00:00I perfectly understand that. In fact, I don't really want to stay here because my children and my family are in the Philippines and my job is in the Philippines.
00:17But as Vice President, I also have a duty to a Filipino citizen who is held against his will here in the ICC Detention Center.
00:31So let's not think that he's my father. Let's just think that I'm the Vice President and I'm doing my best to bring a Filipino citizen back to our country.
00:46And I don't forget my work in the Office of the Vice President. We talk every day with my colleagues.
00:55There are only a few projects left because our budget is approximately P700 million.
01:05And most of our projects will depend on the end of school year of our children because we are focused on our education.
01:18So our preparations are before the new school year opens in the GIDA areas of our public schools.
01:29So yes, I'm multitasking. I'm here as Vice President. I'm trying to find a way to bring our former President back to our country.
01:40I work through our satellite offices, through our Central Office of the Office of the Vice President.
01:47Our services are continuous for the country.
01:52And yes, I don't have any plans to live here in the Netherlands.
02:00I don't want to stay here. I have a lot of work to do here and in the Philippines.
02:09And I know how to balance my work because a mayor's job is even harder because there are so many issues and concerns in one place.
02:24So I already know how to balance.
