00:00Before President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is expected to visit the country,
00:06the Congress will open a session that has an important role in implementing changes in the country.
00:13But if lawmakers will ask, where are we in passing the priorities of the Assembly?
00:21The answer will be shared by one of the leaders of the Legislature in the news center of Daniel Manalastas.
00:30Before President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is expected to visit the country,
00:33President Francis Escudero was invited by PDV News.
00:37And just now, the Senate President recognized the leadership of the President in our country in the last two years.
00:44He is not yet half of his term, but he has done a lot and no one will recognize him.
00:49Our President is in the right place of mind, he is cognizant of the welfare of the people
00:54in order to find a solution to the problems that our country is facing
00:58and to solve the problems and to fix the problems.
01:04We do not expect him to do all of that in the next two years.
01:07But I believe that because the President has the right intention and heart,
01:12he will be able to use it in the near future.
01:14Senate President Escudero also answered some of the things he wants to hear from the President.
01:19Of course, the true situation of the country, the lack of ball or involvement.
01:25And secondly, the plans, plans, vision and the good wishes of the Congress and our fellow countrymen for the next year.
01:35Not only the report to the nation of the Senate,
01:38this is the chance for the President to talk to all of us,
01:41and this is our chance to listen to the President.
01:45The day of the Senate is also the day of the reopening of the Congress and the Senate session.
01:50They paid attention to the proposed laws that are the priority of the Administration,
01:56particularly the ones discussed in the LEDAC or Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council.
02:02It is noteworthy that last June, the LEDAC held a meeting
02:05where Escudero laid down some proposed laws that are the priority for them
02:11while there are some proposals that need to be clarified.
02:15Escudero also answered the criticisms against them in the Senate.
02:19We will do our best to finish within this year because next year, our session is only for more than a month.
02:25So, it might be a campaign.
02:27So, I hope we can finish everything this year.
02:31Whatever it is, I believe that we are in a hurry, we are in a hurry.
02:35Sometimes, the outcome is not good and it will start from the beginning.
02:39Just like this PNP Reform Bill.
02:41So, it is better to be sure even if it is not fast.
02:45But when it is done, it is nailed to the rock and it is right.
02:48When Senate President Francis Escudero laid down the laws,
02:51they were able to address some of the problems in our country
02:54such as the problem of increasing the price of goods or inflation
02:58and the problem in the West Philippine Sea.
03:01The number one thing that we should focus on is the price of rice.
03:06But at the same time, lowering the price of rice from domestic or foreign sources
03:12is the way to strengthen our own domestic production.
03:18So, this weakness, this lack of understanding for me,
03:22is just a small bump in the long-term relationship between our country and China.
03:30It has been hundreds of centuries.
03:33I believe that even if we have a territorial dispute between our country and China,
03:38it does not need to reach a point
03:41and we should not get close to the point of war between our two countries.
03:49This is also Escudero's first son-in-law as a Senate President.
03:53How did he prepare this?
03:55The Senator's funny answer.
03:57Nothing much.
03:59Maybe I'll just have a cup of coffee.
04:03So that if I have a long speech, I won't be like that.
04:06And maybe the opening of the Senate,
04:10I'm hoping to give a talumpati in the name of the Senate.
04:14That's probably the only thing I prepared for this opening of the Senate.
