00:00Senate President Francis Chis Escudero appraised the actions of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for the country within two years.
00:09Meanwhile, the Senate leader also discussed a number of proposed laws that are a priority to be passed.
00:15This is what Daniel Manalastas reported.
00:20Before the election of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.,
00:23PTV News appraised Senate President Francis Escudero.
00:27And just now, the Senate President appraised the actions of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for the country within two years.
00:34He did not finish half of his term, but he has already done a lot, and there is no doubt that the President's heart is in the right place
00:42regarding the welfare of the people so that he can find a solution to the problems that our country is facing
00:48and to solve any problems that may arise.
00:54We do not expect that he will be able to do all of that within two years.
00:58But I believe that because the President has the right intention and heart, he will be able to use that in the near future.
01:04Senate President Escudero also replied to some of the things that he wants to hear from the President.
01:10Of course, the true situation of the country, where there is no involvement or involvement.
01:16And second, the plans, plans, visions, and the things that he wants to ask for help from the Congress and our fellow countrymen,
01:25not only a report to the nation of SONA, but also a chance for the President to talk to us all, and a chance for the President to listen to us.
01:35The day of SONA is also the day of the reopening of the Congress and Senate session.
01:40They pointed out the proposed law that is a priority of the administration,
01:46particularly those discussed in the LEDAC or Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council.
01:52Remember, last June, the LEDAC held a meeting where Escudero laid out some proposed laws that are a priority for them,
02:00while there are some proposals that still need to be clarified.
02:05Escudero also responded to the criticisms they received from the Senate.
02:09We will do our best to finish within this year because next year, our session will only last for more than a month.
02:15So maybe, and it's still a campaign.
02:17So hopefully, we can finish everything this year.
02:22There are many things in my opinion that we rushed.
02:26Sometimes, the outcome is not good and it will start from the beginning.
02:30Like this PNP Reform Bill.
02:32So it's better to be sure, even if it's not fast, but if it's done, it's nailed to the rock and it's right.
02:39Senate President Francis Escudero also pointed out that they are fighting some other problems in our country,
02:45such as the problem of increasing the price of rice or inflation.
02:48There are also problems in the West Philippine Sea.
02:51The number one thing we should focus on is the price of rice.
02:55But at the same time, lowering the price of rice from domestic or foreign sources
03:02is the guarantee that we can strengthen our domestic production.
03:08So this weakness, this lack of understanding for me, is just a small bump in the long-term relationship between our country and China.
03:20This has been going on for centuries.
03:24I believe that even though we have a territorial dispute between our country and China,
03:29this does not mean that we should not reach a point of war between our two countries.
03:39This is also Escudero's first time as a Senate President.
03:43How long did he prepare for this?
03:45The Senator's answer is a joke.
03:47Nothing.
03:48It's the same.
03:50Maybe I'll just drink coffee.
03:53So if the speech is long, I won't be like that.
03:57And maybe the opening of the Senate,
04:00I'm hoping to give a speech on behalf of the Senate.
04:04That's probably the only difference I prepared for this opening of the Senate.
