00:00 It is considered that the camera can record the broadcast of Congress TV on television that can be watched on your television of the country.
00:07 This is part of their initiative to provide information and service for the Filipinos.
00:13 Reporting by Mela Las Moras, Rise and Shine Mela.
00:16 Like the mass and symbol of democracy.
00:22 That is how House Speaker Martin Romualdez depicted the Congress TV broadcasted by the camera.
00:29 This is where the People's Television Network or PTV is located.
00:33 Congress TV is a free-to-air digital channel.
00:37 This is where the House of Representatives' hearings, sessions, and other activities are held.
00:42 According to the camera's leader, this project is part of the promise that no Filipino will be left behind in information and service.
00:50 Because the public will be updated, there will be a chance for the people to be part of the creation of laws.
00:58 In an age where information is both a tool and a weapon, the onus is on us, the elected representatives of the people,
01:05 to ensure that the power of information is harnessed to empower, educate, and engage.
01:13 It is with immense pride and a profound sense of duty that we, in collaboration with PTV4, unveil Congress TV.
01:23 This initiative is not just a channel, it's a bridge.
01:28 A bridge that connects the hallowed halls of the House of Representatives to every home, every school, and every Filipino.
01:37 In addition, House Deputy Majority Leader for Communications Erwin Tulfo said that the camera was previously active online,
01:44 but it still has a different impact and impact on television.
01:48 One might wonder, what's the difference?
01:51 Well, congressional hearings and sessions are shown live on Facebook and other social media sites.
01:59 The distinction lies in its unprecedented reach and accessibility.
02:04 Congress TV breaks barriers by being available on free TV.
02:08 PTV Network General Manager Ana Pood hopes that the public will support this project.
02:15 She also said that the network will work hard to make the service better for Filipinos.
02:22 I, conservatively, just want to be number two.
02:24 But my bosses would want, even President Marcos, would want PTV to be number one.
02:32 So, we are sorry to our opponents.
02:36 We are not taking a break because the target given to us is clear.
02:42 And I'm not stopping. PTV is not stopping so that we can fight together with other networks.
02:50 Aside from Congress TV, there are other big projects for national television.
02:56 Even the PTV General Manager said that they will be the new project.
03:02 I'll announce it here now, but January 31, we're going to launch Unity League.
03:07 It's an e-sports national competition.
03:10 Our first leg is Mobile Legends National Tournament.
03:17 We will be giving away millions of pesos.
03:19 And we're going to ask LGUs to come up with their own e-sports team.
03:30 And the winner will not only receive a cash prize,
03:36 but they can also vie to become a national athlete.
