00:00The following Christmas parties are expected to be held this Christmas.
00:09President Marcos called on government agencies to simplify the Christmas parties and help those affected by the typhoon.
00:18This issue was discussed by Ivan Myrina in Barangay Saksi Online.
00:22Christmas in the Philippines is known for being an all-out celebration of decorations, festivities, and decorations.
00:32And now that December is coming, the following Christmas parties are expected to be held,
00:37to families and friends, and even to offices and schools.
00:42But in an international school in Manila, there is an initiative from students.
00:47Instead of having a Christmas party, they will be fundraising to give to those affected by the typhoon.
00:52Kindness begets kindness. And the best thing we can do this Christmas is to help one person.
01:00The palace called on government agencies to simplify the Christmas parties and give what they can save to the affected communities.
01:10This was followed by what President Bongbong Marcos said yesterday.
01:14As a reminder, the Department of Education issued a memorandum,
01:18in addition to a simple Christmas celebration, to all their offices and schools, to give donations to those affected by the typhoon.
01:26We asked our Kapuso online if they are in favor of this. One person answered favor.
01:31Because it's more important to give priority to the well-being of the people, rather than giving charity. Another person said favor.
01:37But I hope those in high positions will be the first to help.
01:41Based on his observation, they are the first to give charity.
01:46Another person commented, why should we help people who are not affected by the typhoon?
01:50Those affected by the typhoon should give hope so that their Christmas will be happy.
01:56And another person said, the budget should be reduced in the election and give to those affected by the typhoon and to those who are not, so that they can experience the miracle of Christmas.
02:05Executive Secretary Lucas Berzabin believes that the President said that there is no need to order a memo.
02:12Because Malacanang believes in the goodwill of the government officials who are willing to save in their efforts.
02:20Malacanang was not wrong in his belief, not only in the government officials, but also in the private sector.
02:26Some of them are proven to be in favor of the typhoon. He even made a donation drive to give to those affected by the typhoon.
02:35The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry does not yet have an official position, but according to their chairman, it is a good initiative of the government.
02:42It would be good if the government officials set an example. We know very well that they have their own discretionary fund and they would say okay, we will also give so much for this calamity.
02:55That would be nice and it would be good for the private sector to be inspired by what our government and legislators are doing.
03:01For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrena, your Saksi.
