00:13 Good afternoon, Mr. JL and all the viewers of PTV.

00:19 Thank you very much for listening to our program.

00:24 DJ, for our countrymen, what is the purpose of your launch of the copy of the new Philippines Forum?

00:34 For the first time in the history of the Philippines,

00:38 there was a simultaneous press conference in the whole Philippines, in 16 regions of our country.

00:45 We called this a copy of the new Philippines.

00:48 We held this in the Presidential Communications Office through the Philippine Information Agency.

00:56 At 9 am to 10 am, all our regions had a copy.

01:04 We invited the first deputy minister of the Department of Public Works,

01:10 Dr. Joseph J. Jairez, to announce the program of the new Philippines to our President.

01:18 We did this to help our countrymen, especially in the regions.

01:22 We also invited our four regional directors from Luzon, Visayas and Pintanao

01:30 to announce what happened this morning in the historic launch of the copy of the new Philippines.

01:40 DJ, how much help did this forum provide to our countrymen

01:47 to understand the programs that our government will implement?

01:53 The Philippine Information Agency is the grassroots arm, the information and communication arm of our government

02:01 for the grassroots and for the people in the provinces and municipalities.

02:10 Our countrymen need to understand the programs that our government will implement

02:17 through our offices and our information officers throughout the country.

02:22 That's why we decided to launch the copy of the new Philippines

02:27 so that we can reach all our countrymen.

02:30 It's important for our countrymen to understand the programs and activities of our government

02:38 so that they can continue and be a part of our efforts for a new Philippines.

02:47 DJ Joe, whenever the copy of the new Philippines will be implemented, where will it be held?

02:54 The copy of the new Philippines will be held in every region of the country.

03:02 We will hold it every Tuesday from 9 am to 10 am.

03:09 We will not stop there in Kapihan. Actually this morning, after Kapihan,

03:17 there was a town hall meeting in other regions to deepen the discussion that was discussed in Kapihan.

03:26 We will have media organizations from all over the country, including local legislations, local newspapers

03:35 and other media platforms to reach our program.

03:42 DJ Joe, please give a message to our countrymen who are watching us now.
