00:00 Some senators want to hear the second State of the Nation address of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday.
00:08 Some of them have concerns about the Maharlika Investment Fund,
00:12 the issue of the price of the goods, and the poverty in the country.
00:17 Daniel Manalastang has more.
00:19 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is already holding a few State of the Nation addresses on Monday.
00:27 Some senators want to hear the State of the Nation address.
00:31 Senator Cynthia Villar is hoping to hear the President's latest State of the Nation addresses,
00:37 like the Maharlika Investment Fund Act, and the law that applies to the debts of farmers.
00:43 The Maharlika law is hoped to be supported by many.
00:47 I hope it will help agriculture, infrastructure, and energy, which is what is increasing our prices.
00:56 Villar's State of the Nation address on agriculture is a high grade, 8 or 9.
01:04 We cannot do everything if there is no cooperation of the people.
01:08 It's very important for the President to get the cooperation of the people,
01:13 and for the people to understand what we are doing.
01:16 Senator Bong Go is hoping that the President will give his commitment
01:21 to implement more programs to help the economy grow.
01:26 There should be no left behind Filipinos, especially our poor countrymen.
01:32 There should be no hunger.
01:34 It's important to have a job for every Filipino.
01:39 Senator Bong Revilla trusts the President that he will lay out the State of the Nation addresses in his area.
01:46 Along with the increase in the prices of goods, the increase in wages of workers,
01:52 the increase of jobs, the relief of poverty, and the strengthening of education,
01:58 the Senate will open the session of the Congress for the second regular session of the 19th Congress.
02:05 So, Villar was asked earlier, among the many questions,
02:09 if the change of the leader will really happen on Monday.
02:14 I don't think so. I'm not listening unless I'm not listening.
02:21 But the change of leadership is hard.
02:24 We will run out of time for changes.
02:28 We have a lot to do.
02:31 So, we make good use of our time.
02:35 Meanwhile, yesterday, the Senate's session hall was also cleaned up,
02:39 where Senate workers are preparing what the senators will use to make the opening of the session proper.
02:47 Daniel Maralastas for the "Bayan" (The City)
02:49 Not yet.
