00:20That is the aspiration and direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

00:25In order to do that, the Joint Memorandum Circular, the campaign against starvation and poverty, was strengthened today.

00:37the more than 30 agencies of the government and international organizations,

00:42including the Department of Agriculture, Agrarian Reform and Social Welfare and Development,

00:49it was established that each Filipino should have sufficient and substantial food and reduce poverty in their communities.

00:56Back in 2016, it united community-based organizations,

01:01such as groups of farmers and fishermen,

01:05in government feeding centers and looked for markets to sell their products.

01:11Through this, we can improve farm productivity,

01:15take farmers, fisherfolk, other food producers to larger markets,

01:19provide secure income, ensuring that our children, our mothers,

01:23our most vulnerable have access to nutritious food.

01:27Because of the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty,

01:31the community-based organizations have lost more than Php 200 million.

01:43by providing credit, loans and insurance.

01:52and the use of a digital mapping system,

01:55is part of the commitment of Zero Hunger or Walang Magugutom na Pilipino.

02:00This year, we directed all government agencies

02:03and encouraged all local government units to support its implementation

02:07to bolster our efforts towards zero hunger,

02:10food and nutrition security, and sustainable agriculture.

02:14According to a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations,
