00:00This exhibit helps us remember the past more vividly because we just do not hold our own memories but it has pictures, it has items from the past, it has recordings of his voice, it gives us a clearer picture of what has been and it makes us reflect on the value of the person that we are celebrating.
00:30We see how human Papa was although we try to protect him as a superman but he is really a very simple, honest, loving human being and I hope that this exhibit will allow us to delve deeper into his personal as well as his public life.
01:00And it would show us how a young man from humble beginnings was able to rise up about all the challenges he has experienced and made a niche in this world and made the lessons that we have learned from this life guide us to create our own choices in the future, today and in the future.
01:27So for me as a daughter and as someone who has loved me so much, it's a reminder that we have to seize the moment, that life is so unpredictable.
01:46Here, here, here, now, God, tomorrow.
01:49So it's not really the time of work and the time of death that matters.
01:53But what matters to Moses is what we make use of our time in between the birth and death.
02:03And exactly that's what the Congressman Legman has done.
02:07He has showed us a life well lived.
02:10He took chances.
02:12He made a stand.
02:13He made difficult choices.
02:15He pursued.
02:17He fell.
02:18Many times he fell but rose up again.
02:21He continued the fight.
02:23So learning from his many experiences would help us also reflect on our own lives.
02:30Where have we come from?
02:34Where are we moving?
02:35Are the decisions we made today, the decisions that we would be proud of in the future?
02:42Because I think there are many decisions that he has made that not only made him proud but also made him stand up above the list.
02:53So may this one month memorial exhibit of Congressman Legman leave an indelible mark on our hearts that we too will have our own farewells.
03:07So we hope that when the time comes, when the appointed time comes, we would bid farewell to a life well lived.
03:15Not just for ourselves but for others.
03:18A principled life filled with decisions that would impact not just on our own lives but on the lives of others.
03:26So basically it's about living a life for others and not just for ourselves.
03:33So may this resonate on the young people, especially the young people of today.
03:40That the choices we make are the choices that will bring us the future that we deserve.
03:50We deserve because it really depends on the choices that we make.
04:32I mean we might live in this way in theует estruturals.
04:37This is the ultimate disciple of Peatles.
04:43Yep, this is about copper, right?
04:44This one really made a house up in the eel, where you need to begin with.
