00:00Pagpapaalit sa mga Fogo, pag-jiit sa karapatan natin sa West Philippine Sea, at ang anay
00:20Bloodless War on Drugs.
00:22Ilan lang yan sa mga pangulangan tinalakay ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos sa kanya ikatlong
00:26State of the Nation Address.
00:28Nisa-isa rin ng Pangulo ang mga nasa ikatuparan ng administrasyon sa ekonomiya, infrastruktura,
00:34at pagtugon sa kahirapan.
00:36Saksi si Ivan Mayrina.
00:41Ang karahasan at mga kriming iniyog dahil sa mga Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator o Pogo
00:46hindi na maaring magpatuloy pa, ayon kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
00:50Effective today, all Pogos are banned.
00:54I hereby instruct Pagcorp to wind down and cease the operation of Pogos by the end of the year.
01:01The Labor Department has been ordered to help the workers who will lose their jobs.
01:08We need to stop this chaos in our society and to strengthen our country.
01:15Disguising as legitimate entities, their operations have ventured into illicit areas furthest from gaming,
01:23such as financial scamming, money laundering, prostitution, human trafficking, kidnapping, brutal torture, even murder.
01:35The West Philippine Sea is not just our imagination. It is ours.
01:42And we will continue to do so as long as the spirit of our beloved country, the Philippines, is alive.
01:59We will strengthen our right to a fair and peaceful way through our diplomatic channels.
02:06We will strengthen our defense and look for ways to de-escalate the tension.
02:12I know that our neighbors, too, are doing their best to make this work.
02:17The Philippines cannot yield. The Philippines cannot waver.
02:26He is emotionally grateful to the guards of the West Philippine Sea, as well as to the fishermen who are fighting at sea.
02:32To the Coast Guard, to our fishermen in the West Philippine Sea,
02:39you are the ones who are grateful to the whole country because of your hard work and sacrifice.
02:48When it comes to the campaign against drugs by the President, he called it a bloodless war on drugs.
02:54The President also offered more than Php 44 billion in drugs that were approved for operations and a 79% conviction rate.
03:01Our bloodless war on dangerous drugs adheres and will continue to adhere to the established eight E's of an effective anti-illegal drug strategy.
03:13Extermination was never one of them.
03:16The President also encouraged the various ministries involved in the administration of the economy,
03:24employment, el Nino and calamity, care for OFWs, strengthening tourism, infrastructure, and others.
03:33More than Php 200,000 will benefit from the various investment pledges obtained by the administration.
03:39The President also offered additional minimum wages that were approved in various parts of the country,
03:45as well as the expected increase in wages and additional allowances for government workers.
03:49For our government officials, they can expect a medical allowance as an additional benefit for the next year.
03:59There will also be a sharp increase in the salary they will receive from the four tranches.
04:05We have already set up a fund for this from this year and for the coming years.
04:13In the education sector, the fund was also distributed to the Expanded Career Progression System for public school teachers.
04:19With this system in place, we will accelerate the career growth of teachers.
04:23In this system, there will be no more public school teachers who will retire as Teacher 1 only.
04:32The problem of textbooks that should be up-to-date and error-free continues to be addressed.
04:37The level of proficiency of many students in Information Literacy, Problem Solving, and Critical Thinking is also low.
04:44Therefore, our National Learning Recovery Program must proceed without the slightest disruption,
04:50especially in basic education.
04:53This will be the challenge for our new era.
04:56We must ensure the development and improvement of the quality of education in the country at an even faster pace.
05:04It is also important for students to have access to electricity and the internet.
05:08That is why the infrastructure for internet connectivity is being strengthened.
05:12According to the data of 2022, only 20.6 million or 77% of the households in the Philippines are connected.
05:20Along with strengthening the internet, it will also strengthen cyber defense.
05:24Together with our private sector partners, we will efficiently harness the concept of common towers
05:30to provide connectivity to Filipinos who are at the far end of the last mile.
05:35The President also said that the price of rice will not stop rising,
05:39particularly the price of rice, which is still at P45 to P65 per kilo.
05:44Anya, no matter how good the statistics are, this will not be a problem if people do not feel it.
05:49We do not neglect your weak and difficult experiences.
05:55The price of rice is high, but it is still not enough compared to the consumption of Filipinos.
05:59That is why it needs to rise.
06:01However, the local production will still be strengthened.
06:04The administration also suggested that under the 2025 budget,
06:08there will be additional benefits for mothers and babies under the Pantawin Pamilyan Pilipino Program of 4Ps.
06:14Anya also hopes that all provinces will have sufficient centers and facilities
06:19to provide medical services to those in need.
06:22Each province targets to provide a mobile primary care clinic.
