00:00And at this point, we will discuss the highlights of the three zones of President Ferdinand R.
00:20Marcos, Jr.
00:21Here in Mr. President on the Go.
00:24Yesterday, the Philippine National Police arrived because this is one of the safest
00:29areas held by our President.
00:32So that is the observation from outside.
00:34You, Dianne, are inside the plenary, what was your observation there?
00:38Well, of course, it's a different experience to hear the President's three zones inside
00:43the plenary.
00:44And if we talk about the highlights of the President's trip, it's great that the first
00:49part of his trip was focused on a topic that is close to the safety of ordinary Filipinos.
00:55As soon as the President started, it was about the price of rice.
00:59But the President felt that ordinary Filipinos are having a hard time, so that's how important
01:06the President is when it comes to local production.
01:09Well, the President set the highest rice yield in the past year, the highest since 1987.
01:16Even so, the President admitted that the local production is not enough, so it is being increased.
01:23Even so, the President is giving importance to increase the local production of our local
01:29farmers.
01:30In terms of the agriculture, more than 100 million kilos of rice have already been distributed
01:36and more than 300,000 have already been distributed to farmers.
01:41When it comes to the fishing sector, more than 500 million fingerlings and 3,000 cows
01:46have already been distributed.
01:48When it comes to the market, the market for rice, corn, and pork has been widened until
01:53the end of the year.
01:54When it comes to reforming agriculture, more than 130,000 titles have already been distributed
02:01to beneficiaries in the past two years, and more than P57 billion in loans from 600,000
02:08beneficiaries have already been disbursed.
02:10There is also the modernization of customs, more than P2.7 billion worth of smuggled
02:15agri-fisheries products have already been distributed, as well as the infrastructure
02:19for farming, farm-to-market roads, and machinery and different facilities have already been
02:26distributed.
02:27Water and irrigation, almost 45,000 hectares of new land will be given water this year
02:34and irrigations will be revived, almost 38,000 hectares of land.
02:39There is also the protection in planting, where more than P9 billion in compensation
02:44has already been given to affected farmers and fishermen in the past two years.
02:50And lastly, there are flood control projects, flood risk management projects, as well as
02:57cleaning in the new Philippines, where garbage has been collected with the help of local
03:03government units.
03:04What really strikes me here, Dayan, in what the President said, his special mention,
03:10the fact that he became a civil engineer from Mindoro, the son of a tricycle driver,
03:15a former four-piece beneficiary, this is the investment in human capital that our government
03:21is doing.
03:22This means that when you reach the service of the government, your life has hope.
03:28So, the former son of a tricycle driver, a four-piece beneficiary, is now a civil engineer,
03:34so his life has changed.
03:36This is the best example of the service of the government that our countrymen are receiving.
03:41Of course, the President mentioned the infrastructure programs.
03:45These are the long-term developments that our government is doing for our country.
03:50The interconnectivity of the islands, that has been the long-term dream of our President,
03:56former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., to connect by bridge the major islands of our country.
04:04Aside from that, what really struck me, you saw this, you witnessed this, Dayan,
04:08Standing Ovation.
04:09Standing Ovation.
04:10When there was a speech, the President made a speech about the stand of the Philippines
04:16in the West Philippine Sea, where he said,
04:19this is not what you think, this is for us and will remain for the Filipinos,
04:24the area of the West Philippine Sea.
04:26Another thing that struck me there, the closing of the ports in the country,
04:32whether it is legal or illegal, it was closed until December, starting yesterday,
04:36under the order of our President.
04:38Many lawmakers were pleased.
04:40And because of that, our lawmakers are thinking, according to their interviews earlier,
04:47that a lot of criminality will be reduced in our country because of the closing of those ports.
04:54The President said that a lot of problems will be solved,
05:00especially if the port operations are closed.
05:03Now, he gave a directive to PAGCOR to wind up all these operations at the end of 2024
05:09and to DOLE to give jobs to the Filipinos who will be displaced.
05:16So, legal or illegal, we are now No to Pogo.
05:19That is the stand of the administration of President Marcos.
05:22Well, the President's speech ended with him saying,
05:26We love the Philippines and we love the Filipinos.
05:29This speech of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. had a lot of content.
05:35It lasted for an hour and 22 minutes, a little longer than last year,
05:39which is an hour and 11 minutes.
05:41Even so, a lot of people were pleased with the speech of our President.
05:45They said that the Filipino heart is at peace.
05:49And that was our discussion on the activities of President Marcos Jr.,
05:54particularly in the last zone of the President,
05:58here in Mr. President on the Go.
