00:00Well, first of all, there are a lot of things that we should do in our district, especially health, livelihood, programs.
00:11There are a lot of things that we can do.
00:15We can help our constituents.
00:19There's a lot.
00:22Education. That's what I do. Health, education, livelihood.
00:28And of course, I haven't finished my third term yet.
00:38Some of them have already graduated.
00:41What do you think, sir? Will the pandemic reach the 20th Congress?
00:44It might be because we still have a lot to talk about.
00:50You know, this coming Friday.
00:53Even if it's recess, we're still doing it.
00:57I don't think it's a presence in my district.
01:02I've seen the support of my district members.
01:09I'm not afraid.
01:12Development is good.
01:14Because, you know, there are three things we're talking about.
01:16POGO, EJK, most particularly, under my committee.
01:22And drugs, right?
01:25We can terminate POGO this year.
01:32But EJK and drugs, I have a lot to talk about.
01:36Hopefully, it won't reach the 20th Congress.
01:41It's tiring.
01:43There's a lot.
01:44In fact, there are more than 400 illegal POGOs in the country.
01:52The POGO deadline is about 6.
01:56So it's still quite a long time before POGO can be terminated.
02:02Altenco promised that even if POGO is legal, it will be terminated.
02:06Well, for us, the positive intention of our former president to attend our hearing,
02:17that's a welcome development for us.
02:20In my committee, we invited him, although he failed to attend.
02:24But I don't think he will be invited on Friday.
02:28Because there are some witnesses that we invited.
02:33It would be a waste if we don't pay attention to all the witnesses that we invited.
