00:18Alan Francisco in detail.
00:23On July 2, his 95th birthday, former First Lady Imelda Marcos
00:29I have two Presidents.
00:44In the latest vlog of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., he gave an award to his mother.
00:49He praised the former First Lady for her contribution to the country.
00:54This includes the Specialty Hospitals and Arts Institutions that were built by his mother
01:00as a tribute to the Filipinos and appreciation to the Filipino talent.
01:04President Marcos remembered how the projects of the former First Lady Imelda
01:09gave recognition to the Philippines during the time of the former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr.
01:15My mother always tells the story that when my father just became President,
01:21he asked him,
01:23Okay, you are now the President.
01:25As for me, First Lady, what is my job?
01:29What is my role?
01:30My father replied,
01:32I will take care of the body of the nation.
01:35You must take care of the soul.
01:37And that is why he invested in the arts and culture.
01:40That was his advocacy.
01:42Our Filipinos can grow again.
01:47President Marcos thanked his mother
01:49because of his projects that he benefited from until now,
01:53especially after the pandemic.
01:55There are so many.
01:57Maybe for everyone,
01:59after the past three years,
02:01his Specialty Hospitals are very much felt.
02:04Because his Specialty Hospitals,
02:07Kidney Center, Arts Center, Children's Hospital,
02:11all of the Specialty Hospitals,
02:13so many were built.
02:15President Marcos wanted to continue
02:17what his mother started in the Specialty Hospitals.
02:20Since I sat down,
02:22I can see that Filipinos are great.
02:25Filipinos are kind.
02:26Filipinos are generous.
02:28We should really love them.
02:30The President also saw
02:32the greatness of his mother,
02:34her inspiration in public service.
02:36The people I saw in my mother,
02:38whoever she talks to,
02:40even the fishermen,
02:42even the Queen of England,
02:44even the rich,
02:46even her neighbors
02:48when she was still in Tolosa,
02:50her classmates when she was still in school,
02:53whoever she meets,
02:55there's a connection right away.
02:57My mother, you should understand,
03:00she's really from the province.
03:02She's really from D.
03:03I'm proud of it.
03:04And that's her charm.
03:06She doesn't lose her simplicity.
03:09So whoever she talks to,
03:11she becomes friends right away.
03:13I've seen it.
03:14She deals with arrogant politicians.
03:18She deals with a drunkard.
03:20She deals with a prostitute.
03:23She deals with a king.
03:26She deals with a billionaire.
03:29She deals with all kinds of people.
03:31And she becomes friends.
03:33She gets people's hearts right away.
03:35I'm still not a master.
03:36She's still a master.
03:37All of these
03:39show the greatness of her parents in the country.
03:42She's not my mother.
03:43She's my parent.
03:44All of what they do
03:46is because they love the Filipinos.
03:49They love the Philippines.
03:51They would die for the Filipinos.
03:53They would die for the Philippines.
