00:00And one of the many, many, many, and well,
00:09for Zaire, that's always been an important partner for,
00:14if you please, start off only infrastructure.
00:17But now you've expanded this into other areas.
00:21So I hope we can continue the discussion
00:24with the peace process as we have now.
00:27I'm a big fan of you, going well.
00:29We don't want to go through any particular problem.
00:33But if there's anything more that we can do on the Philippine
00:38side, we'll be happy to hear any suggestions you might have.
00:44Well, thank you, Mr. President.
00:47And thank you for giving us the opportunity
00:50to see you in a very busy schedule.
00:59First of all, I would like to extend our condolences
01:02to the victims of the recent series of typhoons.
01:10As a country sharing a similar fate,
01:17having lots of typhoons, but the recent experiences
01:26will force us to continue our collaborative work
01:31in order for disaster reduction.
01:35And on this occasion, if you, Mr. President,
01:38have some observations about how to tackle
01:44these type of natural disasters, and what sort of things
01:50that you consider, Jayakar, being part of your work,
01:55that would be extremely crucial.
01:57Oh, well, of course, the issue of flood control
02:00and the water management has become a big issue.
02:05Well, the water management problem came before.
02:09Because even before, when I was still
02:12in the water problem, already, I would see the big issues.
02:21And all the water management was not highly coordinated.
02:57So, I think that's a big issue that needs to be addressed.
03:02I think that's a big issue that needs to be addressed.
03:07I think that's a big issue that needs to be addressed.
03:12I think that's a big issue that needs to be addressed.
03:17I think that's a big issue that needs to be addressed.
