have 400 employees,
09:08 so, (speaking in foreign language)
09:10 They have to work with that number.
09:13 So, (speaking in foreign language)
09:18 And at the same time, (speaking in foreign language)
09:26 (speaking in foreign language)
09:30 (speaking in foreign language)
09:35 (speaking in foreign language)
09:39 (speaking in foreign language)
09:43 (speaking in foreign language)
09:47 (speaking in foreign language)
09:53 Especially, number one, (speaking in foreign language)
10:10 (speaking in foreign language)
10:14 (speaking in foreign language)
10:19 (speaking in foreign language)
10:23 (speaking in foreign language)
10:45 So, I guess, (speaking in foreign language)
10:48 You have to work with the 400 employees.
10:51 (speaking in foreign language)
10:55 Using that 400 manpower.
11:05 (speaking in foreign language)
11:09 (speaking in foreign language)
11:13 (speaking in foreign language)
11:16 (speaking in foreign language)
11:45 We live in a community, (speaking in foreign language)
11:50 (speaking in foreign language)
11:56 (speaking in foreign language)
12:00 (speaking in foreign language)
12:22 (speaking in foreign language)
12:26 Yes, sir.
12:32 So, any updates?
12:34 (speaking in foreign language)
12:37 (speaking in foreign language)
12:41 So, until now, we're waiting.
12:57 (speaking in foreign language)
13:05 This is regarding (speaking in foreign language)
13:10 I think also, the city should, (speaking in foreign language)
13:15 Especially, (speaking in foreign language)
13:25 Rapid transportation system.

13:47 (speaking in foreign language)
13:52 (speaking in foreign language)
13:56 (speaking in foreign language)
14:00 (speaking in foreign language)
14:04 So, that means (speaking in foreign language)
14:10 (speaking in foreign language)
14:24 (speaking in foreign language)
14:27 (speaking in foreign language)
14:31 Otherwise, illegal.
