00:00President Coordinate R. Marquez Jr. passed three laws that will help in promoting the livelihood of Filipinos.

00:07One of the laws is about the food security of the country

00:12and the one that will protect the mental health of teachers and students.

00:16This is Glazel Pardilia of PTV in Balitang Pambansang.

00:22Social media is making the communication between Melfi's parents and friends very fast.

00:27She's still hesitating to use it.

00:30She says that sometimes it's because of her stress.

00:33There are things that children should not see.

00:36Like those who are fighting, you will see thugs.

00:40I hid it so that I won't see it anymore.

00:42There are a lot of things that are done in schools

00:45that cause stress to Kathy's daughter.

00:48That's why she's discarding it as a parent.

00:50There's really a banding.

00:52We go out, we go to church, so that they can still enjoy their childhood.

00:59To take care of the mental health of the children,

01:04President Coordinate R. Marquez Jr. passed the Basic Education Mental Health and Wellbeing Promotion Act.

01:11This will protect the programs that will improve the mental health of children in elementary and secondary schools.

01:19Under the proposed law, care centers will be established in schools.

01:244,600 plantilia positions will be opened for school counselors in schools

01:31that will provide free counseling, stress management, and reduce the stigma of mental health.

01:38When our learners and school personnel are mentally healthy, academic performance improves.

01:44Absenteeism decreases and a culture of compassion and understanding flourishes.

01:51Beyond being a safeguard to our youth and school personnel,

01:55this law is also an investment in the intellectual, emotional, and social future and development of our nation.

02:02The VAT-Free Fund for Non-Residents Tourists Act was also passed.

02:07Tourists are expected to be able to apply for this while the Philippines is recognized as a prime shopping destination in Southeast Asia.

02:16This will allow non-residents to claim a 12% value-added tax refund for local products purchased here in the country,

02:27which amounts to P3,000 per transaction.

02:30According to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,

02:3330% of the country's tourism spending is expected to be increased

02:39which is a big help for small businesses and local industries.

02:43This VAT-Free Fund program will help put a spotlight to our rich local offerings.

02:50Our signature products such as marikina shoes, the intricate hand-woven textiles from the northern provinces,

02:57the timeless craftsmanship of Filipino barong all stand to benefit from this measure.

03:03These products tell our stories and now with the VAT-Free Fund,

03:08they will be able to be more accessible to global consumers,

03:12elevating once again our stature in the global market.

03:16The country's revenues will increase because of the VAT-Free Fund mechanism for our tourists.

03:25What that means is that the income of our small and medium enterprises will increase

03:31and there will be more jobs for our countrymen.
