00:00Well, perhaps the budget as was passed, you could describe it as sub-optimal, but we are remedying that situation and we are returning the most, well, let me put it simply.
00:17Ang ginagawa natin ay yung mga masyadong nawala sa NEP, sa National Expenditure Program, na hindi na nabigyan ng pondo, ay hinahanapan namin ng mga savings para maibalik ang mga pondong yan, kagaya sa edukasyon, kagaya sa health, kagaya sa mga pabahay.
00:40I'm sorry?
00:41For tourism?
00:42Yes, we already were able to.
00:43Natanggal yung branding budget nila, maibabalik natin.
00:44So this is what we are doing.
00:45So maybe the, as I said, the original budget can be described as sub-optimal, we are working
00:46to make it optimal once again.
