00:00At this point, let's talk about the latest update on the programs of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., here on Mr. President on the Go.
00:11First of all, fellow countrymen, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:16On Tuesday, the largest water reservoir project in Ilo-Ilo, the 20-billion-pesos water reservoir project, which is also the largest outside of Luzon,
00:29was completed more than 40 years ago. It's been a long time, Dayan, since its first phase was completed in 1982.
00:36At this time, it was his father, former President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:42The dams of the Halaur River Multi-Purpose Project, Stage 2, reach more than 80 kilometers with 31,840 hectares.
00:55When this infrastructure project is completed, it will make a big contribution to the aspirations of the government of food security for our country
01:05because of the area of land that will be irrigated by irrigation.
01:11You mentioned, Audrey, that this is a big help for food security.
01:15Residents of Ilo-Ilo are thankful for this important project.
01:20Aside from food security, of course, it has a ripple effect.
01:23The agriculture sector will improve.
01:25And when the agri-sector improves, it will also help the local economy in the whole region.
01:32Tourism activities will also increase.
01:34And aside from that, this will also help solve the problem of flood.
01:39So, we will get a lot of benefits from the Halaur River Multi-Purpose Project.
01:45Now, in terms of agriculture, it is expected that 25,000 farmers will benefit from this project of the National Irrigation System.
01:55As our President said, he always thinks about the well-being of our farmers.
01:59Because the sacrifices of our farmers are different.
02:02Every day, they work hard to ensure that every Filipino family can eat.
02:08That is why the government will not stop the construction of these infrastructure projects
02:14so that your work will be easier and the lives of Filipino farmers will be better.
02:19Meanwhile, for our fellow countrymen,
02:22the projects that our government is currently doing will result in more economic progress
02:29that will give more opportunities for the Filipinos.
02:33This includes the Build Better More, or the infrastructure projects,
02:38and other transportation projects that the administration is targeting for the transport sector.
02:45According to our President Marcos Jr.,
02:47the Build Better More Program will also provide a more sustainable and prosperous life
02:54to the various sectors of our society.
02:56In addition, this is the path that we will take towards a new Philippines.
03:02As for the projects implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways,
03:06from July to December 2022,
03:09these will include 1,500 kilometers of national roads and local roads in the country.
03:16There will also be projects that will be ready for the ground-breaking before the SONA arrives.
03:21This year, right? This is already next week.
03:23So, as for this, the facilities for the National Kidney and Transplant Institute,
03:29the Pediatric and Adult Specialty Center of the Philippine General Hospital,
03:34the Philippine Children's Medical Center, and the Philippine Cancer Center.
03:38So, the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s very high priority is the infrastructure projects.
03:46So, as you mentioned, Audrey, the projects here in the Build Better More,
03:51not only the trains, the bridges, the roads,
03:54so this will cover various sub-sectors, as you mentioned, the hospitals.
03:58So, that's for our health.
03:59There's also for digital connectivity.
04:02There's also for our water resources, like the water reservoir project that we discussed earlier.
04:09There's also for energy.
04:11So, this will cover a lot of sub-sectors.
04:13And as you know, when the administration gives priority to these infrastructure projects,
04:19these big projects,
04:21this will generate a lot of jobs and our economy will be active.
04:27And that's our update on the programs of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
04:33Until the next episode of Mr. President on the Go!
