00:32I have two Presidents.

00:38You have two great Presidents.
00:40I have two Presidents.
00:42Wow!
00:44Wow!

00:52He considered her the first woman in his contribution to the country.
00:57This includes the specialty hospitals and arts institutions
01:01that his mother built as a tribute to the Filipinos and appreciation to the Filipino talent.
01:07President Marcos recalled how the projects of the former First Lady Imelda
01:12gave recognition to the Philippines
01:14during the time of the former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr.
01:18My mother always tells the story
01:20that when my father became President,
01:24she asked him,
01:26Okay, you are now the President.
01:27As for me, First Lady,
01:29what is my job?
01:31What is my role?
01:33My father answered her,
01:35I will take care of the body of the nation.
01:38You must take care of the soul.
01:39And that is why she built the arts, the culture.
01:43That is why she became an advocate.
01:45Our Filipino heritage
01:47can be re-expanded.
01:49President Marcos thanked his mother
01:52because of the projects he contributed to until now,
01:56especially during the pandemic.
01:58So many.
02:00Maybe, for everyone,
02:01who has been through the past three years,
02:04his specialty hospitals are very meaningful
02:07because his specialty hospitals,
02:09Kidney Center,
02:11the Arts Center,
02:12the Children's Hospital,
02:14all of them are specialty hospitals.
02:16So many were built.
02:17President Marcos wanted to continue
02:20what his mother started in the specialty hospitals.
02:23Since I sat down,
02:25I can see that Filipinos are great.
02:28Filipinos are very kind.
02:30We should really love them.
02:33The President also saw
02:35his mother's brilliance
02:36and her inspiration in public service.
02:38The people I saw in my mother,
02:41whoever she talked to,
02:43even the fishermen,
02:45even the Queen of England,
02:47even the rich,
02:50even her neighbors
02:51when she was still in Tolosa,
02:53her classmates when she was still in school,
02:56whoever she met,
02:58there was a connection right away.
03:00My mother, you should understand,
03:03is really a provincial person.
03:04Cecily Promdy.
03:06I'm proud of it.
03:07And that's her charm.
03:09She didn't lose her simplicity.
03:12So whoever she talked to,
03:14she became friends with right away.
03:15Because she had a deal with the arrogant politicians.
03:20She had a deal with a drunkard.
03:23She had a deal with a prostitute.
03:26She had a deal with the king of something.
03:29She had a deal with a billionaire.
03:32She had a deal with all of them.
03:33And she became friends with them.
03:35She got their hearts right away.
03:37I still didn't master that.
03:39She still mastered it.
03:40All of this
03:41was shown by her parents' talent in the country.
03:45What I saw was not my mother, but my parents.
03:47All of what they did
03:49came from their love for the Filipinos,
03:52their love for the Philippines.
03:54They will die for the Filipinos.
03:56They will die for the Philippines.
