00:00By your house, is that a separate incentive, your premium?
00:03Yes, it's a separate one, but we feel that it's important to support and to inspire all our athletes and to recognize their achievements.
00:18We are very, very proud of our medalists, and we are looking forward to more medals during the Olympics.
00:27And we are very inspired as a nation, so congratulations to our medalists and to our Olympians.
00:35They are really world-class.
00:37So 6m is 6n?
00:39Yes.
00:416n, 6n.
00:43I think there's a second one.
00:45So we want to make sure that they are equally inspired, equally acknowledged and rewarded for their achievements.
00:57Sir, what are you going to do with the money for the Olympics?
01:01Sir, where can I get the money for the Olympics?
01:04One at a time.
01:06Sir, what are you going to do with the money for the Olympics?
01:12Well, obviously, we are looking at other budget allocations to support the sports program of the Philippines.
01:20And we will work among other things with the Olympic Sports Commission and all the other sports agencies to make sure that our athletes are really supported.
01:34And beyond that, I think we will do a lot of benefits that can be afforded, like lifetime pensions.
01:42So talaga hindi lang, one time lang, pero we will be meeting with the president of the SSS to work out some proposals on how we can give lifetime benefits for pensions and stuff like that.
02:00Sir, since we're already deliberating the 2035 national budget, magiging priority po ang sports?
02:06Definitely. We've always felt that in sports, we not only develop the youth and inspire them to do well, but to have a very healthy lifestyle that is good for the entire nation.
