00:05and Certificate of Condemnation to more than 2,000 farmers in Pampanga.
00:10This is the national news of Raquel Bayan of Radyo Pilipinas.
00:15More than 2,400 farmers from Pampanga are extremely grateful
00:21for the acceptance of the Certificate of Land Ownership and Certificate of Condemnation
00:25led by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. today.
00:29According to Victoria Serena from Florida, Blanca,
00:32who has been owning their land for more than 20 years,
00:36her children are not able to go to school
00:39because their family prioritized the problem of their title in the land.
00:43First of all, my children are not able to go to school
00:46because we are spending money on our land.
00:53For Leonila Lacanilau from Arayat,
00:56she has been thinking for more than 20 years
00:58on how to balance the income from their land while paying their debts.
01:04That's number one.
01:05That's number one.
01:06You're thinking, how can I pay my land back?
01:11Of course, that's a debt.
01:13I'm thinking, even if you don't have a lot of land,
01:17sometimes, like in the past,
01:21we were ruined again.
01:23Now, you're always thinking, how can I pay it back?
01:28Victoria and Leonila are among the few who will benefit
01:31from the elimination of the Marcos administration
01:34of more than P206 million in debt of farmers.
01:37In the distribution of the CLOA, Certificate of Condemnation today,
01:41President Marcos said that this program
01:43is just one of the steps of the government
01:46to strengthen the agricultural sector
01:48and help increase the life expectancy of farmers.
01:52Projects like this encourage us
01:56to be more persistent in helping others.
02:00May our contribution today serve as an inspiration
02:05for a new era in your lives
02:08where you and your family will not only ascend,
02:13but the whole country will be with you in your success.
