00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. promised to continue to help the fishermen and their families affected by the El Niño.
00:11 Aside from quick help like aid,
00:14 the administration of President Marcos laid out various legacy projects,
00:20 not only in Bicol Region, but also in other parts of the country.
00:24 That's the center of the news, Denise Osorio.
00:29 In the middle of the dry El Niño,
00:33 fishermen are just struggling to catch fish
00:37 until they can't bring their own food.
00:41 Including the fisherman, Mang Roman Ang Masbate,
00:44 who was hit by a wave of the storm.
00:47 I couldn't catch my fish,
00:51 because it died because of the heat.
00:53 It's not easy to get their catch back,
00:58 because they have to wait for 4 months to eat.
01:01 If the rain continues,
01:03 if it gets hotter,
01:05 we don't know what will happen.
01:07 People like Mang Roman,
01:09 who needs help because of the weather,
01:12 were the first to be noticed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
01:16 when he visited Legazpi City, Albay this Friday.
01:20 The fishermen in the Philippines are the ones who feed our countrymen.
01:25 But it's sad that you are the ones who feed the people,
01:31 while you are the ones who are struggling
01:33 because you can't feed your own family.
01:37 We will change that,
01:39 and we will ensure that the fishermen and fishermen will have a better life.
01:45 [applause]
01:49 More than 5,000 beneficiaries received Presidential Assistance to Farmers and Fisherfolks, or PAFF,
01:56 to start again.
01:58 It's very important.
02:00 Because I don't have a farm,
02:02 I can't plant anything.
02:04 If there's cash,
02:06 we can buy a farm and a fertilizer.
02:08 That's the most important thing for us, to be able to farm.
02:11 We all know that our farmers and fishermen are at the front line,
02:18 always leading our fight for food security and economic stability.
02:25 That's why every help that we give them is not only for their own good,
02:32 but also for the good of the whole country.
02:36 Yacob Bicol Party List Representative Elizalde Co. also gave a big help
02:41 to the Legacy Projects of the Marcos Administration
02:44 to make the economy of the Philippines prosper, not only of Bicol.
02:50 Aside from the Legacy on Food Security,
02:54 there are also Legacy Specialty Hospitals and Legacy Housing Projects.
03:03 Your Legacy Specialty Hospitals Project is a big step towards
03:10 a quality medical service for everyone.
03:15 House Speaker Martin Romaldes led the groundbreaking ceremony
03:19 of the 20-story Legacy Building of the Integrated Specialty and Wellness Center Hub
03:25 of Bicol Region Hospital and Medical Center.
03:28 This is also a Legacy Project that can meet the needs of the whole region.
03:34 It is also considered world-class and has a comparison with the hospitals of Singapore.
03:41 Bicol has always been a very, very proud region.
03:48 And this groundbreaking ceremony was led by the House Speaker Martin Romaldes.
04:00 To be honest, I was a bit surprised.
04:02 When we got in the car, we saw the perspectives.
04:10 We were surprised.
04:12 They said, "Wow, Manila has lost.
04:15 It's like we're in Singapore. It's like we're in America."
04:21 I'm sure that after this, you here in Bicol, you will be the model.
04:28 You will be the gold standard here in our medical health centers.
04:35 And this testament of our vision of our President, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
04:41 a legacy of his father and his mother, President Ferdinand I. Marcos Sr. and First Lady Melda R. Marcos,
04:50 is really in the heart of the specialty hospitals.
04:54 The administration hopes that every Filipino will be healthy and productive,
05:00 so the President is promising to continue the government's assistance to the people.
