00:11The budget of the Presidential Communications Office and Attached Agencies for 2025 has been approved at the committee level of the Senate.
00:20The PCO official, PCO Acting Secretary Cesar Chavez, was the first to approve it.
00:26He was also among the leaders of the various branches of the PCO, including the General Manager of People's Television Network Incorporated, Toby Nebrida.
00:36Secretary Chavez laid down several projects, activities, and programs of the PCO, in the present and plans ahead,
00:44such as the program for Freedom of Information, various communication workshops, trainings, and many more.
00:51The PCO has done a lot in the last two years, and we have also done a lot in the past that we are also using now.
01:02The projects were also included in the budget briefing, such as the Agriculture Talks and Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas.
01:10...on air, online, in sustainable speed and sustainable focus, so that 5 to 6 in the morning, in all registrations of Radyo Pilipinas,
01:19about 28 of them will feature issues, content on agriculture, so that it's not only about migas, palay,
01:29it's something to do with livestock, entrepreneurship. That's every day po.
01:34The Agriculture Talks in the 28 stations depends of course on the situation there and their needs.
01:41Exactly.
01:42That's a good project.
01:43According to Chavez, radio stations are also used to produce digital contents.
01:49This means that it's not only for radio, but it can also be seen on social media.
01:54We also feature, ma'am, success stories in agriculture.
02:01You have a YouTube version of that?
02:03Yes, I do.
02:04It can be seen on Facebook, it can be seen on YouTube.
02:09Yes po, yes po.
02:10So actually, ma'am, the attack of that is digital social media.
02:15The radio station was used to make it credible.
02:20Now, at the committee level, the Senate is expecting to discuss the budget of the PCO.
