00:00 Asalamualaikum. Madayaw umayong adlaw kaninong tanan. Magandang araw sa inyong lahat. As

00:10 we mark the commemoration of Typhoon Yolanda, we come together to remember and honor the

00:15 lives that were tragically taken away during one of the most devastating natural disasters

00:20 in our history. Typhoon Yolanda left an indelible mark on our hearts, but it also revealed the

00:27 extraordinary resilience and strength of those who were affected. In the midst of unimaginable

00:33 destruction, we witnessed the unwavering spirit of Filipinos who rose above adversity and

00:40 rebuilt their lives with determination and courage. This commemoration serves as a poignant

00:46 reminder of the importance of disaster risk reduction, climate change mitigation, and

00:51 disaster preparedness. It is crucial that we learn from the lessons of the past and

00:57 take proactive steps to prevent such catastrophic events from happening again. And true to our

01:03 panata na maging makakalikasan, we extend an invitation to all of you and humbly request

01:09 your support in joining us as partners for Pagbabago a Million Trees, a project of the

01:16 Office of the Vice President to plant a million trees by the year 2028. Likewise, by investing

01:24 in resilient infrastructure, early warning systems, and education on disaster preparedness,

01:30 we can safeguard our communities and mitigate the impact of future calamities. Let us also

01:37 acknowledge the tireless efforts of our brave first responders, volunteers, and humanitarian

01:43 organizations who during those darkest days worked tirelessly to provide aid, support,

01:49 and solace to those in need. Their dedication and selflessness were instrumental in helping

01:55 affected communities rebuild their lives and regain hope for a brighter future. Today,

02:02 as we remember the lives lost, let us unite in solidarity and commit ourselves to creating

02:09 a safer, more resilient future defined by sustainable development. Together, we can

02:16 build communities that are better prepared to face the challenges posed by natural disasters

02:21 and climate change.

02:23 Mga kababayan, patuloy tayo maging matatag sa pagtaguyod ng isang bansang makabata at

02:29 mga batang makabansa. Ang lahat ng ating ginagawa ay para sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa pamilyang

02:35 Pilipino. Syukran.
