00:30 The country's biggest problem is the inflation or the price of goods,
00:34 according to the President.
00:35 To address this, there are policies and strategies that the government has implemented
00:39 such as opening Kadiwa Stores.
00:41 In the past few months, we have seen the price of goods in various sectors go down.
00:48 The goal of Kadiwa is to empower farmers and buyers.
00:55 There is no other way.
00:58 There is no need to add, spend, and add.
01:01 The income of farmers is good.
01:04 It also saves the buyers.
01:06 The President also said that some of the reasons for the price of goods to go up
01:10 are smugglers and hoarders who are misleading the price of agricultural products.
01:15 We are chasing and we will catch them.
01:18 These days are counted as smugglers and hoarders.

01:25 In the middle is the challenge of El Nino.
01:27 The government raised P14.6 billion for water supply projects.
01:32 The buffer stock and the water supplies are being prepared.
01:37 If necessary, we will also do cloud seeding to bring rain.
01:44 Along with all of this, we are also urging our fellow citizens to save water.
01:51 Following the establishment of the Water Resource Management Office,
01:54 the President also said that he is also asking the Congress to form a government
01:59 that will focus on ensuring the adequate water supply.
02:02 The President also said that the supply of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao's electricity is connected.
02:07 He also said that his government will put aside 100% electrification at the end of his term.

02:21 starting with the vital Mindanao-Visayas and Cebu-Negro-Spanay interconnections.
02:27 The President also recognized the importance of infrastructure in the economy.
02:32 That is why he will continue to allocate 5% to 6% of GDP or Gross Domestic Product of the country
02:38 for infrastructure projects.
