01:56We don't do that. The Philippines does not escalate tensions.
02:00Quite the opposite. The Philippines always tries to bring down the level of tension.
02:06Our private sector...
02:08Tony, the President was here earlier in Pulilan, Bulacan for the inauguration of the 5-kilometer Third Viaduct between Pulilan, Bulacan and Candaba, Pampanga.

02:26for the groundbreaking of the Cancer Care Center at OFW Hospital there.
02:32The project will be completed in November of next year.
02:36That is the latest from Pulilan, Bulacan. Back to you, Tony.
