00:00The Filipino Christmas is known for being all-out in decorations, decorations, and decorations.

00:09And now that December is coming, the next Christmas party is expected to be for family or friends, and even for offices and schools.

00:19But in an international school in Manila, there is an initiative from the students.

00:24Instead of having a Christmas party, they said they will have a fundraising to give to those who are affected by the typhoon.

00:29Kindness begets kindness, and the best thing we can do this Christmas is to help one person.

00:36The palace also called on the government agencies to make the parties as simple as possible.

00:42And what will be saved will be given to the affected communities.

00:46This is in line with what President Bongbong Marcos said yesterday.

00:50As a reminder, the Department of Education immediately issued a memorandum

00:55regarding a simple Christmas celebration to all their offices and schools to give donations to those affected by the typhoon.

01:03We asked our online supporters if they are in favor of this.

01:06One person said in favor.

01:08Because it's more important to give priority to the well-being of the residents than to the destruction.

01:13Another person said in favor.

01:14But I hope those in higher positions will be the first to help.

01:18Based on his observation, they are the ones who are leading in the destruction.

01:23Another person said in favor.

01:24Why should we involve people who are not affected by the typhoon?

01:27Those affected by the typhoon should be given hope so that their Christmas will be happy.

01:33Another person said in favor.

01:34The budget should be reduced in the election and given to those affected by the typhoon and to those who are not affected

01:40so that they can experience the miracle of Christmas.

01:42Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin believes that the President should not order a memo

01:49because Malacanang believes in the goodwill of the government officials

01:53who are willing to save in their efforts.

01:57Malacanang was not wrong in his belief.

01:59Not only in the government officials, but also in the private sector.

02:03Some of them are proven to be in favor of the typhoon.

02:06He even made a donation drive to give to those affected by the typhoon.

02:11The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry does not yet have an official position.

02:15But according to their chairman, this is a good initiative of the government.

02:19It would be good if the government officials set the example.

02:23We know very well that they have their own discretionary fund and they would say okay,

02:28we will also give so much for this calamity.

02:31That would be nice and it would be good for the private sector to be inspired by what our government and legislators are doing.

02:38For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina, your Saksay.

02:45Thank you very much.
