00:07Filipinos out of poverty and only 10.9 percent of Filipino families remain poor. Our goal is to

00:15further reduce this rate to nine percent by 2028 and improve the lives of eight million Filipinos.

00:21Inuulit ko, baliwala lahat ng ating ginagawa kung walang pagbabago sa buhay ng mga Pilipino.

00:34social protection programs, health and education for all Filipinos. We will not

00:39rest on our laurels but use them to propel us forward into social and economic transformation.
