00:00...Dapat pag-aralan natin ano naging cost from 3.1 kumakit sa 4.3. May pinanggalingan yan. Baka naman sa sobrang pamimigay ng ayuda kinamat tayong ating mga kababayan ayaw na magtrabaho.
00:20... So I think this is personal, personal opinion ko ito. Pinipisit natin sa napakaraming forma ng ayuda. Para sa akin, enhance na lang yung 4Bs kasi institutionalized, covered ng patas at ito'y talagang may datos, data-driven.
00:50... Baka naman natatapon lang yung pera. Samantaga kung 4Bs yung enhance natin, meron ito, this is time-bound. After 7 years ka-graduate may papalit na namang pamilya. Meron in-adjust yung nutrition, in-adjust yung edukasyon, at binibigyan ng trabaho dahil nakakaroon ng opportunity may mga livelihood.
01:20... This is my personal opinion na sana mag-stick na lang tayo, enhance na lang yung 4Bs kasi pinag-aralan yan at may patas. Samantaga yung ibang klase ng ayuda, hindi natin alam kung baka ito pa yung isa sa mga causes kung bakit tumaas yung unemployment rate from 3.1 to 4.3 kasi tinatabada anyway.
01:50So pag-aralan natin mabuti, anong naging cause or process noong pag-attach ng unemployment rate?"
