00:45following the signing of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning or Aral Act in Toloc.

00:52He also stressed that aside from the national office,

00:55there are other key players behind the success of this law, namely the teachers.

01:22Their role is not only to educate, but to innovate and to inspire.

01:26Parents and guardians also part of it.

01:29To parents and guardians, I encourage you to maintain open lines of communications with your children's tutors.

01:36Monitor your child's progress and extend to them the support they need to succeed in life.

01:42And local government units or LGUs have also significant contributions.

01:48To our LGUs, I call on you to help cultivate a safe and conducive environment for in-person tutorials.

02:30highlighting the urgency of the learning crisis that we confront today.

02:35It is imperative, therefore, that we acknowledge this massive challenge,

02:39determine the necessary steps, and prioritize the implementation of learning interventions.

03:16in addressing the education crisis in the country.

03:19Pasig City Representative Romana Romulo, who is co-author of the RL Program Act,

03:26said it will take effect within and throughout the school year via face-to-face, online, and blended sessions.

03:35If this happens, first of all, it will be more voluntary,

03:39there will be additional compensation, and there will be upskilling.
