00:00 We are thankful to our President Bongbong Marcos for his statement yesterday that we need to open our economy through the amendment of our Constitution.
00:14 So that more foreign direct investments can enter our country to create a good and quality job for every Filipino.
00:26 We have been fighting this for a long time in Congress through our Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:33 That is why I am talking to our fellow Senators.
