00:21This kind of government caravan is being strengthened and expanded.
00:28This is the new Philippine Service Fair that is being run by the government in 21 provinces in the country.
00:33The largest is Davao del Norte where the government helped 280,000 beneficiaries.
00:39The administration has 61 provinces to target.
00:42It just needs stronger and more extensive assistance.
00:45That's why more than 30 representatives from national agencies,
00:49House of Representatives and local government units from all over the country helped to discuss how to strengthen the State Funded Service Fair.
00:56In addition to this gathering, the BPSF Caravan was strengthened
01:00which is being run by the administration from all over the country through the extensive assistance of government agencies.
01:07In a statement, House Speaker Martin Romualdez urged all departments and agencies
01:12to strengthen and expand the BPSF so that it can reach more people, especially in the faraway provinces of the country.
01:19Legislators are also hoping that the administration will be able to distribute quality services.
01:26There is good news from the Congress because of a bill that was recently passed.
01:31This is the new Philippine bill that was passed by House Deputy Secretary-General Sofonias Gabonana Jr.
01:37who is asking for funds and systems for the implementation of programs.
01:41The BPSF Service and Assistance Centers are also included in the bill.
01:46If there is one in the bill, it will be able to reach more people.
01:51Because of this, experts are looking forward to the BPSF for the Sustainable Development Goals of the country.
01:58But the government should not be the only one because there is also a great need for the active cooperation of the private sector, community and individual.
02:06We should not take in isolation convergence as a goal. It's a method.
02:13Bottom line, we want to reach those who need our services.
02:19The new Philippine BPSF is being managed by the administration.
02:23In fact, 21 provinces were given a total of P12 billion in services,
02:29in addition to P5 billion in assistance received by 2 million beneficiaries.
02:34This is a proof that we can do a lot for the country as long as we are united.
02:40The BPSF is an initiative of House Speaker Martin Romualdez and other lawmakers based on the President's order.
