00:00 The sheer workload of the presidency is affecting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s engagement
00:05 with the Department of Agriculture, where he serves as concurrent Agriculture Chief.
00:10 In a House hearing on the DA's proposed 2024 budget, DA Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban
00:15 answers a question regarding how often Marcos attended meetings with top agriculture officials.
00:21 In the last three months, or let's say the last six months, you've had two meetings with

00:28 How many of those two meetings was the president present?
00:31 None.
00:32 But Panganiban says the two of them meet twice a week.
00:36 Panganiban adds Marcos relays his concerns through their bi-weekly meetings.
