00:30In the midst of dry weather and strong winds, affected areas such as San Diego, where there were evacuations, are being added.

02:06If ever, according to an expert, this is a big blow to the Philippines, especially in the United States where we are getting the biggest US military aid in the East Asia-Pacific region.
02:20This should be a wake-up call to the Philippines that we cannot rely on the defense of our territory. America should always be there.

03:12The US Agency for International Development is here. They have a lot of programs here. They have capability programs for our agencies.
03:25It will stop if they say that they cannot disburse.
03:30We will clarify if their official development assistance or ODAs are included in Trump's suspension order.
03:39This is $616 million in 2023 for our 40 development projects.
