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.
