00:00As we commemorate the past, we must also prepare for the future.
00:08That future demands modernization, efficiency, accessibility.
00:13That's why today we launched our new initiatives.
00:16First, the HELPS, or this platform that streamlines the application processes for licenses and
00:23permits.
00:24It makes it faster for stakeholders to access DSWD services.
00:29Second, the Minors Traveling Abroad System.
00:32As part of HELPS, this system modernizes travel clearance processing for Filipino minors.
00:39It makes it easier for parents and caregivers, while ensuring the safety and well-being of
00:49Filipino children who travel to other countries.
00:54And lastly, the Pamilya sa Bagong Pilipinas Program.
00:58This initiative aims to strengthen family development and welfare in every stage of
01:04life, recognizing that nurturing households are the cornerstone of a thriving nation.
01:24These endeavors reflect a government that listens and that responds, a government that
01:37evolves to meet the needs of its people.
01:41At this juncture, let me recognize the steadfast efforts of the DSWD.
01:47Your courage, particularly during the recent spate of calamities, has been nothing short
01:53of extraordinary.
01:54Ikanga, you are the first to respond, but the last to sleep.
02:01While others sought shelter from the storm, you walked into the chaos to deliver relief.
02:08You have saved lives, brought hope, and demonstrated the true power of compassion.
02:15For that, the country is grateful.
02:19For that, your president is grateful.
02:21To my fellow Filipinos, the success of these programs does not rest on the shoulders of
02:31the DSWD alone.
02:33It requires our collective determination, support, and our effort.
02:38Let us build a Bagong Pilipinas, a nation where every citizen has a chance to dream,
02:44to strive, to succeed.
02:46A country where compassion is not merely a value but a way of life.
02:50A Philippines where no one gets left behind.
02:53Maraming salamat po, mabuhay ang DSWD, at happy anniversary sa ingin lahat.
