00:00In his third State of the Nation address yesterday, President Bongbong Marcos ordered the suspension of all POGOs in the country.
00:19He also mentioned the strengthening of our defense in the West Philippine Sea.
00:23The President also ordered the involvement of his administration, such as the effectiveness of his Bloodless War on Drugs,
00:29strengthening the economy, and many more.
00:32Here is my first news.
00:37The strength of the Crimean Indians because of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator or POGO
00:42cannot continue, according to President Bongbong Marcos.
00:53To wind down and cease the operations of POGOs by the end of the year.
01:12Disguising as legitimate entities, their operations have ventured into illicit areas furthest from gaming,
01:20such as financial scamming, money laundering, prostitution, human trafficking, kidnapping, brutal torture, even murder.
01:32The West Philippine Sea is not just our imagination, it is ours.
01:39And we will continue to do so as long as the spirit of our beloved country, the Philippines, is alive.
01:56We will strengthen our right to a fair and peaceful way, and through free diplomatic channels.
02:02Our defense will be strengthened, and we will look for ways to de-escalate or ease tensions.
02:08I know that our neighbors, too, are doing their best to make this work.
02:13The Philippines cannot yield. The Philippines cannot waver.
02:22He is emotionally grateful to the guardians of the West Philippine Sea, as well as to the fishermen who are fishing in the sea.
02:28To the entire Armed Forces, to the Coast Guard, to our fishermen in the West Philippine Sea,
02:36please accept our heartfelt gratitude to the entire country for your efforts and sacrifices.
02:45When it comes to the campaign against drugs by the President, he called it a bloodless war on drugs.
02:51The President offered more than P44 billion pesos in drug prices for the operations, and 79% conviction rate.
02:58The President also encouraged the various agencies of the administration to regulate the economy,
03:04employment, treatment of children and the elderly,
03:08care for OFWs, strengthening tourism, infrastructure, and more.
03:14More than 200,000 jobs will be affected by the various investment pledges obtained by the administration.
03:19The President also offered additional minimum wage that has been passed in various parts of the country.
03:24He also hopes for an increase in minimum wage and additional allowance for government workers.
03:29For our government officials, they can expect medical allowance as an additional benefit for the next year.
03:38There will also be a sharp increase in the salary they will receive in the four tranches.
03:44We have already set up a fund for this from this year and for the coming years.
03:52In the education sector, he also set up a fund for the Expanded Career Progression System for public school teachers.
03:58With this system in place, we will accelerate the career growth of teachers.
04:03In this system, there will be no more public school teachers who will retire as Teacher 1 only.
04:12The problem of textbooks that should be up-to-date and error-free is continuing.
04:17The low proficiency level of many students in Information Literacy, Problem Solving, and Critical Thinking is also increasing.
04:24This will be the challenge for our new era.
04:28To ensure the development and improvement of the quality of education in the country in the near future.
04:35It is also important for students to have access to electricity and internet.
04:39That is why the infrastructure for internet connectivity is being strengthened.
04:43According to Datu Song 2022, only 20.6 million or 77 percent of the households in the Philippines are connected.
04:51Along with the strengthening of the internet, cyber defense will also be strengthened.
04:55The President will also not stop in addressing the high price of rice,
05:01which is still at P45 to P65 per kilo.
05:04Anya, no matter how good the statistics are, this will not be a problem if people do not feel it.
05:10We will not neglect your weak and poor experiences.
05:15Rice prices are high, but it is still not enough compared to the consumption of Filipinos.
05:19That is why it needs to increase.
05:21Meanwhile, the local production will still be strengthened.
05:24The administration also suggested that under the 2025 budget,
05:28there will be additional benefits for pregnant women and mothers under the Pantawid Pamilyan Pilipino Program of 4Ps.
05:34Also, Anya, all provinces will have enough centers and facilities to provide medical services to the needy.
05:42Each province targets to provide a mobile primary care clinic.
