00:00 What will be the legacy of this avenue to the people who want to know Senator Miriam?

00:08 To show to the people who believe in her that her principles and her voice are continuous.

00:17 We can see that people who support her believe in her.

00:24 In a personal way, I'm very happy about this road to remain after somebody who is an icon of the governance.

00:31 And I hope that it will be an inspiration to the leaders of our city,

00:36 that her legacy, her fearlessness, her fight for the rights of the people,

00:43 we will continue that as the leaders of Yessin City.

00:46 So I hope that this remaining will be an inspiration to leaders but also to the youth.

00:53 Because the people who really love her are the youth.

00:56 Because the youth are realistic, the youth are really fighting for the right,

01:02 and she became the model of the youth.

01:05 So I think that the youth are very happy about this remaining.

01:10 And I hope that this road will remain after such an inspiring lady

01:16 who will continue to inspire our youth to fight for truth, to fight for what is right.

01:22 And above all, to fight for honest governance.

01:25 Bong, how will the youth be inspired by Senator Miriam Santiago's ideals

01:31 that this whole stretch of BIR and the road I've been renaming as Senator Miriam Santiago Avenue?

01:38 Definitely, the history about her won't stop.

01:40 She's always taught in school.

01:42 She's always been a good example even in my generation.

01:44 As Miriam de Alza Santiago is, and it's always been a positive adjective.

01:50 And you know, she's nothing but a blessing for our country.

01:53 So how would this help the young ones is to believe that changing something impossible is possible

02:01 only if you have the perseverance, the heart, and the love for the country.

02:04 Which she showed, she's changed a lot of things for us, she's done a lot of things for us.

02:08 And definitely with the teachers knowing this, with the older people, the adults knowing this,

02:13 teaching the children, again, we all boil down to being a very good example to the youth,

02:18 but if you were more of a teacher, you would adapt.
