00:00Lessons from history and current events teach us that peace and order is an
00:06essential ingredient of genuine prosperity and social development. This
00:11is the path that we choose to take. Despite difficulties, despite our
00:16diversity and differences as a people, we are joined together by a unique history
00:21and have constantly invested our energies and resources in strengthening
00:25the pillars of peace. Our police, military, and Coast Guard undergo continuous
00:31capacity building and asset upgrading so that they are better able to preserve
00:35the peace and defend our territory. We have noted an overall decrease in crime
00:41rate and an improvement in crime solution efficiency. But this is not
00:46enough. This is not enough. Our law enforcement need to
00:54continue to earn the trust of our people. The strong pillars of our
00:59criminal justice system, especially in light of the new rules on criminal
01:04investigation and our independent judiciary, function in unison. In tandem
01:10with the justice system, COA's audit mechanism works in harmony with our
01:14transparency, streamlining, and open government initiatives. All in all, these
01:19successfully foster a culture of accountability that curbs corruption and
01:24government. With a newly enacted Republic Act number 12009 that I signed
01:30just last Saturday, government procurement will be modern and
01:34innovative, more streamlined and efficient, and truly at par with global
01:39best practices. We sincerely thank Congress for its timely and decisive
01:47action in amending the 20-year-old law.
