00:00It's such a big thing. When the president was done in his zone, they thought they would win the vote. I can't believe it.
00:10But when they said, effective today, we will win the vote, they winded down. They winded down everything.
00:20I'm just doing my part. I'm just doing my part.
00:24I'm just doing my part. I'm just doing my part.
00:30I feel like you can see it in the kids who are in the zone, in the youths in the zone.
00:40It's important to be able to talk to the people who are in the zone.
00:47Well, I think this announcement was made by the president very loud and clear.
00:53So, it's like the resolution is not as academic anymore.
00:59Because the resolution, the sense of the senate, was passed.
01:02This is the sense of the senate. The sense of the senate is to ban the pogos.
01:06And the speech of the president was very loud and clear. All the pogos will be banned.
01:13Not only illegal, but all the pogos will be banned.
01:16For me, let's get whatever we can get.
01:20Instead of complaining, let's complain about something that was given by the president.
01:24And I also asked Senators Nguyen and Riza to not interfere in this issue.
01:33That he listens. That he listens to the people.
01:36He studies and assesses the reports being given to him.
01:44Not only by both houses, the HOR and the Senate, but also his cabinet officials.
01:51NED has spoken, DOF has spoken, even the PNP has spoken.
01:58So, I think he listens and it's definitely based on sound data that was reported to him.
02:08So, we commend the position and the decision of the president.
