00:00 Sexyella, what can you say? Even the opposition is praising and showing support for Teresa's media and information campaign.
00:09 Of course, we are happy that even our opposition bloc is showing support for the media and information campaign.
00:17 Because for sure, they can see the importance of our advocacy to fight fake news.
00:23 Because of course, we are all vulnerable.
00:25 So we are thankful.
00:27 Thank you.
00:28 Second, how are the digitization plans of PTD and IPC? Is it related to the current budget allocated to us?
00:38 And what are the current plans of PTD? I heard there are 12 JICA projects. How is the status quo?
00:46 We are hoping to discuss this because there are proposed budgets in the NEP. The digitization projects of PTD4 and IPC13 were not given.
00:59 But we are hoping that they will be given because of course, by the end of the year, we will have to digitize.
01:05 We will migrate from analog to digital. So hopefully, we will have the consideration of our request.
01:14 But we are hoping that the JICA project will push through so that we can at least boost the digital campaign of PTD4 and IPC13.
01:22 Second question, I just want to ask the reaction of GM Anan that he is planning to make PTD the number 3 in his number 2 commercial station.
01:30 What are the plans of PTD? For example, station for rescue and emergency. What are our plans?
01:41 We have a lot of plans for PTD4. It is not the number 2, it is not the aim. It is number 1.
01:46 So, there are a lot of exciting times ahead for PTD4 and also for IPC13.
01:52 So, they have a lot of programs which I'm sure will excite all of us.
01:57 Thank you.
