00:00I know, I felt the Christmas right away because the noisy and noisy kids are here who are singing the Christmas carol loudly.
00:13More than two weeks before Christmas, the palace of Malacanang reopened for the rejuvenation, joy, and nationwide gift-giving day.
00:24President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, along with some members of the First Family, Joseph Simon and William Vincente, gave gifts to the kids.
00:39Of the 2,000 kids received by Aguinaldo, each bag is full of school supplies and household goods.
00:46According to President Marcos, despite the hardships he went through, he wants to be happy and celebrate Christmas joyfully, especially those affected by the calamities.
00:59You know, Christmas is our open house because that's the tradition of our family, the Marcos family.
01:11When I was a kid and we were still living here, we had a hard time last year.
01:17We were hit by an earthquake that hit El Niño and La Niña. Our agriculture dried up.
01:26First, El Niño was hit and then La Niña. It was full of typhoons.
01:33So, I hope we can just have a Merry Christmas.
01:36The First Family was also very happy with the joyous activity.
01:40President Marcos pulled the rope of the Rock of Goodies.
01:45The kids and the parents were very thankful to President Marcos.
01:51The First Family also gave a Christmas carol.
01:56Of the 30,000 kids, the nationwide gift-giving was the biggest.
